Fryer Machine Systems’ VT Series turning centers are compact, large-swing vertical turret lathes available in 40", 60" or 80" swing sizes. The VT Series feature milling and turning in a traveling column design that reduces the machine’s footprint. The specialized horizontal turret is also designed with enough clearance for both long and short tools alike. The VT Series can be configured with turning, milling, boring and grinding in a single machine.

The FANUC- or Siemens-based CNC is designed for shopfloor programming for single-piece runs and G-code programming is available for high production. Regenerative drives are also standard and reportedly engineered to save up to 40% electricity.

Fryer machines are built in the U.S. for high-performance cutting, accuracy, reliability and ease of use. According to the company, its VT Series compact large swing VTL’s are designed for shops that need a compact design that minimizes floor space without compromising on quality.
