How much does the Glebar GT-610 CNC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Glebar GT-610 CNC 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 Glebar GT-610 CNC is the top model of the GT-610 centerless family: an infeed and thrufeed grinder with a 15 hp (11 kW) work wheel 8.625 in (219 mm) wide, CNC dressing of both wheels, and a part range from 0.002 in (0.05 mm) to 2.0 in (50.8 mm) in diameter. Glebar positions it for lights-out production where gauging feedback and data gathering are part of the job.
What separates it from the plain GT-610 is the dresser and the base. Here the work wheel dresser is a CNC unit with 0.1 µm (0.000004 in) resolution on X and on Y, where the GT-610 uses template tracing dressers. Work wheel speed is a range, 500-2,500 rpm. And the machine sits on a mineral cast base at 8,100 lb (3,674 kg), where the GT-610 weighs 3,130 lb (1,420 kg) on its granite bed.
The wheel is a choice of 10 in (254 mm) or 12 in (305 mm) diameter. It works against a 6 in (152 mm) regulating wheel that turns at 10-200 rpm on its own 2 hp (1.5 kW) drive, and the width of the wheel is what lets several parts be ground in one cycle. Upper and lower slides position independently, each with 0.1 µm (0.000004 in) resolution. The stated results are roundness better than 0.00004 in (1.02 microns) and diameter resolution better than 0.00005 in (1.27 microns).
Plan the installation around the services. The machine needs 480 VAC, 60 Hz at 50 A and an air supply of 40 CFM at 80 PSI, and it occupies 136 x 85 x 92 in (345 x 216 x 234 cm). Automatic wheel balancing and acoustic emission sensing are on the feature list. Feeders, robots, gantry loading, cleaning and sorting are offered as turnkey integration, and the P5K gauging system is an available addition for automatic size compensation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- CNC work wheel dresser with 0.1 µm (0.000004 in) resolution on both X and Y, plus automatic CNC dressing of the regulating wheel
- 8.625 in (219 mm) wide work wheel on a 15 hp (11 kW) spindle grinds multiple parts per cycle
- Stated roundness better than 0.00004 in (1.02 microns) and diameter resolution better than 0.00005 in (1.27 microns)
- Work wheel speed adjustable across 500-2,500 rpm, with a 10 in (254 mm) or 12 in (305 mm) wheel
- Automatic wheel balancing and acoustic emissions systems are part of the listed feature set
- Auto dress can be programmed to redress the wheel after a set number of parts
Limitations
- At 8,100 lb (3,674 kg) on its mineral cast base it is far heavier than the GT-610 at 3,130 lb (1,420 kg), so check floor loading and rigging
- Air demand is 40 CFM at 80 PSI, a large draw to add to a shop compressor
- Maximum part diameter is 2.0 in (50.8 mm)
- Feeders, robots, gantry loading and the P5K gauging system are available items, not part of the listed base machine
- The 136 x 85 x 92 in (345 x 216 x 234 cm) footprint is much larger than the GT-610's 66 x 54 x 94 in (168 x 137 x 239 cm)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The dresser, the base and the speed range. The GT-610 CNC has a CNC work wheel dresser with 0.1 µm (0.000004 in) resolution on X and Y, a mineral cast base that brings it to 8,100 lb (3,674 kg), and a 500-2,500 rpm work wheel. The GT-610 uses template tracing dressers and weighs 3,130 lb (1,420 kg) on a granite bed. Both have a 15 hp (11 kW) work wheel and grind up to 2.0 in (50.8 mm).
02
Glebar lists a grinding diameter capacity from a minimum of 0.002 in (0.05 mm) to a maximum of 2.0 in (50.8 mm). The work wheel is 8.625 in (219 mm) wide, so short parts can be ground several at a time in one cycle.
03
Both the work wheel and the regulating wheel are dressed automatically under CNC. The work wheel dresser has X and Y axes with 0.1 µm (0.000004 in) resolution and roller guides with 0.1-micron scale feedback. An auto dress function can be programmed to redress the wheel after a set number of parts.
04
Electrical supply is 480 VAC, 60 Hz at 50 A. Air is 40 CFM at 80 PSI, which is a substantial demand and should be checked against compressor capacity before delivery. The machine measures 136 x 85 x 92 in (345 x 216 x 234 cm).
05
That is what Glebar builds it for. Automatic wheel balancing, acoustic emissions sensing and CNC dressing are listed features, and the P5K gauging system is available to feed diameter measurements back for automatic size compensation. Feeders, robots, a pick and place gantry, cleaning and sorting are offered as turnkey integration.
