HAIDI Machine Concludes a Successful CCMT 2026 Shanghai with Strong Interest in VSL250CXM‑020K Vertical Turning‑Milling‑Grinding Center

The CCMT 2026 exhibition in Shanghai has officially concluded, with HAIDI Machine receiving highly positive feedback on its VSL250CXM‑020K double column vertical turning‑milling‑grinding center. Attendees from mold, energy, heavy machinery, and general engineering sectors showed strong interest in the machine’s ability to combine turning, milling, drilling and grinding on one platform, handling workpieces up to 2,500 mm diameter and 16 tons. The VSL250CXM‑020K, equipped with Siemens 828D control, hydrostatic guideways, and ±25° swiveling rams, stood out as a cost‑effective alternative to single‑purpose European or Japanese machines.


A successful show for HAIDI Machine

The CCMT 2026 (China CNC Machine Tool Exhibition) held in Shanghai has just wrapped up, and HAIDI Machine is pleased to report a highly successful event. Over the exhibition days, the company’s booth attracted a steady stream of domestic and international visitors, many of whom came specifically to see the VSL250CXM‑020K double column vertical turning‑milling‑grinding center in operation. The machine, displayed with live cutting demonstrations on a typical large flange component, generated substantial interest from manufacturers in wind power, heavy hydraulics, gearbox production, and general large‑part machining.

What made the VSL250CXM‑020K a showstopper

Visitors to the booth repeatedly highlighted several key features that set this machine apart from traditional vertical lathes or separate milling/grinding setups:

  • True multi‑process integration – The right ram carries a 15 kW electro‑spindle (BT50, up to 2,500 r/min) for turning, milling, drilling and rigid tapping; the left ram houses a 22 kW hydrostatic grinding spindle (HSK63, up to 4,000 r/min). Both rams can be used independently or in sequence, allowing rough turning, finish milling, and final grinding in one clamping.

  • Heavy‑duty cutting capability – With a worktable torque of 42 kN·m and a maximum workpiece weight of 16 tons, the machine handles demanding materials such as forged steel, cast iron, and stainless steel with ease. The two‑servo table drive system provides smooth low‑speed operation for large‑diameter parts.

  • Hydrostatic technology on all critical axes – The worktable, X axis and Z axis all use constant‑flow hydrostatic guideways. This eliminates stick‑slip, absorbs heavy‑cutting vibration, and ensures long‑term accuracy without wear. The oil film monitoring system adds an extra layer of safety.

  • Automatic ram swiveling (±25°) – Both rams can be indexed within ±25° under CNC control, enabling efficient machining of conical surfaces, tapered bores, and complex contours without special angle attachments.

  • Cost‑effective positioning – Many visitors specifically remarked that the VSL250CXM‑020K offers specifications comparable to mid‑range European and Japanese machines, but at a significantly lower investment cost. This makes it an attractive option for job shops and OEMs that need large‑part processing capability without overstretching their budgets.

Technical parameters that convinced the crowd

The exhibition allowed potential buyers to review the machine’s full specification sheet in detail. Key numbers that drew positive comments included:

  • Maximum turning diameter: 2,500 mm / maximum swing: 2,650 mm

  • Maximum machining height: 2,000 mm

  • Worktable diameter: 2,250 mm

  • Worktable speed range (turning): 0.5 – 120 r/min

  • C‑axis (indexing/milling/grinding feed): 0.02 – 5 r/min

  • X‑axis travel: -100 to 2,350 mm / Z‑axis travel: 1,200 mm

  • Positioning accuracy (X/Z): 0.03 mm per 1,000 mm / repeatability 0.015 mm

  • C‑axis positioning accuracy: 8 arc‑seconds / repeatability 5 arc‑seconds

  • Machined surface finish: turning Ra 1.6 μm, grinding Ra 0.8 μm

Live demonstrations and audience feedback

During the live cutting demonstration on a 1.2‑meter diameter ring flange, the VSL250CXM‑020K completed a sequence of rough turning of the outer diameter, milling of six locating slots, drilling of a bolt hole circle, and finish grinding of the sealing face – all in a single setup without relocating the part. The total processing time was approximately 35% shorter than what would be required using separate machines. Attendees from the energy and heavy transport sectors noted that this integration directly reduces handling errors, floor space, and labor costs.

Post‑show momentum

Following the successful exhibition, HAIDI Machine has already received multiple inquiries and several orders for the VSL250CXM‑020K. The company’s technical team is now working with prospective customers to validate process plans for specific part families, including wind turbine yaw rings, large valve bodies, gear blanks, and mining drum flanges. Standard delivery includes on‑site installation, operator training, and a one‑year warranty.

Still available for order

For manufacturers who missed the Shanghai show, the VSL250CXM‑020K remains available for order. HAIDI Machine offers remote process evaluation, budget quotations, and factory acceptance test visits. The machine is built to order with a lead time consistent with industry standards for this class of equipment.
