YAMA SEIKI GOODWAY GLS-1500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Yama Seiki Goodway GLS-1500 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-speed CNC turning center engineered for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. Featuring a robust 30° slant-bed design, the machine delivers superior rigidity and smooth chip disposal, supporting a maximum main spindle turning diameter of 16.930" and a turning length of 12.990". The main spindle, equipped with a 6" chuck and a maximum bar capacity of 1.770", operates at up to 6,000 RPM with 15 HP output, ensuring high-performance turning for a wide range of workpieces. The GLS-1500 also incorporates a sub-spindle with 6,000 RPM and 7.5 HP, enabling back-end machining and increased productivity. The primary tool carrier is a turret, supporting up to 12 turning tools and 6 rotary tools, with rotary tool power rated at 3.6 HP and speeds up to 4,000 RPM for milling and drilling operations. The machine offers 2-axis control, with X-axis travel of 8.460" and Z-axis travel of 20.470", and rapid traverse rates of 945 IPM on all axes for fast positioning. Linear guide ways ensure precise movement and long-term durability. Optional live tooling, Y-axis, and sub-spindle configurations allow for simultaneous turning, milling, and drilling, making the GLS-1500 a versatile solution for complex, high-value parts.
