Extreme Accuracy: The GTV maintains positioning accuracy of 0.00005”, even at maximum traverse speeds, due to high-quality components like NSK ballscrews, P4-class bearings, and a Meehanite casting base. This precision ensures consistent results, essential for demanding machining applications.
Blistering Speed: With rapids of 787 inches per minute and a spindle acceleration of 0 to 6000 RPM in 0.5 seconds, the GTV reduces cycle times, making production faster and more efficient.
Vertical Design: The vertical plate design allows chips and coolant to fall away from the cutting area, improving part visibility, tool access, and cooling efficiency. The compact design also enhances ergonomics.
Control Systems: Both FANUC 0i-TF and FAGOR 8055iTB controls offer reliability, speed, and ease of use, with options for G-code programming and conversational programming. Cubic provides integration support for automation and custom user interfaces.
Gang-Tool Advantage: Gang-tool setups offer better rigidity, precision, and faster tool changes than turret-based systems. Live tools with speeds up to 60,000 RPM are available, enhancing versatility for various machining operations.
Work Holding: GTV supports a wide range of workholding options, from 5C and 16C collet systems to 3-jaw chucks. Hydraulic actuation provides a stronger grip, suitable for heavy-duty cuts, while dead-length chucks eliminate part movement during clamping.
