GTV L

The GTV-27L and GTV-42L Gang Tool Lathes are ideal for industries that require precision, speed, and efficiency in part production. Industries that benefit the most include: Aerospace: These lathes can produce high-precision, small-to-medium-sized components required for aerospace applications. Automotive: Perfect for machining complex parts with high accuracy and efficiency, critical for the automotive industry. Medical: The ability to produce intricate and tight-tolerance components makes these machines ideal for medical device manufacturing. Electronics: The machines’ precision and high-speed capabilities are suited for producing small, complex parts needed in electronics. General Manufacturing: For manufacturers needing flexible, high-performance lathes for various part sizes and materials, the GTV-27L and GTV-42L offer the versatility required for diverse applications. These industries benefit from the speed, rigidity, and precision that the GTV-27L and GTV-42L provide, resulting in higher productivity and product quality.

The GTV-27L and GTV-42L lathes are known for their extreme level of accuracy, maintaining a positioning accuracy of 0.00005 inches even at maximum traverse speeds, which ensures high precision in machining operations. They also feature rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute on the X and Z axes, which significantly reduces non-cutting time and enhances productivity.  Additionally, the unique vertical plate design of these lathes allows metal chips and coolant to drop directly downward, away from the cutting tools, improving parts production efficiency and cooling effectiveness.

These lathes provide a wide range of work holding options, including collet spindle noses in the widely available 5C and 16C configurations for high accuracy chucking. They also offer a dead-length B42 (DIN6343 173E-type) collet chuck, which eliminates workpiece pull-back by having zero z-axis movement when the collet is closed. Furthermore, the hydraulically actuated chuck on these machines provides a stronger gripping force than air chucking, allowing for heavier cuts and improved machining stability.

The GTV-27L and GTV-42L lathes can be integrated with automation systems, such as cobots, to enhance production efficiency. For instance, a setup involving a Cubic GTV-27 machine and two GTV-42 lathes with UR5e cobot arms was implemented to maintain high throughput and accuracy while minimizing the machine's footprint. This integration allows for consistent programming with machine controls and efficient use of space, making it ideal for operations requiring high precision and flexibility.
