VTC Series

The WELE VTC1612, VTC1616, VTC2020, VTC2525, and VT16 are highly rigid vertical turning centers designed for heavy cutting and large part machining. Built with high-grade, single-piece cast iron frames and hydrostatic tables with C-axis indexing, these machines provide exceptional vibration absorption and long-term accuracy. Featuring puzzle-type magazines, automatic head changes, and curvic gear-tooth couplers, their live-function spindles enable combined turning and milling operations in a single setup for maximum flexibility and precision.
