ALZMETALL GS 1400/5-FDT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The ALZMETALL GS 1400/5-FDT is a high-performance vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty precision machining with a robust grey cast iron and spheroidal graphite cast iron construction. It features a large working envelope with travel dimensions of 47.24 inches (X), 51.18 inches (Y), and 31.5 inches (Z), supporting complex 5-axis simultaneous machining. The machine integrates a patented box-in-box travel carriage system with fourfold linear guidance, providing exceptional rigidity, thermal stability, and minimized positional deviation during operations. The spindle is a powerful motor spindle delivering 110 hp with a maximum speed of 14,000 RPM, enabling high-speed cutting and finishing. The 33-position automatic tool changer (ATC) supports a variety of tooling options with rapid tool change times to maximize productivity. Rotary and swivel axes are driven by torque motors, offering precise 360° continuous rotation on the C-axis and ±140° swivel on the A-axis for intricate part geometries. The machine accommodates workpieces up to approximately 69,000 lbs, enabling machining of large, heavy components with enhanced stability. CNC control is typically managed by Siemens 840D sl or Heidenhain TNC 640 systems, providing advanced kinematic gauging, 3D touch probes, and options for multitasking including milling, turning, grinding, and drilling within a single setup. Additional features include multiple media coupling, coolant cleaning systems up to 80 bar, mist extraction units, and comprehensive service options such as remote diagnosis and training. The GS 1400/5-FDT balances high precision with heavy-duty capacity, ideal for complex aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing applications. Weight of the machine is approximately 69,000 lbs.
