Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Ganesh GEN MILL 2416 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The GEN MILL 2416 is the smallest of Expand Machinery's 3-axis vertical machining centers, with 24.01 in (610 mm) of X travel, 15.75 in (400 mm) of Y and 17.72 in (450 mm) of Z. It is a 40-taper machine with a 12,000 rpm inline direct-drive spindle and a 24+1 twin-arm tool changer.
The table measures 25.59 x 15.75 in (650 x 400 mm), barely longer than the X stroke, and carries 882 lb (400 kg). Daylight under the spindle runs from 5.11 to 22.83 in (130 - 580 mm), which leaves room for a vise plus a tall tool, or for a small rotary table.
For its size the machine is equipped for fast work. Rapids are 1,417 ipm (36 m/min) in X and Y and 1,260 ipm (32 m/min) in Z, tool changes take 2.2 sec tool-to-tool, and the maker lists 2,700 block look-ahead, a spindle chiller and 300 psi through-the-tool coolant. The spindle is a double-ground Big-Plus type. Its motor is rated 15 HP on the S3 rating and 10 HP for 30 min, which is modest; a 15,000 rpm spindle is optional. Cutting feed tops out at 393 ipm (10 m/min).
All three axes run on cross-roller linear ways of 30, 35 and 35 mm with 32 mm ballscrews. Listed accuracy is ±0.0002 in over 12 in and repeatability ±0.0001 in over 12 in to JIS6338. The machine weighs 9,923 lb (4,500 kg) and takes 87 x 73 x 113 in of floor space, plus 44 in for the conveyor. The GEN MILL 3120 is the next size up, with 31.496 in (800 mm) of X and a 30+1 tool changer.
