KNUTH ROTURN 400 GT HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The KNUTH Roturn 400 GT is a high-performance CNC inclined bed lathe designed for precision and productivity in demanding machining environments. Featuring a robust horizontal spindle configuration, it delivers a maximum turning diameter of 16.000" (400 mm) and a maximum workpiece length of 15.000" (380 mm), making it suitable for a wide range of part sizes. The main spindle achieves speeds up to 5,000 RPM, powered by a 10 HP (7.5 kW) main drive motor, with an optional 7 HP (5.5 kW) setting for optimized performance under varying loads. The machine is equipped with a linear tool changer for rapid, reliable tool changes, supporting efficient series production of smaller workpieces. Driven tools operate at speeds up to 7,500 RPM, enhancing versatility for complex machining tasks. Axis travel is generous, with the Z-axis offering 16.000" (400 mm) of movement, complemented by 460 mm of X-axis travel for comprehensive part access. The spindle mount is A2-5, with a spindle bore of 46 mm (2") and a draw tube bore of 36 mm (1.4"). Precision linear guides and high-dynamic servo motors ensure accurate, repeatable positioning and smooth operation. The machine is controlled by the advanced Siemens Sinumerik 828 D Basic CNC system, providing intuitive programming and cycle management for both batch and single-part production. Standard features include a hydraulic 6-inch 3-jaw chuck, automatic central lubrication, chip conveyor, coolant system, and enclosed work area for operator safety. With overall dimensions of 77" x 60" x 69" (1.95 m x 1.5 m x 1.75 m) and a weight of 5,500 lbs (2,500 kg), the Roturn 400 GT combines rigidity, accuracy, and ease of use for demanding industrial applications.
