How much does the Ganesh GEN TURN CW52MY GII cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Ganesh GEN TURN CW52MY GII 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 CW52MY GII is a twin-spindle, twin-turret turning center with a three-axis gantry loader built into the machine. The loader handles workpieces up to 3 kg including the gripper and reaches both the left and the right spindle, so chucked blanks can be loaded, transferred and unloaded without a bar feeder or an external robot.
Expand Machinery describes the loader in some detail: a high-speed gantry with rack-and-pinion drive, motor-driven gripper rotation for angle adjustment, and an overhead design that keeps floor space down. It can run the same operation on both spindles, doubling output of a one-operation part, or first and second operations in sequence. The maker also notes that it integrates with workpiece stockers, measuring devices and cleaning units.
Underneath, the machine follows the GEN TURN CW52MY: built-in 5,000 rpm spindles of 12 HP (9.0 kW) on A2-6 noses, dual 12-station live tool turrets with a full Y axis on both, and travels of 6.693 in (170 mm) in X, 12.598 in (320 mm) in Z and 2.362 in (60 mm) in Y. Two figures differ in the tables. Maximum chucking diameter is given as 6 in for both spindles, and the Y-axis rapid is 118 ipm (3 m/min) where the GEN TURN CW52MY lists 315 ipm (8 m/min).
Bar work is still possible, with 2.04 in (52 mm) capacity and a 2.36 in (60 mm) through hole in both spindles. The control is a Fanuc OiTF Plus with a custom screen, Marposs motorized tool setters are fitted, and the chip conveyor discharges at barrel height. Weight is 11,220 lb (5,100 kg). The 3 kg limit is the figure to check first: it includes the gripper, so the usable part weight is lower.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum weight is 3 kg including the gripper. The gantry has 3 axes and covers both the left and the right side of the machine, so it can load and unload either spindle. Gripper rotation is motor driven, and the loader uses a rack-and-pinion drive.
02
The built-in gantry loader is the main difference. The turning specification is largely shared: 5,000 rpm spindles of 12 HP (9.0 kW), 2.04 in (52 mm) bar capacity and the same X, Z and Y travels. The GII weighs 11,220 lb (5,100 kg) against 10,584 lb (4,800 kg) for the GEN TURN CW52MY, and its table gives a Y-axis rapid of 118 ipm (3 m/min).
03
The spindle table allows it: maximum barstock is 2.04 in (52 mm) on both the main and the sub-spindle, with a 2.36 in (60 mm) through hole. The machine is sold around the gantry loader, though, so confirm the bar feeder interface before ordering it for bar work.
04
A Fanuc OiTF Plus CNC with what Expand Machinery calls a custom screen for efficient operation. Marposs high-precision motorized tool setters are listed, and the turrets use WTO Quick-Flex toolholders on 12 driven stations at up to 6,000 rpm.
