Twin-spindle production turning systems in the TWIN series
Twin-spindle turning centres built by Gildemeister / DMG MORI in TWIN 32, 42, 65, and 500 model groups deliver complete six-sided machining in twin work zones. The secondary spindle transfers workpieces on the fly, eliminating secondary handling and alignment inaccuracies.
- High-grade angular contact bearings and absolute rotary encoders supporting counter spindle C-axes
- Torque transmission couplings and hydraulic lock manifolds serving upper and lower tool turrets
- Flexible drag chain conduits and shielded industrial cables routed along dynamic axes slides
- Hydraulic seal replacement kits for counter spindle positioning cylinders and quill actuators
Heavy-duty teach-in CNC turning machines in the NEF series
Teach-in CNC turning lathes manufactured by Gildemeister / DMG MORI across NEF 320, 400, 520, and 600 ranges combine intuitive setup with CNC accuracy. Robust saddle and slide geometry guarantees dependable performance during maintenance and small-batch toolroom fabrication runs.
- Digital manual pulse generator handwheels, sealed selector knobs, and operator panel buttons
- Hardened and ground taper gibs for precision alignment along longitudinal and cross slide ways
- Machine protective enclosures featuring multi-layer laminated safety observation windows
- Preloaded backlash-free ballscrews and double-nut assemblies driving X and Z linear axes
Cartridge and compactMASTER motor spindle assemblies
Spindle units from Gildemeister / DMG MORI incorporate turning cartridges and compactMASTER mill-turn motor spindles featuring a pivoting B-axis. Integrated liquid cooling passages and pressurized air labyrinth seals protect precision bearings from thermal drift and swarf ingression.
- Matched duplex and triplex sets of precision angular contact spindle bearings in P4 tolerance
- Non-contact proximity sensors confirming drawbar clamping stroke for workpieces and tooling
- High-pressure through-spindle coolant rotary unions, ceramic mechanical seals, and O-rings
- Embedded thermal sensors monitoring temperature profiles across integrated drive motor windings
Sauter tool turret assemblies and VDI tool discs
Sauter tool turrets installed on Gildemeister / DMG MORI turning machines switch tooling in fractions of a second with rigid Hirth coupling engagement. An integrated drive mechanism powers milling, drilling, and thread tapping tooling directly within the turning work zone.
- High-accuracy ground Hirth coupling tooth rings delivering repeatable turret disc lockup
- Hydraulic unclamp and locking cylinder seal packages, wipers, and pressure relief dampers
- Drive bevel gears, spline shafts, and hardened torque pins for live tooling transmission trains
- Protective synthetic wiper sleeves and sealing plugs for empty VDI tool disc holder pockets
Bed inclination kinematics and vibration damping in CTX turning centres
Structural engineering of Gildemeister / DMG MORI turning centres throughout the CTX line relies on a rigid mono-block machine frame featuring slide ways inclined at forty-five degrees.
This geometric layout creates the shortest route for machining forces into the foundation while assisting gravitational evacuation of hot metal chips into the chip conveyor trough.
High-rigidity linear roller guideways deliver resistance against torsional and bending loads during simultaneous fast feeds along the X and Z coordinates. Protective stainless steel telescopic guards shield polished guideway tracks from fine particulate swarf and slurry.
Regular inspection of ballscrew preloading prevents axial backlash buildup.
Multi-slide kinematic synchronization and bar feeding across SPRINT machinery
Production bar turning machines from Gildemeister / DMG MORI in the SPRINT model series feature independent linear slides that perform simultaneous roughing and finishing along solid raw metal bars.
Integrating an automatic bar feeder requires alignment between the feed channel and the machine spindle bore. A synchronous rotating guide bush equipped with tungsten carbide pads supports slender workpieces right next to the cutting zone, stopping deflection under radial loads.
The pneumatic insertion mechanism detects the final position of the bar using proximity sensors, avoiding collisions between cutting tools and remnants. Centralized lubrication distributes metered oil doses to slide ways.
Synchronous counter-spindle part handoff and six-sided turning on TWIN complexes
Twin-spindle turning centres engineered by Gildemeister / DMG MORI in the TWIN line execute complete component processing across all six sides within a single setup.
As handoff timing approaches, the secondary spindle accelerates to match main spindle angular velocity with rotational phase synchronization along the C-axis coordinate.
The secondary hydraulic chuck grips the machined datum diameter firmly, whereupon a cutoff tool separates the workpiece with minimal face cutoff allowance. Two independent tool turrets continue simultaneous turning operations across both spindles without thermal pauses.
Precise clamping force regulation through pressure transducers prevents distortion of thin-walled parts.
Ergonomic teach-in CNC operation, precision ballscrews, and slide ways on NEF lathes
Teach-in CNC turning lathes manufactured by Gildemeister / DMG MORI in the NEF series are built for swift one-off fabrication, plant equipment maintenance, and toolroom machining tasks.
Combining a CNC unit with electronic manual pulse generator handwheels lets operators transition between manual slide positioning and automated threading or tapering cycles effortlessly.
Slide guideways feature Turcite-B anti-friction polymer lining, minimizing static friction and eliminating stick-slip during slow feed rates. Dual-supported linear ballscrews incorporate angular contact thrust bearings with preloaded axial tension, neutralizing thermal growth across extended shifts.
Thermal stabilization, closed-loop cooling, and compactMASTER motor spindle setup
The compactMASTER motor spindles on Gildemeister / DMG MORI mill-turn centres combine a high-speed synchronous motor and a tilting B-axis inside a compact housing.
Preventing spindle thermal distortion is achieved through continuous circulation of coolant throughout the stator jacket with temperature regulation maintained by a closed-loop refrigeration unit.
Internal hydraulic tool unclamping actuators incorporate quick-dump relief valves that isolate ceramic ball bearings from axial shock impulses.
Front labyrinth seals remain pressurized with clean dry compressed air, creating an active barrier that prevents coolant mist from entering the spindle bearing cavity.
Hirth coupling indexing mechanics, hydraulic locking, and Sauter tool turret setup
Sauter tool turrets mounted on Gildemeister / DMG MORI turning machines maintain rigid toolholder disc retention through high-precision Hirth coupling tooth engagement.
During tool indexing, a hydraulic piston unseats the disc slightly from the mating coupling ring, a servo drive rotates to the target station, and disc spring stacks with hydraulic pressure clamp the assembly with multiple tons of locking force.
This design ensures angular repeatability within seconds of arc. External wiper seals and synthetic rings safeguard internal bevel gears and spline shafts from swarf intrusion during deep turning operations.
