YAMA SEIKI GLS-2000 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This is a mid-range CNC lathe equipped with a Fanuc 0i-TD control system, designed for precision turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 16.9 inches in maximum turning diameter and 13.0 inches in maximum turning length, with a maximum bar capacity of 2.56 inches, making it suitable for both small-to-medium production runs and specialized turning applications. The swing over bed of 22.05 inches and distance between centers of 22.6 inches provide adequate clearance for standard-length tooling without mechanical interference. The X and Z axis travels of 9.1 and 13.2 inches respectively, coupled with rapid traverse rates of 945 IPM and 1,181 IPM, enable efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. The 20 horsepower spindle motor operating at a maximum 4,200 RPM delivers sufficient torque and power for machining castings, forgings, and general turning operations on medium-diameter parts. The A2-8 spindle nose and 2.99-inch spindle bore accommodate standard tooling configurations. The 10-station turret with 0.15-second index time facilitates rapid tool changes, minimizing setup time and improving productivity. The MT-4 tailstock with 5.94 inches of quill travel supports extended workpiece machining. With a 25 kVA, 220V three-phase power requirement and weighing 7,000 pounds, this machine represents a capable mid-production lathe suitable for job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring consistent precision and repeatability.
