CUBIC GTV-42 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The CUBIC GTV-42 is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for precision turning and milling operations on medium-sized workpieces. The machine features a single main spindle with dual operational capability, each rated at 6,000 RPM and 7.30 HP, enabling versatile machining configurations. The main spindle accommodates workpieces up to 12.000" in turning diameter with a maximum length of 7.000", utilizing a 6.000" chuck and accepting bar stock up to 1.650" in diameter. The tooling system employs a gang slide primary carrier supporting up to six turning tools and two rotary tools, with one tool actively cutting at any given time. The machine incorporates both on-center and off-center secondary milling and drilling functions as standard, expanding its operational capabilities beyond traditional turning. The three-axis CNC system provides 12.000" X-axis travel, 7.000" Z-axis travel, and proportional Y-axis movement, all delivering 800 ipm rapid traverse rates and 800 ipm maximum feed rates across all axes. This configuration allows for complex part geometry integration, combining turning operations with secondary drilling and milling without requiring secondary operations. The GTV-42's compact footprint and multi-function capability make it suitable for job shops and small-to-medium production environments requiring integrated turning and milling in a single setup, reducing cycle times and improving part accuracy through reduced part handling.
