VDF Boehringer spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of VDF Boehringer lathe spindles — a German manufacturer renowned for the robustness of its conventional and CNC lathes of medium to large capacity.
VDF Boehringer, German robustness for medium to large capacity turning
TLDR: VDF Boehringer (Germany) is renowned for the robust design and mechanical reliability of its lathes, combining traditional know-how with modern control technology for high precision, fast cycle times and consistent repeatability in medium to high volume production.
VDF Boehringer lathes, whether conventional or CNC, are recognised for their robust design and mechanical reliability. The CNC lathes in the range, notably the VDF and DUS series, combine this traditional robustness with modern control technology, featuring CNC controls with advanced programming functions, automatic tool changers and integrated bar feeding. Used in precision mechanics as well as heavy-duty machining, these machines are suited to complex contours and series production, with high machining capacities and reduced setup times.
A range of robust spindles for machining heavy chuck parts
TLDR: VDF Boehringer lathes feature main spindles with A2-15 or DIN 55027 noses, with bores of up to 132 mm and power outputs of up to 72 kW, combined with VDI 50 turrets on the heaviest configurations.
VDF Boehringer lathes in the VDF 400 CM series stand out with a main spindle with an A2-15 nose, a 132 mm bore, power outputs of up to 72 kW and two speed ranges (for example 7-700 and 700-2,000 rpm), combined with VDI 50 turrets on twin-turret configurations. On precision models such as the DUE series, the spindle has a DIN 55027 nose, with a 100 mm spindle diameter and around 11 kW of power for a maximum torque of 2,000 Nm. Large-capacity conventional lathes, such as the V 800 series, offer a speed range optimised for efficient turning with high-speed steel and carbide tools.
