GIDDINGS-LEWIS RAM630 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Giddings & Lewis RAM 630 is a precision CNC horizontal machining center engineered for high-volume production and complex part manufacturing. Featuring a robust 4-axis configuration with G&L Numeripath 8000H CNC control, this machine delivers exceptional productivity and accuracy. The spindle operates across a 10–7,000 RPM range with a #50 taper and 38.2/30.8 HP motor, enabling versatile machining capabilities across diverse materials and applications. Machine travel dimensions span 35.4" (X-axis), 31.5" (Y-axis), and 29.5" (Z-axis), accommodating workpieces up to 31.5" diameter and 37.4" height with maximum pallet loads of 2,640 lbs. The integrated 120-tool automatic tool changer with rapid 3.5-second tool-to-tool change times and 7-second carousel-to-carousel transitions ensures minimal downtime. Rapid traverse rates reach 2,362 IPM across all axes, maximizing cycle efficiency. The dual-pallet system features 24.8" square pallets with 0.001-degree indexing precision and an exceptional 16-second pallet change time, enabling seamless workflow continuity. Additional features include through-spindle coolant capability (250/800 psi dual pressure), in-process gauging with Renishaw touch probe, and automatic tool length measurement. The machine measures 189" × 106.3" × 136" and weighs 40,000 lbs., representing substantial production-grade equipment designed for demanding manufacturing environments requiring precision, speed, and reliability.
