Every Vertical Turning Machine VL 5 is a manufacturing cell where loading and unloading of the workpieces is integrated. A circulating conveyor belt with carrier prisms, takes the workpieces to the pick-up station behind the machining area. At the front of the VL finish-machined components can be removed and raw-parts inserted when necessary.

On the Vertical turning machines VL 5, the guideways for the slides, the energy supply system, the turret housing and the pick-up station are all kept separate from the machining area. The vertical construction and the absence of telescopic covers guarantee ideal chip flow conditions.
