GILDEMEISTER MF SPRINT 42 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This advanced CNC turning center delivers high-performance precision machining with a 4-axis configuration, supporting complex turning, milling, drilling, and tapping operations. Designed for versatility and efficiency, it features a maximum bar capacity of 1.654 inches (42 mm) and a turning diameter of 4.921 inches (125 mm), accommodating a wide range of workpiece sizes. The machining length reaches up to 11.024 inches (280 mm), making it suitable for both short and medium-length components. Equipped with a powerful 28.8 HP (21.5 kW) spindle, the machine ensures robust cutting performance and high material removal rates, ideal for demanding production environments. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 6,300 RPM, enabling rapid and precise machining of various materials, including steel, aluminum, and exotic alloys. The CNC control system is powered by the Siemens SINUMERIK 840C, providing intuitive programming, advanced diagnostics, and seamless integration with modern manufacturing workflows. This control platform supports multi-axis synchronization, live tooling, and automated tool change functions, enhancing productivity and part complexity. The machine’s rigid construction and precision linear guides ensure excellent stability, accuracy, and surface finish, while the compact footprint optimizes shop floor space utilization. With its combination of high power, speed, and advanced control, this turning center is well-suited for high-mix, low-volume production as well as high-volume manufacturing applications requiring tight tolerances and repeatable quality.
