The latest Gildemeister Sprint50linear slant bed mill-turn centre with optimised access and improved visibility, provides three independent 12-station turrets and each position having a driven tool capability. A major advantage is that either three driven tools or fixed tools can be engaged simultaneously for competitive cycle times.

The slant bed machine design provides a Y-axis cross-feed as standard to the third turret slide and, as an option, to the two lower turrets. Each of the 36 driven tool positions has 3.7 kW of power available and 5,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 18 Nm for effective chip removal when milling or drilling.

The stroke of the Y-axis on the upper turret is ±30 and ±25 mm when applied as an option to the other two lower turrets. Fully integrated main and counter spindles both have 15 kW, 6,000 rpm motors and full C-axis interpolation or positioning with a pneumatically controlled fast-acting clamping system.
