OMNITURN GT-JR CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The OmniTurn GT-Jr is a compact, entry-level CNC turning center engineered for precision small parts production and prototyping applications. Featuring a single main spindle capable of 5,000 RPM with 2 HP motor output, this machine accommodates bar stock up to 1.060" in diameter with a maximum turning length of 9.000". The spindle delivers a 2.000" maximum swing, enabling efficient workpiece clearance. The two-axis design incorporates 10" standard X-axis travel (expandable to 12") and 9" Z-axis travel, with rapid traverse rates reaching 450 IPM across all axes for enhanced productivity. The gang-tool slide configuration supports single simultaneous cutting operations with precise 0.040" index increments, optimizing tool positioning for consistent accuracy. The machine utilizes a slant-bed design for efficient chip evacuation and fast tool changes, characteristic of OmniTurn's gang-tooling approach. With closed-loop servo motor control and highest-quality ground ball-screws, the GT-Jr delivers reliable repeatability ideal for batch production environments. The system is PC-based with OmniTurn CNC control featuring two-axis programming capability, collet drawbar control, and integrated flood coolant system. Weighing approximately 2,000 lbs with compact dimensions of 58"L x 36"W x 76"H, this cost-effective turning center represents an affordable entry point into precision CNC machining, particularly suited for small workshops and job shops requiring versatile small-diameter turning capabilities.
