Vertical Turret Lathes

KNUTH vertical lathes combine heavy-duty performance with strong service support. Machines are built in-house or sourced from long-term partners in regions like Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey, ensuring quality and consistency. Customers also benefit from our responsive technical team and strong price-to-performance value.

Vertical lathes are ideal for large-diameter workpieces that are short in length, especially parts that are heavy or asymmetrical. The vertical orientation helps stabilize the part using gravity. Horizontal lathes, on the other hand, are better for long, narrow parts and general-purpose turning.

These machines are widely used in power generation, pump and valve repair, aerospace, and heavy equipment manufacturing. Their ability to handle large castings and complex shapes makes them well-suited for maintenance and component machining in those sectors.

KNUTH vertical turret lathes come in various table diameters and load capacities. Models are available to accommodate everything from smaller industrial parts to multi-ton components. Refer to individual product specs for detailed capabilities.
