Multi-task turning centers with increased throughout
and reduced cycle time.
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. Hardinge, Inc., Elmira, NY
