GROB SYSTEMS, INC. G550 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The GROB G550 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision, 5-axis CNC machine designed for complex milling tasks across diverse materials including aluminum, steel, and titanium. It features a robust 30.32" x 30.32" work table supporting up to 1,543 lbs of workpiece weight. The machine’s horizontal spindle is equipped with an HSK-A63 taper and delivers a maximum speed of 16,000 RPM powered by a 43 hp motor, ensuring efficient, stable cutting performance. Its axis travels provide substantial machining volume: 31.5" (X), 40.16" (Y), and 38.19" (Z), with rapid traverse and maximum feed rates reaching up to 2,560 inches per minute, facilitating high productivity. The G550’s 5-axis configuration includes three linear axes and two rotary axes, enabling 5-sided machining and simultaneous 5-axis interpolation with a large swivel range (up to 230° on the A-axis and 360° on the B-axis), critical for machining complex geometries without repositioning. A tool change chip time of 2.90 seconds optimizes tool change efficiency, and an optional pallet changer enhances automation. The machine supports Siemens or Heidenhain CNC controls for advanced programmability and user-friendly operation. Its compact design minimizes the distance between guides and the tool center point, ensuring exceptional rigidity and accuracy. The G550 is ideal for automotive, aerospace, and energy sectors requiring precise, durable, and efficient manufacturing solutions with the flexibility to handle parts of various sizes and complexities. Optional features include tilting rotary tables with pallet clamping systems for versatile workholding.
