EMAG Machine Tools: Vertical Turning, Grinding and Milling Centers
We select EMAG machines for your part and batch size: VL, VT and VSC turning centers, grinders, coupling machining, automation and retrofit. Send a drawing and annual volume.
VL and VM Vertical Turning Centers
Compact pick-up turning centers for series production of chucked parts: the spindle loads the blank from a conveyor itself, so chip-to-chip time stays short. The platform is modular and configured for the part.
The VL 2 machines flanges and gears, while the VL 8 takes blanks up to Ø 400 mm. The machines link into a line with simple automation such as conveyors, flip-over units and changers.
- VL 2, VL 4, VL 6, VL 8: workpiece Ø 100, 200, 300 and 400 mm, chuck 160–500 mm.
- VL 3 DUO: two spindles up to 17.9 kW and 144 Nm, a 12-position turret in each work area.
- VM 9: 83 kW spindle at 990 Nm, turret up to 12 positions, turning, milling and drilling.
- MINERALIT polymer concrete base damps vibration; a VL 2 needs about 5 m² of floor.
VT and VTC Turning Centers for Shafts
A vertical layout with two turrets: turning from both sides and gripper loading in a few seconds. It suits large batches of shafts, rotors and axles.
Both sides are machined at once, a workpiece changeover takes about six seconds, and the part is completed in a single setup. The VT 200 differs from the VT 4 only by its Siemens control.
- VT 2: shafts up to Ø 100 × 400 mm; VT 4 and VT 200: up to Ø 200 × 630 mm.
- Two turrets with 11 positions each, the twelfth holds the gripper; four axes at once.
- VTC 100: main spindle 34 kW, 144 Nm, 6000 rpm.
- VTC 315 DS: shafts up to Ø 240 × 700 mm, turning and grinding in one machine.
Customized VLC, VSC and VST Centers
Machines built around a specific process: turning, drilling, milling, grinding, gear hobbing and honing can be combined in one center. The part and cycle time define the configuration.
The vertical layout lets chips fall away freely, so even dry machining is possible; the VSC 400 / 450 is used for gears, sprockets, couplings, connecting rods and bearing rings.
- VLC 100, 200, 300 and 400: workpiece Ø 100, 200, 300 and 400 mm.
- VSC 250: Ø 250 × 175 mm; VSC 400 / 450: chuck up to 460 mm; VSC 500: Ø 500 × 200 mm.
- VSC 500: drive up to 71 kW and 750 Nm, machine length about 4 m.
- VSC DUO, VL 3 DUO and MSC 5 DUO are twin-spindle solutions for series output.
Universal and Cylindrical Grinding Machines
The range runs from the compact non-CNC ECO 200 to universal UG and customized HG grinders for external and internal surfaces of shafts and chucked parts.
The HG 208 offers corundum or CBN wheels, up to three spindles on the B axis and in-process measurement; the WPG 7 comes in 0° and 30° versions with a Fanuc control.
- UG: grinding length 400, 630, 1000 and 1500 mm, direct-drive spindles up to 11 kW.
- HG 2 and HG 208: workpiece up to Ø 200 mm, length 400 and 800 mm; wheels up to Ø 500 mm (HG 208).
- WPG 7: length up to 250 mm, 14 kW wheel drive, up to 50 m/s, wheel up to Ø 500 mm.
- ECO 200: conventional machine without CNC, grinding length 400 mm.
Out-of-Round, Face and Combined Grinding
Machines for camshafts, small chucked parts and hard machining: SN, VG and the turning-grinding VLC 200 GT.
The SN grinders target camshafts for motorcycles, cars, trucks and heavy-duty diesels; the VG 110 combines face grinding and turning in one machine.
- SN 204 / 208: camshafts up to Ø 380 mm, length 600 and 950 mm.
- SN 310 / 320: Ø 360 and 640 mm, length 1000 and 2000 mm.
- VG 110: chuck 100 and 190 mm, internal grinding up to Ø 60 mm.
- VLC 200 GT: Ø 200 × 100 mm, internal and external grinding, hard turning.
HCM and VSC KBU Milling Centers
Specialized centers for constant-velocity joint parts: ball cages and ball raceways machined in a single setup.
