ALZMETALL GS 1000/5-FDT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The ALZMETALL GS 1000/5-FDT Vertical Machining Center is a robust 5-axis CNC machine designed for high-precision milling and hybrid machining applications including drilling, milling, turning, and grinding in a single clamping setup. It features an extensive travel capacity of 31.5 inches (800 mm) in both X and Y axes and 23.6 inches (600 mm) in the Z axis, facilitating the machining of sizeable workpieces. The machine is powered by a 53.6 hp spindle capable of reaching up to 12,000 RPM, delivering high cutting performance and dynamic responsiveness. It is equipped with a 33-position automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling diverse tool use and efficient production cycles. The machine’s construction integrates grey cast iron and spheroidal graphite cast iron for optimal rigidity, thermal stability, and vibration damping. Its patented Box-in-Box gantry carriage system and fourfold linear guidance on the X-Y axes and Z-axis ensure exceptional accuracy and minimized deflection. The machine supports workpieces of up to 1000 kg, including the clamping device, supported by a 630 mm diameter rotary table with continuous 360° rotation (C-axis) and ±120° swivel (A-axis) axes with torque drives. Additional features include NC controls (Heidenhain TNC 640 standard), tool setting systems, camera monitoring, mist extraction, and high-pressure coolant circuits. This combination delivers precise contour accuracy at high feed rates, reduced tool wear, and enduring spindle life, making the GS 1000/5-FDT a versatile choice for demanding industrial machining tasks requiring superior rigidity, accuracy, and multi-axis flexibility.
