While simple in design, its production demands are anything but—high volumes, consistent quality, and cost efficiency are paramount. The Vertical Rotary Transfer Machine (Vertical Waterwheel Machine) delivers an ideal solution specifically tailored for DN20 gate valve body machining.
• Unlike complex multi-port valves requiring extensive station counts, the DN20 gate valve features:
• Symmetrical body design – Perfectly suited for vertical clamping and multi-sided machining
• Limited but repetitive operations – Drilling, tapping, sealing surface machining, and end facing
• High annual volumes – Typically hundreds of thousands to millions of pieces
• Non-ferrous materials – Brass, bronze, and cast iron common in gate valve production
Parameter | Typical Configuration |
Stations | 6 stations (1 load/unload + 5 machining) |
Spindles | 6-12 spindles depending on operation count |
Operations | Rough drilling, precision boring, threading, grooving, face milling, chamfering |
Spindle motors | 3-5 KW servo motors per station |
Clamping system | Synchronized hydraulic vises for consistent part holding |
1. Application: Suitable for processing within DN15- DN50 valvehousing and other tri-branch parts
2. Power head distribution: According to the definition of products
3. Gripper: Synchronous hydraulic vice.
4. Loading/unloading method: Manual loading/unloading. Robot or manipulator can be a plus.
5. Tool cooling system: Water cooling, spraying, gas injection andother cooling methods
6. Make the number of power head axles according to productfeatures.
