New Products
GL Series Horizontal
Turning Center
—Romi
The machines are available in four models with maximum cutting
diameters ranging from 11" to 19.3" andZ-travelrangingfrom23.6" to 47.2".
Each is constructed with durable roller ways on all axes to produce high rigidity. A built-in spindle motor with a chiller incorporated and direct drive servo motors are designed to provide high response speed, accuracy, less vibration and lower maintenance requirements.
The GL Series comes standard with active thermal compensation to maintain consistent accuracy even as the machine temperature increases
over the course of extended use. The tailstock is programmable and servo- driven.
Position, speed and force are deter- mined directly via the FANUC control- ler that reduces set-up time.
Each model comes with a 12-station turret with a choice of fixed tools with a Romi disk, driven tools with a VDI or BMT disk, driven tools with Y-axis or dual spindle with driven tools and Y-axis.
The CNC control features a FANUC Oi-TF with 15" LCD touchscreen and FANUC 32iB with 19" LCD touch- screen for dual spindle version ma- chines and is the newest generation of FANUC's Series iHMI. It is designed to produce faster, more accurate per- formance for turning applications with separate areas on the main screen for
planning, machining, improvements and utilities. Functions are accessible with just two clicks. It comes standard with an ethernet interface, as well as a compact flash card and USB ports.
5-Axis HMC with Z-Type Fifth Axis
—Makino
Makino has announced the 5-axis a800Z, the newest addition to its family of high capability horizontal machining centers (HMCs). This ver- satile machine builds on the nx-series 4-axis HMCs, adding a factory built and fully integrated Z-type fifth axis.
