’ G550T five-axis mill-turn universal machining center is designed to offer maximum stability and excellent maintainability, all while providing positioning flexibility due to the axes’ large swivel range (230 degrees in the A-axis and 360 degrees in the B-axes). A horizontal spindle position permits a long Z-travel path and optimum chip fall.
The machine features an arrangement of the three linear axes which minimizes the distance between the guides and the machining point (TCP), providing stability in part production.
The company says a tunnel concept permits a large component (even in the case of extremely long tools) to be swiveled and machined within the work area without collision. The three linear and two rotary axes enable five-sided machining and five-axis simultaneous interpolation, as well as Grob Traori turning for precise cutting control.
