About This CNC Swiss Machine
Meet our affordable, high-performance, full-featured Ganesh GEN TURN SL-20Y2 8-axis 20mm Swiss twin-spindle mill / turn machine center. This includes dual “Y” & “C” axis for simultaneous front and backside machining providing the most “bang-for-the buck” in 20mm Swiss “one-and-done” machining.
Spindles
Sub spindles in this CNC Swiss machine work independently from the main spindle for greatly enhanced machining efficiency. Both the main spindle and sub spindle feature a high-performance “C” axis with full contouring capability and 360,000 radial positions.
Bushings
There is a removable guide-bushing to lower operating costs and reduce setup time for shorter parts having a low aspect ratio that do not require the use of a guide bushing. 10,000 RPM main spindle and 8,000 RPM sub spindles are driven by a 5-horsepower Mitsubishi motors and feature rigid tapping. In addition, all of the driven tools feature rigid tapping.
Part Ejector
Standard cut-off separation confirmation wand-switch ensures that the part has been properly cutoff prior to the resumption of machining to avoid crashes. A part ejector with a part eject confirmation sensor switch and spindle flush collect clean-out is standard. Efficient safe parts ejection is assured when the part eject piston travels to the end of its stroke when the proper end effector is utilized.
30-tool stations that include 8-driven tools are included in the basic machine package.
Specs
17-tool positions provided for the main spindle:
• 6-turning tools
• 4-drilling/boring tools
• 5-cross driven tools
• 2-deep hole drilling tools
• Additional static and driven tools can be added
13-tool positions provided for the sub spindle:
• 3-turning tools
• 4-drilling/boring tools
• 3 I.D. tools
• 3-axial driven tools
• Additional static and driven tools can be added
Up to 38-tool stations with up to 23-live tools are available to make for efficient machining of complex parts to be completed in just one seamless operation.
Features
Y-axis for the sub spindle is not just for Y-axis features on the workpiece!
• Doubles the dedicated Back-Working tooling availability
• From 4-tool positions to 8-tool positions due to Y-axis shift
• Can use any mix of 8-driven or static tools – even 3-turning tools
• Provides the extra tooling to create the most productive balance between the work on the main and subspindle for more production throughput
• Includes the extra tooling to make effective use of the included Tool Life Management feature for extended production capability
• Provides the ability to electronically trim the tool center in the Y-axis to find the optimum cutting performance for any given tool.
• Can improve tool life
• Can even reduce tool chatter for better accuracy and surface finish
CNC Controller
Standard Mitsubishi M830 High-Performance CNC Control features a 64-Bit CNC Dedicated CPU with highly efficient RISC processor. As a result, this technology provides for a Blazing 270,000 Bock-Per-Minute Processing Speed (4,500 BPS) and 2,000 Block Look-Ahead making it the “World’s Fastest CNC Control”. G12.1 polar coordinate machining is a standard feature that simplifies programming. Its massive program memory features a 10-GB solid-state resident hard-drive and 32-GB SD & USB card slots with direct program operation and full edit capability. A RJ-485 Ethernet interface and RS-232 DB-25 connections are provided. A 3-year control warranty is provided. Tool-life management is a standard feature.
