Assembly-friendly system solution for demanding machining centres

Profile

The GS 800 was added to Alzmetall's family of machining centres in 2001 and immediately became a successful model, winning the German Federal Innovation Award in 2002 for its numerous innovative design features. In 2005, with the GS 1000, an upward expansion followed in two respects. On the one hand, the machining space has been expanded to 1070 mm in the A-axis, and on the other hand there is a choice of direct drives with torque technology or conventional servo drives for the two rotary axes. Both variants have been well received by users worldwide and have become a hit for Alzmetall.
 
In September 2006 the GS series was extended downwards. The GS 650 is specifically designed for users who demand precision and performance that cannot be met by conventional frame designs. This was first presented at the AMB in Stuttgart in autumn 2006. The machine is designed as a true gantry system and, in contrast to the GS 800 and GS 1000, is offered in A and C axis exclusively with highly dynamic and maintenance-free torque drives. High accuracies (Tp=0.007) and high machining speeds are available for use in single-part production and in volume production, in tool and mould making and in general mechanical engineering.
 
In addition to the 5-axis simultaneous version, there is a 3-axis version with a fixed table and optionally a 4th axis with counter bearing.
Integration into automated production systems can be achieved with a linear robot solution - the machine can be fully lifted from above - as well as with a pallet changer or an articulated arm robot for loading from the front, e.g. also with a zero-point clamping system.
