Machining Centers
Among the pioneers of multi-spindle technology
Platforms readily customized to meet specific customer requirements
Vigel platforms include high speed horizontal and vertical multi-spindle machining centers. Different machine sizes allow to approach a wide range of workpieces in terms of dimensions and materials.
Different spindle’s configurations from 2 up to 4, independent Z axes option, 4th & 5th axes capability, twin table or single table version, integrated automation, are some of the features that enable Vigel to define the right solution in terms of productivity, precision and reliability on each program.

Cycle time: –45% vs. single-spindle Machines
Progressive investment: Scalable expenditure based on actual volume requirements
Flexible design: easy to retool and relocate to adapt to ongoing changes in the production market
Machine's Structure
Thanks to the box-in-box modular structure design, Vigel platforms provide robustness and accuracy at extremely high operating speeds, making them ideal for both light and heavy executions. Vigel platforms can be equipped with ball screw motions or linear motors for non-ferrous applications.
All auxiliaries are integrated in the machine, allowing fast installations and easy relocations. All maintenance areas offer optimum accessibility and are ergonomically designed. All our platforms are designed to minimize the footprint and have higher productivity per sqm, thanks also to the multi-spindle technology.
Multi-Spindle Technology
Vigel multi-spindle technologies are synonymous with lower investment cost per part and higher productivity. Vigel platforms can be equipped with 2 up to 4 spindles based on production requirements. At identical production levels, multi-spindle machining centers require significantly less space than a comparable number of single-spindle machining centers, shorter production time, less energy consumption, and lower automation investment.
Vigel designs and builds its own spindles since decades, keeping control on a key item of our technology. Both motor-spindles and electro-spindles, as well as different configurations in terms of power and speed, are available.
Twin/Single Table
Vigel platforms can be equipped with Single Table or Twin Table configuration. The twin table configuration enables the loading of the next workpieces while the previous parts are being machined. Besides the 0/180° pallet changer dedicated only to the twin table machine, all the platforms can be equipped with 4th and 5th axis options. The 4th and 5th axis options allow finishing the part in one maximum two clamping positions, improving workpiece quality and machine productivity.
Tool Change / Tool Magazine
All Vigel machining centers are equipped with a drum-type magazine, designed and built by Vigel. The drum concept is extremely fast, precise, and reliable. Different configurations allow meeting various needs in terms of capacity while maintaining the same modular structure. All Vigel platforms use an extremely fast direct tool change.
Environmentally Compatible Products
Vigel recognizes the importance of the environment. Today, technology must incorporate a deep awareness of environmental concerns. Following this path, Vigel keeps investing in making its products environmentally compatible. Our multi-spindle technology alone reduces energy costs by over 35% at equal production levels compared with single spindle machines.
