Three-turret Index G200 turn-mill centre can slash cycle time by 30%

The second generation Index G200 turn-mill centre is now available through Geo Kingsbury. The distance between centres is up from 400 to 660 mm, a second tool carrier has been added below the spindle centreline, reducing cycle times by 30%, and the speed of the B-axis milling spindle has been increased from 2,000 to 7,200 rpm. The G200 three-turret lathe is aimed at the complete machining of bar stock up to 65 mm diameter and chuck parts up to 165 mm diameter.

The machine’s two lower turrets are arranged in mirror image, each having a ±45 mm Y axis. They contain 14 tool stations, all of which can be equipped with live tools. The upper tool carrier deploys a 14-station turret and an integrated, HSK-A40 milling spindle. It has ±65 mm of Y-axis movement and a 360° swivelling B axis.
