How much does the GF Machining Liechti Turbomill 2000gx cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Liechti Turbomill 2000gx is a 5-axis simultaneous machining center whose listed work zone is 2,000 mm long, with a maximum part diameter of 700 mm. Those two figures define the machine: it is laid out for long parts that are machined around their own axis, not for blocks clamped flat on a table.
The single HSK-A63 spindle is listed at 20,000 RPM, 60 kW (80 hp) and 200 Nm, and a 60-tool magazine feeds it. That combination of speed and power suits programs that rough and finish in one setup. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min, and positioning accuracy is listed as 0.005 mm (5 µm).
The control is a Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl, and the table names Liechti Turbosoft+ as the CAM software, so a buyer should plan programming around that package. Coolant is high-pressure through the spindle at 80 bar, which matters on long reaches where chips have to be flushed out of the cut.
The machine weighs 35,000 kg. Foundation, crane access and floor loading need to be settled well before delivery. The listed figures have not been matched to a current GF Machining Solutions data sheet, so confirm them against a quotation before committing.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed 20,000 RPM HSK-A63 spindle with 60 kW (80 hp) and 200 Nm
- 2,000 mm work zone length with a 700 mm maximum part diameter for long workpieces
- 60-tool magazine, enough for long multi-operation programs
- High-pressure through-spindle coolant at 80 bar
- Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl control, with Liechti Turbosoft+ named as the CAM software
Limitations
- At 35,000 kg the machine needs a prepared foundation and heavy rigging
- Parts are limited to a 700 mm diameter, so wide or flat workpieces fall outside the envelope
- Rapid traverse is listed at 30 m/min, modest next to the 2,000 mm work zone the axes have to cover
- Single spindle only; the table lists no second spindle for parallel machining

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed work zone is 2,000 mm long and the maximum part diameter is 700 mm. The machine is therefore suited to long parts machined around their axis; anything wider than 700 mm does not fit, whatever its length.
02
One HSK-A63 spindle listed at 20,000 RPM, 60 kW (80 hp) and 200 Nm, fed by a 60-tool magazine. Coolant runs through the spindle at 80 bar.
03
The table lists a Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl control and Liechti Turbosoft+ as the CAM software. Check that your programming team can work with Turbosoft+, or budget for training, before the machine arrives.
04
The machine weighs 35,000 kg, so the foundation, floor loading and lifting route need an engineer's sign-off. The 80 bar through-spindle coolant system also needs space around the machine. Confirm the listed figures with GF Machining Solutions as part of the quotation.
