YAMA SEIKI GOODWAY GS-280 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The YAMA SEIKI GOODWAY GS-280 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling applications. It features a powerful main spindle capable of handling turning diameters up to 15.75" and turning lengths up to 21.02", with a maximum chuck diameter of 10" and a swing capacity of 26.37". The main spindle delivers 20 HP at speeds up to 3,500 RPM and supports bar diameters up to 2.95". A sub spindle enhances machining flexibility, running at 6,000 RPM with 10 HP. The machine is equipped with a turret tool carrier accommodating up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, with live rotary tooling providing 6 HP at speeds up to 4,000 RPM. It supports simultaneous use of one cutting tool and operates on a 3-axis system with travels of 9.05" on X-axis, 23.62" on Z-axis, and rapid traverse rates up to 788 inches per minute across all axes. The machine control is typically FANUC-based, ensuring precise and user-friendly operation. The GS-280’s robust design includes a built-in spindle-type tailstock for rigidity and load capacity, programmable quill extension, and adjustable thrust pressure, enabling complex and high-accuracy tasks. Coolant systems offer roll-out tanks and high-pressure pumps for effective tool cooling and maintenance ease. Overall, the GS-280 excels in heavy-duty, multi-functional CNC turning with live tooling capabilities, suitable for demanding industrial machining requirements in steel and other materials.
