More power, more machine mass, and more capacity for machining large work-pieces with precision
About Momentum
MOMENTUM manufactures heavy-duty CNC turning solutions for machining large, heavy, and demanding workpieces across a range of industries. The company's portfolio includes both vertical and horizontal turning platforms engineered for aggressive cutting, high metal removal rates, and long-term reliability in demanding production environments.
The VTL Series features ram-type vertical turning lathes designed for large-diameter and heavy-weight components. Built around MOMENTUM's unique full-wrap, arc-shaped column design, these machines deliver exceptional rigidity and stability for heavy-duty turning applications. Configurations range from turning-only models to machines equipped with C-axis and live tooling capabilities for contour milling and secondary machining operations.
The Flat-Bed Lathe Series provides a robust horizontal turning platform for shafts, rolls, and other cylindrical workpieces requiring heavy metal removal. Designed with a focus on power, rigidity, and accuracy, these machines are well suited for roughing and finishing large components in demanding manufacturing environments.

Flat Bed Lathes
Momentum MLC/MLD/MFA
Momentum - CNC Takang have partnered to build the all-new MLC Series of heavy-duty flatbed lathes. These heavy-duty lathes feature a beefy cast iron base with hardened and ground ways and a powerful 60 hp spindle to take deep cuts on large cylindrical workpieces.
Momentum MVL Opens Up Capacity at Highland Manufacturing!
Christian Queen, President and owner of Highland Manufacturing, based in Manchester CT, discusses the move from a Bullard manual VTL to a fully enclosed CNC lathe that operates more like a modern machining center. The Momentum MVL-10HD is a CNC operated vertical turning lathe featuring a full enclosure that contains large chips and coolant for a safer shop floor, combined with a full wrap cast iron base that provides the rigidity to take deep cuts.
"We've put the Momentum to the test and it has not let us down," States Queen, “When we need to hog material, we can hog material. When we tell it to move an inch, it move an inch”
