GROB G500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The GROB G500 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 5-axis CNC machine optimized for high-precision, flexible series production, especially in automotive component manufacturing. It features an X-axis travel of 31.5 inches, Y-axis travel of 33.07 inches, and Z-axis travel of 34.06 inches, providing substantial working volume. The spindle delivers 39 horsepower with a maximum speed of 1200 RPM and an HSK-A63 taper, capable of producing a maximum torque of 25.52 ft-lb, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine incorporates an 87-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) for efficient machining cycles. The B-axis rotates a full 360° with a fine resolution of 0.001°, supported by a 27-inch table diameter, while the A-axis ranges from -30° to +210°, enabling complex multi-axis operations. Axis feed rates are 2.56 in/min for X, 2.17 in/min for Y, and 2.36 in/min for Z, facilitating smooth and precise tool movements. Control is driven by the Siemens Sinumerik 840D CNC system, renowned for its reliability and advanced machining capabilities. The G500 benefits from a horizontal spindle position ensuring optimized chip evacuation and heat dissipation during machining. Its modular design and powerful rotary tables with torque motor technology enhance rigidity, dynamics, and compactness, making it ideal for machining aluminum alloys and complex frame structures with uninterrupted operations. The machine supports fast tool changeover and is highly configurable to meet diverse manufacturing requirements, including optional pallet changers and loading systems. Overall, the GROB G500 represents a high-quality, flexible machining solution for demanding industrial applications.
