Q: How much does the Ganesh GEN TURN SL-42Y2 cost?

The price estimate for the Ganesh GEN TURN SL-42Y2 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-sl-42y2#price; the request is passed to Ganesh or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Ganesh GEN TURN SL-42Y2 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

With bar capacity to 1-5/8 in (42 mm), the GEN TURN SL-42Y2 sits at the top of what a sliding-headstock machine usually handles. Expand Machinery sells it as a hybrid 8-axis CNC Swiss machine, but note the default: the table gives the bar range as 1/4 - 1-5/8 in (5 - 42 mm) without guide bushing, and the rotary guide bushing is an option that uses Hardinge STM38 bushings.

That makes it, as listed, a twin-spindle bar machine with a sliding headstock. Turning length without the bushing is 4.13 in (105 mm). Fit the bushing and a single stroke of the headstock covers 12.20 in (310 mm), which is where the Swiss principle earns its keep on shafts and pins.

Power matches the bar size. The main spindle motor is rated 10 HP for 15 min and 7.5 HP on constant duty, at up to 6,000 rpm, and a lever-action collet closer driven by a hydraulic piston grips Traub-42 or 173E collets. The main tool post has 6 turning tools of 16 mm (5/8 in) shank, internal tool bores and deep hole positions of 25 mm, and 6 ER-20 cross live spindles at 4,000 rpm and 2 HP (1.6 kW). On center the machine drills 13 mm and taps M10.

The sub-spindle has the same 1.732 in (44 mm) bore as the main spindle, so a full-diameter 1-5/8 in (42 mm) part can be gripped for back working. Its tool block carries 3 turning tools and 3 ER-16 axial live tools, and holds 8 tools in all. The machine weighs 11,024 lb (5,000 kg), against 5,954 lb (2,700 kg) for the GEN TURN SL-20Y2, and it runs on cutting oil only from a 65 gallon (250 L) tank. Control is the Mitsubishi M-830.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Bar capacity to 1-5/8 in (42 mm) with a 1.732 in (44 mm) bore in both spindles
Optional rotary guide bushing gives 12.20 in (310 mm) of turning length in one stroke
10 HP 15 min rated main spindle motor at up to 6,000 rpm

Live tools run at 4,000 rpm, half the 8,000 rpm of the cross tools on the GEN TURN SL-20Y2
Needs 80 amps, 30 kVA at 220 VAC and weighs 11,024 lb (5,000 kg)

Best For

Bar parts from 5 mm to 42 mm that need front and back machining Long shafts and pins, with the optional rotary guide bushing Larger-diameter work with cross drilling to 10 mm and on-center drilling to 13 mm Bar work that has outgrown 20 mm machines such as the GEN TURN SL-20Y2

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the guide bushing standard on the GEN TURN SL-42Y2?

No. The rotary synchronous guide bushing is optional and uses Hardinge STM38 bushings. As listed, the machine runs bar from 1/4 - 1-5/8 in (5 - 42 mm) without a guide bushing, with a turning length of 4.13 in (105 mm). With the bushing fitted, turning length in a single stroke is 12.20 in (310 mm).

02 What are the spindle ratings?

The main spindle runs to 6,000 rpm on a motor rated 10 HP for 15 min duty and 7.5 HP constant duty, given as 5.5 / 7.5 kW. The sub-spindle also runs to 6,000 rpm. Both spindles have a 1.732 in (44 mm) bore and use Traub-42 / 173E collets.

03 What live tooling is included?

Six ER-20 cross slide live spindles at 4,000 rpm and 2 HP (1.6 kW) serve the main spindle, and 3 ER-20 front axial live tools are optional in place of 1 cross tool. The sub-spindle block has 3 ER-16 axial live tools at 4,000 rpm and 1.0 HP (0.75 kW). Expand Machinery notes that the block can mix live and fixed tools.

04 How does it compare with the GEN TURN SL-20Y2?

The GEN TURN SL-20Y2 is the 20 mm machine with a 10,000 rpm main spindle and a removable guide bushing; it weighs 5,954 lb (2,700 kg). The GEN TURN SL-42Y2 takes 42 mm bar at 6,000 rpm, has the bushing as an option and weighs 11,024 lb (5,000 kg). Both rapid at 944 ipm (24 m/min).
