Two turning centres will be adorning the DMG stand at MACH.

The CTX 310 eco V3 3-axis universal CNC lathe is an entry level turning machine with driven tools and DMG’s latest control as standard. Ideal for both single part and series production as well as for use in training workshops and application development, the machine is said to offer performance at an affordable price.

Highlights of the machine are a 12 position VDI 30 turret with up to six stations driven, C-axis on the 5,000rpm/16.5kW (40% DC) main spindle, digital drives with linear guideways in all axes for high dynamics (X: 24m/minute; Z: 30m/minute), automatic tailstock, hollow clamping for 51mm diameter bar and chucking up to 200mm diameter. The CTX 310 eco V3 has a 3D control from either Siemens or Fanuc with 15 inch TFT colour screen.

Competitively priced option packages start with the ‘chip disposal pack’ featuring a chip conveyor and a set of soft chucks. Another is the ‘pre-adjustment package’ that has tool measurement and chip conveyor. The ‘bar machining package’ includes a chip conveyor, an interface for a bar feed or bar loading magazine, and a workpiece pick-up unit. A four colour indicator lamp is provided with all option packages.

The second machine – the CTX Beta 1250 TC represents the mid-range of the fifth generation of Gildemeister’s CTX Alpha, Beta and Gamma universal lathes. It is based on a modular build that allows customers to specify various options to meet precise requirements. For example, a 20kW counter spindle can replace the tailstock to provide one hit, five sided simultaneous machining. The latest design improvements have seen a claimed 25% increase in productivity and 40% improvement in visibility when viewing the working area.

An important feature of the machines is the ERGOline control with 19 inch screen and 3D software for fast and easy programming. The TC version of the CTX Beta turn/mill centre has 22kW of power and 100Nm of torque available to its B-axis milling head. The machine has a disc type tool magazine capable of storing 24 HSK 63-A cutters for completing complex machining programs. Alternatively, space for sister tooling enables continuous machining of components held in the 28kW main spindle.
