Summary

The Starrag D rries CONTUMAT VC 4500 is a double column vertical lathe engineered for turning, milling, and grinding of large-scale components up to a 4,500 mm swing diameter. Its closed portal cast iron construction provides high intrinsic rigidity, vibration damping, and dimensional stability, supporting both powerful turning and complex multi-process machining. A modular tool magazine, hydrostatic-guided crossrail, and maximum table load of 350,000 kg enable adaptation to a wide range of heavy-duty applications.
