Modern Applications News • August, 2008 • TURNING CENTERS

The GS 200 MSY and GS 250 MSY Performance multitasking turning centers offer expanded levels of functionality to address complex parts resulting in increased throughput and reduced cycle time in a single setup, according to the manufacturer. The multi-axis machines include dual-wound spindle motors featuring 30 hp on the main spindle and 20 hp on the subspindle, 10 hp live tooling with C-axis, Y-axis, and spindle orient as standard equipment for complex multi-tasking operations. Both the main and subspindles feature wrap-around high-torque motors for thermal stability. An oil jacket around both main and subspindles maintains temperature control through the use of a chiller unit. The machines feature a 30[degrees] one-piece case iron slant-bed base, heavy-duty linear roller guideways, and heavy-duty fixed pretensioned double-nut ball screws. Other standard features include: spindle speeds up to 4,500 rpm, spindle torque up to 518 ft-lb, 8" or 10" 3-jaw chuck, bar capacity up to 3.07", 12-station universal VDI 40 top plate, 50 psi through-tool and headwall coolant, chip conveyor interface, and a swing-out Fanuc 18i control with Manual Guide shop floor programming.
