GROMAX GLA-1700 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The GROMAX GLA-1700 is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling operations on mid-sized workpieces. Featuring a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 11 inches and turning length capacity of 65 inches, this machine accommodates an 8-inch chuck diameter with a maximum swing of 17 inches. The spindle operates at 2,000 RPM with 7.5 horsepower, delivering consistent torque for heavy-duty cutting applications. The machine utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier configuration, enabling single-tool simultaneous cutting operations. With two axes of programmable motion and a Z-axis travel range of 43 inches, the GLA-1700 provides adequate stroke capability for complex part geometries. This entry-level horizontal machining center is well-suited for job shops and small to medium manufacturers requiring reliable production of cylindrical and prismatic components without the complexity of multi-spindle or high-speed systems. The robust construction and straightforward control interface make it accessible for diverse manufacturing applications including prototype development, short-run production, and maintenance machining tasks.
