How much does the Ganesh GEN TURN 52CS Y2 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Ganesh GEN TURN 52CS Y2 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 TURN 52CS Y2 takes the bushing-less Swiss layout up to 2 in (51 mm) bar and gives both spindles their own Y axis. Expand Machinery lists it as an 8-axis CNC Swiss machine. The main spindle runs to 6,000 rpm on 10 HP (7.5 kW) and holds bar in a Traub A-52 collet nose; the sub-spindle matches the speed on 6 HP (4.4 kW) with a Traub A-42 nose and a 43 mm bore.
Axis strokes are long for a machine of this type. X1 is 8.66 in (220 mm), Y1 24.41 in (620 mm) and Z1 16.0 in (406 mm). On the sub-spindle side X2 is 14.9 in (380 mm), Y2 5.11 in (130 mm) and Z2 18.1 in (460 mm). Both Y axes are described as true Y axes, not compound ones. Maximum cut length is 4.33 in (110 mm), so despite the Z strokes this remains a machine for parts cut close to the collet.
What sets it apart from the GEN TURN 36-CS is live tooling. The main side has 6 ER-20 radial tools at 2.0 HP (1.5 kW) and 4 ER-20 axial tools at 1.0 HP (0.75 kW). The sub-spindle side has 4 ER-20 axial tools at 4.0 HP (3 kW) with room for 4 more. All of them run to 6,000 rpm, against 4,000 rpm on the GEN TURN 36-CS, and all are gear driven with 42 mm bearings and no belts.
One caution on speed: every axis rapids at 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) except Y2, which is listed at 196 ipm (5 m/min). The machine weighs 13,880 lb (6,300 kg), stands 78 in (1,977 mm) high and needs 35 kVA at 220 VAC, 92 amps. A parts catcher and chip conveyor are standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum barstock diameter is 2 in (51 mm). The main spindle uses a Traub A-52 collet nose with a TRB-52 collet and a 52 mm bore. The sub-spindle uses a Traub A-42 nose with a TRB-42 collet and a 43 mm bore.
02
Size, the second Y axis and the live tools. The GEN TURN 36-CS takes 1.25 in (32 mm) bar as standard and its live tools stop at 4,000 rpm. The GEN TURN 52CS Y2 takes 2 in (51 mm) bar, adds a Y2 axis of 5.11 in (130 mm) on the sub-spindle side and runs its live tools to 6,000 rpm.
03
The tooling table lists 6 ER-20 cross slide radial live tools and 4 ER-20 front slide axial live tools for the main spindle, and 4 ER-20 back slide axial live tools for the sub-spindle with the possibility of adding 4 more. Fixed tooling is 6 OD turning positions and 5 ID bores of 25 mm for the main spindle, and 5 ID bores for the sub-spindle on the back of the main tool bores.
04
