Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Enshu. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Enshu GE30V is a vertical machining center offered with two spindles: MAS BT30 as standard, at 13,000 min-1 with 24 tools, or MAS BT40 as an option, at 8,000 min-1 with 20 tools. It has a 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in) table rated for 500 kg (1,102.3 lbs), with travels of 600 mm (23.6 in) in X and Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z.

Choosing BT40 gives up two things. Top speed falls from 13,000 min-1 to 8,000 min-1 and the magazine shrinks from 24 tools to 20. What the bigger shank returns is the ability to hold larger cutters, which matters for face milling and for drills too big for BT30 holders. A shop that mostly drills, taps and runs small end mills in aluminium is better served by the standard spindle. The table gives no power or torque figure for either spindle, so that part of the comparison needs a question to Enshu.

A 500 kg (1,102.3 lbs) table load stands out among Enshu's smaller verticals: the EV360Te, also BT30, lists 250 kg (551.2 lbs) and the WE30Ve lists 350 kg (771 lbs). Z travel is 400 mm (15.7 in), against 300 mm (11.8 in) on both the EV360Te and the WE30Ve. The GE30V therefore takes heavier fixtures and taller setups than those two.

Rapid traverse is 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min) and the cutting feed rate reaches the same figure with AI Advanced preview control. One row deserves a question before ordering: Y travel is listed as 600 mm (23.6 in), which is more than the 400 mm (15.7 in) depth of the table, so ask Enshu how much of that stroke lies over the work surface. The horizontal GE30H shares the spindle pair, 13,000 min-1 on BT30 and 8,000 min-1 with the BT40 option, for shops that want the same tooling on both layouts.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Choice of MAS BT30 at 13,000 min-1 (standard) or MAS BT40 at 8,000 min-1 (option)
500 kg (1,102.3 lbs) table load, double the 250 kg (551.2 lbs) of the EV360Te
400 mm (15.7 in) of Z travel for taller fixtures
Cutting feed up to 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min) with AI Advanced preview control
24 tools with the standard BT30 spindle

Limitations

The BT40 option reduces top speed to 8,000 min-1 and the magazine to 20 tools
No spindle power or torque figure is listed for either spindle
Listed Y travel of 600 mm (23.6 in) exceeds the 400 mm (15.7 in) table depth; confirm the usable stroke over the table
No spindle faster than 13,000 min-1 is listed; the EV360Te offers a 20,000 min-1 option

Best For

Drilling, tapping and light milling at 13,000 min-1 on the standard BT30 spindle Heavier fixtures on a small machine, up to 500 kg (1,102.3 lbs) Taller setups needing 400 mm (15.7 in) of Z Shops running the GE30H that want the same spindle options on a vertical

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What changes with the BT40 option on the GE30V?

Three things. The shank goes from MAS BT30 to MAS BT40, the maximum spindle speed drops from 13,000 min-1 to 8,000 min-1, and the magazine goes from 24 tools to 20 tools. Pick it for larger cutters, and stay with the standard spindle for speed and tool count.

02 What are the travels and table size of the GE30V?

The table is 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in). Travels are listed as 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 600 mm (23.6 in) in Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z. Since the Y figure is larger than the table depth, confirm with Enshu how much of the Y stroke is usable over the table.

03 How much weight can the GE30V table carry?

500 kg (1,102.3 lbs), including the fixture. Among Enshu's small verticals that is well above the 250 kg (551.2 lbs) of the EV360Te and the 350 kg (771 lbs) of the WE30Ve, and equal to the 500 kg of the BT40 EV450Te.

04 How does the GE30V relate to the GE30H?

They share the spindle options: 13,000 min-1 on MAS BT30 as standard and 8,000 min-1 with the MAS BT40 option. The GE30H is the horizontal, with 500 mm (19.7 in) travels on all three axes, a Ø400 mm (Ø15.7 in) table and 60,000 mm/min (2,362.2 in/min) rapids. The GE30V is the vertical, with a 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in) table and 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min) rapids.

05 How fast are the rapid and cutting feeds on the GE30V?

Rapid traverse is 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min). The cutting feed rate is listed up to the same 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min), noted as applying with AI Advanced preview control. With a BT30 spindle the cutter usually sets the feed limit before the axis does.
