Overview

The DMG Mori Wasino GG-5 is a compact dual-process flat tooling CNC turning center designed for machining front and rear faces of small parts in a single operation. With a maximum workpiece diameter of 50 mm (2 in) and maximum workpiece length of 40 mm (1.6 in), this machine is purpose-built for high-volume production of small, short components that require machining on both ends.

The machine handles bar stock up to 45 mm (1.8 in) diameter. X-axis travel is 200 mm (7.9 in) and Z-axis travel is 220 mm (8.7 in). The GG designation indicates the dual-process capability that machines both the front and rear faces of the part in one continuous operation, eliminating the flip or re-chuck that adds time and introduces concentricity error on conventional lathes.

Thermal displacement at cold start measures 5.0 micrometers on diameter. While this is not as tight as the G 100-series, it is appropriate for the compact machine's target applications in high-volume small-part production where cycle time and throughput are the primary drivers.

The stainless steel cover provides stable machining accuracy by protecting the work zone from chip contamination and coolant-related thermal effects. The flat tooling configuration delivers the rigidity advantages of individual tool mounts over turret designs.

The Wasino GG-5 targets the highest-volume production applications for small parts: automotive sensor housings, electronic connector components, medical implant fasteners, and precision hardware. The dual-process front-and-rear machining eliminates a secondary setup, cutting total production time and improving concentricity between front and rear features.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Dual-process front and rear face machining eliminates re-chucking for better concentricity and shorter cycle times
45 mm bar capacity exceeds the 50 mm workpiece diameter limit, providing full bar-fed production flexibility
Flat tooling configuration provides superior rigidity for consistent accuracy on small precision parts
Stainless steel cover protects the work zone from chip contamination for stable machining accuracy
Compact design optimized for maximum throughput per square foot of floor space
Wasino precision heritage with DMG Mori global service and support network

Limitations

50 mm maximum workpiece diameter and 40 mm length severely restrict the range of parts the machine can handle
5.0 µm thermal displacement is less precise than the G 100-series and A 150-series Wasino models
Dual-process programming is more complex than single-face turning and requires process planning expertise
Niche machine type limits resale market compared to conventional CNC lathes

Best For

High-volume automotive sensor housing production where front and rear features must be concentric Electronic connector and contact body manufacturers machining both ends of small components at maximum throughput Medical fastener and small implant production where concentricity between front and rear features is critical Precision hardware manufacturers producing nuts, spacers, and couplings that require machining on both faces Any high-volume production of small parts under 50 mm diameter where dual-face machining saves a secondary operation

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does dual-process front and rear face machining mean?

The GG-5 machines both the front face and rear face of the part in a single continuous operation without removing the part from the machine. This eliminates the re-chucking step that adds cycle time and introduces concentricity error between front and rear features.

02 How does the GG-5 compare to the Wasino AA-1?

The AA-1 is a dual-spindle, dual-turret machine that machines two different parts simultaneously. The GG-5 machines front and rear faces of the same part in one operation. Choose the AA-1 when you need parallel production of two parts; choose the GG-5 when you need both faces of one part machined without re-chucking.

03 Why is the bar capacity larger than the workpiece diameter?

The 45 mm bar capacity exceeds the 50 mm workpiece diameter because the bar diameter refers to the raw stock, while workpiece diameter is the maximum finished dimension. This allows full bar-fed production of parts at the maximum diameter without bar size being the limiting factor.

04 Is the GG-5 suitable for bar-fed lights-out production?

Yes. The 45 mm bar capacity works with standard bar feeders, and the dual-process design produces complete parts without operator intervention. The stainless steel cover helps maintain accuracy during extended unattended runs.
