Minimum Footprint

GT mini plus allows you to use shop floor space efficiently, its foot print measures only 50” x 42”. The compact size becomes a great advantage when you need to organize machines to into production cells.

Full Featured Operation Panel

The operation panel has been revamped to include convenient features such as a MPG handwheel and dry run button. The buttons and switches have also been grouped for ergonomic usage through all modes of operation.

Platform for High Production

Gang-type tooling on the GT mini plus offers increased accuracy and speed over turret- based designs. Unlike a turret, the tools stay fixed on the gang tool plate, not only can they achieve better positioning accuracy, and there’s also no time lost to turret indexing. Gang tool layout is proven to reduce cycle times while maintaining rigidity and superior surface finish. GT mini plus comes with a standard tooling package at no extra cost.

Extensive Workholding Options

5C collets are most commonly used on GT mini plus. 5C collets are widely available and are designed for close tolerance holding of round, square and hex bar stocks in inch or metric sizes (up to 1.02” bar capacity). However, GT mini plus can also make use of these other workholding options:

• “Dead-length” 5C collet—for zero part movement in Z axis
• 5C step chuck—for gripping larger parts while using the same 5C drawbar
• 4” hydraulic 3-jaw chuck—the traditional workholding choice on many lathes

Heavy Machine Base + FANUC Precision = Real Machining Power

GT mini plus outperforms many machines in the same class by virtue of its mechanical advantages. The gray cast iron base affords superior vibration dampening, allowing faster, deeper cuts to be taken while maintaining maximum accuracy and longer tool life. The machine’s computer optimized design ensures overall rigidity and stability under high acceleration rates while keeping thermal expansion tightly in check. The P4-class precision ground ballscrews on X and Z axes are driven by FANUC AC digital servos, delivering a part making capability that is unparalleled in this price range. GT mini plus features FANUC 0i-Mate CNC, which is the gold standard in terms of reliability. The widespread adoption of FANUC systems on so many shop floors means shortened training and programming time. Being the leader does not mean improvement is stopped: the control now offers PC-card slot next to the LCD display for convenient program transfers.
