GF Machining Liechti Turbomill 2000gx Twin

The GF Machining Solutions Liechti Turbomill 2000gx Twin is a dual-spindle, large-format 5-axis blade machining center with a 2,000 mm workzone and twin independent spindle heads. With a recommended part diameter of 395 mm per spindle, the Twin configuration doubles roughing productivity on medium-diameter blades while leveraging the full 2,000 mm working envelope.

The dual-spindle architecture allows two blades to be roughed simultaneously, cutting cycle time nearly in half for production runs of identical blades. Each spindle operates independently with its own 5-axis kinematics, tool magazine, and coolant delivery. During finishing passes — where spindle dynamics and vibration isolation become critical — the machine can operate in single-spindle mode for maximum surface quality.

Each spindle delivers 20,000 RPM through an HSK-A63 interface with 60 kW (80 hp) continuous power and 200 Nm torque. The combined 120 kW installed spindle power makes the 2000gx Twin one of the most powerful dedicated blade machines available, targeting high-volume aerospace and IGT production lines where throughput directly impacts program economics.

Turbosoft+ CAM manages both spindles with synchronized and independent toolpath modes. The Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl control coordinates dual-spindle motion with collision avoidance across the shared workspace. High-pressure through-spindle coolant at 80 bar per head maintains chip evacuation performance on both cutting zones simultaneously.
