Frequently Asked Questions

What is an SPM machine?

An SPM, or special purpose machine, is a machine tool designed and built for one specific job or component rather than general machining. It is configured around the customer’s part, operations and production volume, so it can combine several steps such as drilling, boring, milling and tapping into one setup. This cuts cycle time, reduces handling and keeps quality consistent in high volume production.

What is the difference between an SPM and a general purpose machine?

A general purpose machine such as a lathe or milling machine can handle many different jobs but needs setup changes and skilled operation for each one. An SPM is built for a single component or process, so once it is set up it runs that job faster, more accurately and with less operator effort. SPMs suit mass production of the same part, while general purpose machines suit job shops and varied work.

What is a vertical turning lathe used for?

A vertical turning lathe, also called a VTL or vertical boring mill, machines large, heavy, round components on a horizontal rotating table with a vertical cutting head. Gravity holds the workpiece on the table, so it is ideal for valve bodies, rings, flanges, wheels, gear blanks and large housings in cast iron and stainless steel. It also takes up less floor space than a horizontal lathe of similar capacity.

What is the difference between a vertical turning lathe and a horizontal lathe?

On a horizontal lathe the workpiece is held between the chuck and tailstock, which works well for long shafts but makes large, heavy discs hard to load and support. On a vertical turning lathe the job rests flat on a rotating table. That makes loading easier, keeps the workpiece stable under its own weight and handles large diameters with better accuracy. VTLs are the preferred choice for short, wide and heavy components.

What is a horizontal milling boring machine?

A horizontal milling boring machine, often called an HBM, has a horizontal spindle that can mill, bore, drill and tap large, heavy workpieces such as gearbox housings, machine beds, pump casings and heavy fabrications. The spindle can extend into the job to bore deep, accurate holes, and multiple faces can often be machined in one setup. That makes it a key machine in heavy engineering workshops.

What is a vertical machining center (VMC)?

A vertical machining center is a CNC milling machine with a vertically oriented spindle and automatic, programme-controlled movement. It performs milling, drilling, boring, tapping and counterboring with tight tolerances and repeatable accuracy. VMCs are widely used for discs, plates, shells, dies, moulds and precision parts in automotive, aerospace and general engineering industries.

Which SPM and heavy machines does Yash Machine Tools supply?

Yash Machine Tools, based in Ahmedabad, supplies the WM Series vertical turning lathe, WM Series horizontal milling boring machine, WM Series vertical machining center and TC Series planing machine. It also designs special purpose machines to match each customer’s component and production requirement. The WM Series vertical machining center is available in six models with different table sizes and load capacities.

What is a planing machine used for?

A planing machine, or planer, machines large flat surfaces, slots and guideways on long, heavy workpieces. The table carrying the job moves back and forth under a fixed cutting tool. It is commonly used for machine beds, slideways, large plates and frames that are too long or heavy for a milling machine. It is valued in heavy engineering and maintenance work for producing accurate flat surfaces on big components.

How do I choose the right heavy machine for my workshop?

Start with the shape, size and weight of your largest components:

Vertical turning lathe: large round parts such as rings, flanges and valve bodies.
Horizontal milling boring machine: big housings and fabrications that need accurate bores and milling on several faces.
Vertical machining center: precise CNC milling of small to medium parts in repeat production.

Also check table size, load capacity, spindle power and the accuracy your parts require. For a single high volume component, a custom SPM may be the most economical choice.

Which industries use SPM and heavy machines?

SPM and heavy machines are used in heavy engineering, automotive and auto components, aerospace, valves and pumps, power generation, oil and gas equipment, railways, mining and steel plants. These industries machine large, heavy or high volume components where standard machines are too small, too slow or not accurate enough. Special purpose machines are also common in companies producing the same part in large quantities.

WM Series Vertical Turning Lathe

Vertical turning lathe equipment is conventional applied for making explicit components with comparatively large diameter. Some of the components that can be produced from Vertical Turning Lathe are valves, rings, etc. This device is certainly a cost effective option as when it comes to installation, it would not occupy much space and takes relatively little time in machining. It is the ideal machine option to handle work materials including heavy cast iron, stainless steel, etc.

SIGNIFICANT FEATURES OF WM SERIES VERTICAL TURNING LATHE

Yash Machine Tools offers WM series vertical turning lathe, an appropriate workshop tool suitable for aerospace and metal industries. The significant feature of vertical turning machine remains in loading the work piece properly with the help of capturing gravity. This equipment is designed with rough material and the hydro static guide way offers heavy load machining capacity. Above all, unlike other conventional lathes this equipment works with low noise.
