ALZMETALL GS 1400/5-T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The ALZMETALL GS 1400/5-T is a high-performance vertical machining center designed for demanding 5-axis applications. Featuring a robust gantry structure built from grey cast iron and spheroidal graphite cast iron, the machine delivers exceptional rigidity and stability for precision machining. The travel ranges are 47.24 inches (1,200 mm) on the X-axis, 51.18 inches (1,300 mm) on the Y-axis, and 31.50 inches (800 mm) on the Z-axis, accommodating large and complex workpieces. The spindle operates at up to 14,000 RPM with a powerful 110.23 hp (82 kW) motor, supporting high-speed milling and versatile hybrid machining tasks such as drilling, milling, turning, and grinding—all within a single clamping setup. The machine is equipped with a patented Box-in-Box travel system and 4-fold linear guidance for smooth, accurate movement, while the integrated torque drives on the swivel (A-axis) and rotary (C-axis) tables enable dynamic 5-axis positioning. The GS 1400/5-T supports a maximum workpiece weight of up to 3,000 kg, including fixtures, and features advanced CNC controls such as Heidenhain TNC 640 or Siemens SINUMERIK 840 D sl for seamless operation. Additional options include high-pressure cooling systems, tool magazines (up to 250 positions), 3D touch probes, and remote diagnostics. The machine weighs approximately 69,000 lbs (31,300 kg), underscoring its heavy-duty construction and suitability for industrial environments requiring high throughput and accuracy.
