Universal cost-cutting lathes offer CNC choice

Range of universal CNC production lathes offer reduction in non-cutting times of up to 25%, higher productivity and a choice of three of the latest CNC systems - Siemens, Heidenhain or Fanuc.
The world premieres CTX 410 and CTX 510 in a new design round off the successful CTX 10 Series of universal lathes and set new standards in universal turning. Compared with competitive products they offer a bargain price worldwide for a technology of the future. With the world premieres CTX 410 und CTX 510 the CTX 10 Series now shines forth over the complete range of diameters with a superior standard in a new design, and in addition offers extra performance at a bargain price.

The use of high-tech components promises reductions in non-productive times of up to 25% and therefore a correspondingly higher productivity and economic efficiency.

Examples are the integrated spindle motor delivering a drive power of 21kW (CTX 410) and 31kW (CTX 510) and the fast twelve-tool power turret with max.

change times of 0.1 seconds.

In addition, the CTX 410 and the CTX 510 have also settled on three open-loop controllers including high-tech software on their triumphant progress through the world markets.

The customer can choose from the CNC models Siemens 840D with the latest ShopTurn 3D programming software, the Heidenhain IT with DINPlus (optional TurnPlus), or the Fanuc 21i TB with ManualGuide.

All CNC systems function with superior 3D graphics that in conjunction with the optimal swing-out operator panel enhance ease of operation and deliver yet another decisive competitive advantage.

In other words, the machines from the new CTX 10 Series offer the decisive advantage of economic efficiency at the lowest price.

This bargain price was achieved on the one hand with efficient production methods, like the assembly line.

On the other hand, Gildemeister is concentrating on a clearly defined standard for machine variants (optionally with fixed or power tools) and options.

All machines of the CTX 10 Series are also available in optional space green metallic, to underscore all the more the future potential of these innovations.

The machines of the CTX 20 linear Series dominate on their part with linear drives of high dynamic response, 3D high-speed controllers in the DMG ControlPanel with 15' TFT screen, and extensive expansion stages up to counter-spindle variants with power tools and y axes for the high-end universal lathe.