Milling can replace the grinding of ball cages that some plants still process on legacy machines; the KBU machines handle joint housings, axle journals and hubs.
- HCM 110: two spindles, part Ø 30–110 mm; soft and hard milling.
- VSC 315 KBU and DUO KBU: ball up to Ø 30 mm, length up to 280 mm, Ø up to 160 mm.
- VSC 315 KBU: swivel unit (B axis) on a torque motor, from −30° to +90°.
- VSC 315 TWIN KBG: two workpieces at once, hard machining of straight raceways.
Machines for Oilfield Couplings and Pipe Ends (OCTG)
Complete machining of couplings and pipe ends, including external and internal threads: API, GOST and premium connections.
EMAG describes itself as the leading company for OCTG machines; the range covers international API and GOST threads and proprietary connections, and the USC 21 does both external and internal machining.
- VSC 400 CM / DUO: couplings 2 ⅜–9 ⅝ inch, chuck up to 445 mm, X travel 850 mm.
- VSC 500: couplings 6 ⅝–13 ⅜ inch, chuck up to 500 mm, X travel 1000 mm.
- USC 21: pipe ends 2 ⅜–20 inch, X travel 350 mm, Z travel 600 mm.
- MINERALIT bases reduce vibration during thread cutting.
Automation and Line Integration
Workpiece feeding systems link machines into a production line and cut manual handling.
Parts can be fed pre-aligned in baskets or drawers or unordered as bulk material, and stacking cells let machines run autonomously for hours.
- TrackMotion: a TransLift carriage on a rail picks, turns and places parts.
- SCS: stacking cells; SCS 1 handles parts up to Ø 200 mm, SCS 4 up to Ø 400 mm.
- MRC: robot cell, optionally with bin picking of parts from bulk.
- CRC: robot cells adapted to customer requirements; gantry loading is also offered.
Retrofit and Machines from Stock
EMAG upgrades machines built on a rugged MINERALIT base, from a mechanical and electrical rebuild to new spindles and controls.
Modernized machines match the performance of new models, and a retrofit can add technologies and IoT modules or swap the control panel for a Siemens one.
- More than 25 years of retrofit projects; stock machines are overhauled with worn assemblies replaced.
- Spindle repair: Basic covers bearings, seals and a test-bench run; Full adds hydrostatic bearings and encoder.
- The CC15 (Schubert) panel is no longer available; EMAG offers a Siemens replacement.
- VL 2, VL 4, VL 6, VL 8 and VL 3 DUO are offered from stock.
What we need to select a machine
Send a drawing or sketch of the part, material, annual volume and target cycle time, tolerances and surface requirements. The series follows blank diameter, length and weight: VL and VM for chucked parts, VT and VTC for shafts.
Say whether automation is required and note shop floor space and control preferences.
How to Read EMAG Machine Designations
EMAG has three classes: Classic, Modular and Customized. Modular VL and VM are for chucked parts, VT for shafts; customized VLC, VSC and VST are for chucked parts, VTC for shafts. Grinders: UG and ECO, WPG, HG, SN and VG.
The class sets the depth of configuration: Classic is a basic package, Customized is a machine built for a specific process.
Pick-up Layout and MINERALIT Base
EMAG has built turning machines since 1952, and in 1992 it was the first to build a machine with a pick-up spindle: the spindle travels the axes itself and takes the blank.
The MINERALIT polymer concrete base provides damping, and the vertical layout helps chips fall away.
The modular VL 2, VL 4, VL 6, VL 8 and VT machines debuted in 2013.
Other EMAG Group Directions
The EMAG Group also includes gear cutting (EMAG SU and KOEPFER), electrochemical machining (ECM), laser welding (LaserTec) and induction hardening (eldec). Their machines are covered on separate pages.

How We Quote a Supply
After your request we clarify the part parameters and output requirements, select the series and configuration and prepare a commercial offer. Then we agree delivery terms and logistics to your plant.
Technical questions about machines, automation and retrofit can be handled in a single request.
What we do not confirm
We are an independent supplier and do not represent EMAG. Availability, price, lead time and configuration are confirmed when we quote your task; we found no public spare part number catalog on the manufacturer’s site.
