ROMI GL 240 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The ROMI GL 240 is a versatile CNC turning center engineered for medium to high-volume production environments. This horizontal lathe features a robust design with a 6-inch chuck accommodating workpieces up to 11.81 inches in maximum turning diameter and 15.75 inches in turning length. The machine incorporates a powerful 20 HP main spindle capable of reaching 6,000 RPM, with an optional 4,500 RPM configuration for heavy-duty operations. Its maximum bar capacity of 2 inches enables efficient bar feeding for automated production runs. Equipped with a 12-station servo-driven turret and hydraulic locking mechanism, the GL 240 delivers rapid tool indexing for reduced cycle times. The machine supports both fixed and driven tools, with the driven tool spindle operating at 6,000 RPM and 7.5 HP, enabling simultaneous turning and milling operations on a single setup. Featuring a monoblock base design, the machine minimizes vibration and thermal distortion, contributing to superior surface finishing and dimensional accuracy. The 2-axis configuration (X and Z) provides rapid traverse rates of 1,181 inches per minute on both axes, ensuring fast positioning between operations. Advanced CNC control via Fanuc 0i-TF Plus i-HMI facilitates intuitive programming with features including circular interpolation, tool radius compensation, and constant surface speed control. Optional bar feeder and automation systems enhance productivity for repetitive applications. The machine's thermal compensation system and high-resolution encoder on the C-axis (optional) deliver extreme precision in angular positioning for complex machining tasks.
