GROB SYSTEMS, INC. G550T HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The GROB Systems G550T Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision 5-axis mill-turn machine designed for versatile and complex part machining. It features a horizontal spindle with an HSK-A63/T63 taper capable of up to 10,000 RPM, enabling optimum chip evacuation and maximum Z-axis travel of 38.19 inches. The machine encompasses three linear axes (X: 31.5", Y: 40.16", Z: 38.19") with rapid traverse rates up to 2,559 IPM and two rotary axes integrated into the standard rotary table, providing continuous 360° B-axis rotation and swivel capability in the A-axis (up to 230°), allowing 5-sided and simultaneous 5-axis interpolation. Its table supports workpieces up to 1,323 lbs with a size of 30.31" x 30.31", equipped with a torque-driven rotary capability ideal for both milling and turning operations. The tool change chip time is 2.9 seconds, optimizing cycle time, and the pallet changer is available as an option for enhanced productivity. The machine’s robust design incorporates linear glass scales on all axes for precise positioning (accuracy within 0.006 inches), and its compact footprint offers excellent front and side access for loading and unloading parts. The G550T’s combination of high-speed spindle dynamics, flexible axis movement, and stable workpiece support makes it suitable for complex components requiring milling, turning, and multi-axis machining in a single setup, improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing setup times.
