VMC – VITOSHA Gantry Series
Gantry platform for wide spans and tall envelopes. Open access and consistent reach across wide surfaces simplify loading and multi-station setups, while smooth motion and 30 m/min rapids help preserve accuracy and cycle efficiency on large plates, frames, and weldments.
- Wide-span capability for tall or multi-station setups
- Clear access that speeds loading and fixturing
- Smooth motion and 30 m/min rapids for efficient long moves

Overview
Gantry-Type Moving Column Machining Platform
The VMC series is a wide-span gantry platform designed for large plates, frames, weldments, and tall structures requiring open access and consistent reach across wide surfaces. Its moving-column layout enhances accessibility, simplifies fixturing, and supports multi-station production setups.
With large axis capacities (X 4–25 m, Y 3–6 m, Z 1.5–1.75 m) and 30 m/min rapids, VMC maintains smooth, composed motion across long strokes. The BIG-PLUS ISO50 spindle (47 kW, 976 Nm) provides high torque for roughing and sufficient speed for finishing.

Applications
General machining
Mixed prototype and production work across sizes; flexible envelopes and quick changeovers speed setups, reduce handling, and keep output consistent day to day.
Capital goods
Industrial equipment components from plates and frames to precision shafts and housings; scalable platforms and stable processes preserve accuracy over long runs.
Automotive
Tooling and production parts across the supply chain, from fixtures and dies to turned and milled components; repeatable referencing supports surface quality and tight tolerances.
Energy
Pump and valve components, compressor parts, and auxiliary housings; controlled cutting and chip/coolant management help protect tolerances, surface finish, and tool life.
Oil & Gas
Valve bodies, manifolds, housings, and high-integrity flanges; robust machining strategies and chip/coolant control help maintain tolerances in demanding alloys.
Wind energy
Drivetrain and auxiliary components including hubs, seats, flanges, and structural parts; rigid setups and stable processes sustain accuracy, finish, and tool life across long runs.
Railway
Frames, brackets, axlebox housings, and brake components; rigid machining and effective chip evacuation keep geometry and flatness consistent on large parts.
