GDW C 280Z CNC Cycle Lathe with Siemens Control
Description
From Single Parts to Series, with Cobot-Ready Automation
The GDW C 280Z is a high-precision cycle and CNC lathe from the conturline series, built in Germany for shops that turn parts with contours, radii and tapers, or run them in larger quantities. The Siemens 828D control with ShopTurn programming lets machinists create programs right at the machine, from simple cycles for one-off parts to complete programs for series production. The C 280Z is also prepared for automation with a collaborative robot.
The main spindle develops up to 13.4 hp and 92 lb-ft of torque, with speeds from 1 to 4,500 rpm, which suits heavy cuts in steel as well as fine finishing. AC servo drives on both axes provide feeds from 0.00004 to 2.36 in/rev and 236 in/min rapid traverse. The machine cuts metric, inch, module and diametral-pitch threads, including very coarse pitches.
The compact slant-bed design pairs an ergonomic layout with generous travels and an open work area. A sliding-door enclosure with safety glass, a retractable chip trolley, an LED work light and a travelling control panel come standard. The standard Multifix size B quick-change tool post can be upgraded to a manual PARAT turret or an automatic 12-station turret, also available with 6 live tool stations.
