Vertical Turning (Carousel Turning)
Vertical turning for large diameters and heavy blanks with limited height. The vertical spindle delivers stable clamping, predictable runout, and efficient chip evacuation—ideal for flanges, rings, wheels, and housings. UFAB’s capacity reaches Ø 2.8 × 1.6 m.
Three key advantages
The right method for big diameters
Vertical lathes are built to machine meter-scale components efficiently. The method delivers concentricity and roundness even on heavy workpieces—especially when diameter dominates length.
Rigid workholding and consistent finish
Vertical layout reduces deflection and yields more even finishes on heavy parts. Stable chip transport improves tool life and surface structure, lowering variation between runs.
Industries that need size and precision
Wind power, turbines, and rail components drive the need for large turned diameters. The method suits energy equipment and large industrial housings, and integrates naturally with follow-on milling and inspection plans.

Our Machining Methods
Milling
We mill machine components with both standard and freeform geometries at high precision. You get tight tolerances and consistent surface finish across aluminium, steels, and superalloys—from one-offs to series.
Turning
We turn shafts, rings and bushings with high roundness and low runout. With live tooling and a Y-axis, we add milled features in the same setup to cut lead time and cost.
Horizontal Boring
We enlarge and finish bores and mating faces in medium-to-large components. Long-reach tooling and probing keep position, straightness and flatness over distance.
Bed Milling
For long or heavy workpieces, bed-type milling provides the rigidity and travels required. You get straightness, parallelism and flatness in frames, bases and welded structures.
