Twin-spindle turn-mill center

The G420 turn-mill center features identical 3,500rpm twin spindles with 315mm (400mm optional) chucks and a 5-axis milling spindle that provides up to 12,000rpm with an HSK-T63 interface or 18,000rpm with a Capto C6 interface. The machine’s stability and high dynamic response make it suitable for working with difficult-to-machine materials, especially for completing large, complex parts in a single setup.

The main and counter spindles accommodate bar stock up to 102mm diameter, while the work area provides space for part lengths up to 1,600mm. An optional workpiece handling system can load, unload, and transfer parts up to 20kg and 120mm diameter.

The milling spindle offers 26kW, 150N·m, and 12,000rpm with an HSK-t63 interface or 27.5kW, 100N·m and 18,000rpm for the Capto C6 option. Optimized Y/B quill kinematics allow simultaneous 5-axis milling operations to tackle complex geometries.

The unit can accommodate up to three tool carriers in its workspace, each equipped with a Y-axis. Turret steady rests are available for maximum stability when machining long or shaft-shaped parts.

Ergonomic design optimizes accessibility to operating and maintenance personnel. A chip conveyor can be mounted on either side of the machine, and automation solutions, including conveyor belts and robot handling units, can be integrated.

The iXpanel operating system is Industry 4.0 ready, offering a direct connection between the machine control and the company operations department.
