Ganesh GEN TURN 52-GTS

Q: How much does the Ganesh GEN TURN 52-GTS cost?

The price estimate for the Ganesh GEN TURN 52-GTS is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/ganesh-gen-turn-52-gts#price; the request is passed to Ganesh or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Ganesh GEN TURN 52-GTS 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

Two opposed spindles and two gang-tooled cross slides, with no turret anywhere: that is the GEN TURN 52-GTS. Expand Machinery lists it as a 6-axis dual gang-tooled lathe with 2.047 in (52 mm) of collet capacity, and both spindles share one specification of 15 HP (11 kW, 30 min rated) and 6,000 rpm with spindle orient.

Each cross slide has 13 in (330 mm) of X travel and each spindle 10.63 in (270 mm) of Z travel. The part is turned on the main spindle, handed to the sub-spindle and finished on its back face while the main spindle starts the next piece, so both ends are cut at once. The maker's claim is that this is faster than a twin-spindle twin-turret lathe. The mechanical reason is that a gang slide moves straight to the next tool at 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) and never waits for a turret to rotate.

Tooling mounts on cross slides with 5 T-slots on 32 mm centers. OD tools are 3/4 in as standard and ID tools 20 mm, with 3/4 in available. C axes on both spindles are there for live tooling options, which means driven tools are not part of the base machine. The collet nose is Traub A-52, and adapters for 3J, 22J, 16C and S20 collets are available.

A spindle motor chiller is included and each spindle has its own 3/4 HP, 45 psi coolant pump. The machine is 118 in (2,980 mm) long plus 25 in for the chip conveyor, weighs 9,922 lb (4,500 kg) and needs 24 kVA at 220 VAC. Within the gang-tool group it is the large one: the GEN TURN 32-GT is a single-spindle machine for 1-1/4 in (32 mm) bar.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Twin opposed 6,000 rpm spindles, each rated 15 HP (11 kW, 30 min rated), machine both ends of a part at the same time
Two gang slides with 13 in (330 mm) of X travel each and 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) rapids
2.047 in (52 mm) collet capacity through a Traub A-52 collet nose, with 3J, 22J, 16C and S20 adapters available
Spindle motor chiller included, plus a separate 3/4 HP, 45 psi coolant pump for each spindle

Limitations

No turret: every tool has to fit on the cross-slide T-slots and clear the part
Z travel is 10.63 in (270 mm) per spindle, which limits part length
Live tooling is an option that uses the C axes; the base machine is turning only
Needs 63 amps at 220 VAC and 10 cfm of air at 85 psi

Best For

Bar work up to 2.047 in (52 mm) that needs both ends finished Short-cycle parts where gang tooling beats turret indexing Production turning with simultaneous main and sub-spindle cutting Twin-spindle capacity within 9,922 lb (4,500 kg) of machine weight

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How is the GEN TURN 52-GTS different from a twin-turret lathe?

It has no turrets. Tools are mounted on two parallel gang-tooled cross slides, one for each of the opposed spindles, and each slide has 13 in (330 mm) of X travel. Moving to the next tool is a straight slide move at up to 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) instead of a turret rotation. Expand Machinery states it is faster than a twin-spindle twin-turret lathe.

02 What bar capacity and collets does it use?

Collet capacity is 2.047 in (52 mm) and the drawtube ID is 2.086 in (53 mm). The collet nose is Traub A-52 on an A2-5 spindle nose, and adapters are available for 3J, 22J, 16C and S20 collets.

03 Does the 52-GTS have live tooling?

Not as listed. Both spindles have a C axis, and the maker lists that as being for live tooling options. The tooling table itself covers OD tools of 3/4 in, ID tools of 20 mm with 3/4 in available, and the T-slot pattern of the cross slides.

04 How large is the machine and what does it need?

It is 118 in (2,980 mm) long plus 25 in for the chip conveyor and 54 in (1,356 mm) wide plus 21 in for the coolant tank, and it weighs 9,922 lb (4,500 kg). Electrical supply is 220 VAC ±5%, 3-phase, 60 Hz at 63 amps, 24 kVA. Air is 85 psi at 10 cfm.
