Q: How much does the Goodway GS-2000 cost?

The price estimate for the Goodway GS-2000 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.

Overview

The Goodway GS-2000 is the 8 in entry to the GS-2000 / GS-3000 series, Goodway's main line of box-way slant-bed turning centers. It pairs Ø65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity and a 4,500 rpm spindle with a frame sized for much larger work: Ø570 mm (22.4 in) of turning diameter, 300 mm (11.8 in) of X travel and a Ø700 mm (27.6 in) swing.

Compared with the older-pattern GS-200, which also has an 8 in chuck and the same bore, this model is a bigger and stronger machine. The motor is rated 15 kW (20.1 hp) continuous and 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) for 30 min., and the standard bed already turns 780 mm (30.7 in). The L bed stretches turning length and Z travel to 1,530 mm (60.2 in).

Goodway sells the series in eight basic configurations, two bed lengths times four bar capacities, and lets the buyer choose a gear-driven, built-in or belt-driven spindle. The 12-station servo turret makes an opposing tool change in 0.8 seconds by the maker's figure. A programmable tailstock is part of the base table, with 120 mm (4.7 in) of quill travel and an MT#4 live or MT#3 dead center, and a servo tailstock is optional.

Options turn it into a multi-tasking lathe. The live tooling turret has 12 driven stations with ER32 collets at 5,000 rpm, the Y-axis travels ±50 mm (±2.0 in), and the sub-spindle carries a 6 in chuck with a 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) continuous rating at up to 6,000 rpm. With the Y-axis fitted, turning diameter is Ø400 mm (15.7 in).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How is the GS-2000 different from the GS-200?

Both have an 8 in chuck, Ø65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity and 4,500 rpm. The GS-2000 turns Ø570 mm (22.4 in) and its motor is rated 15 kW (20.1 hp) continuous. The GS-200 turns Ø420 mm (16.5 in) with an 11 kW (15 HP) continuous motor.

02 What spindle types can the GS-2000 be ordered with?

Goodway states that gear-driven, built-in or belt-driven spindles can be selected according to requirements, and describes the built-in type as a precision option and the geared type as a high torque option. The table lists 15 kW (20.1 hp) continuous and 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) for 30 min. at 4,500 rpm.

03 What are the travels of the GS-2000?

X-axis travel is 300 mm (11.8 in). Z-axis travel is 780 mm (30.7 in) on the standard bed and 1,530 mm (60.2 in) on the L bed, and the maximum turning length equals the Z travel in both cases. The optional Y-axis travels ±50 mm (±2.0 in).

04 What does the sub-spindle option on the GS-2000 include?

A sub-spindle with a 6 in hydraulic chuck, rated 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) continuous and 7.5 kW (10.1 hp) for 30 min., with a top speed of 6,000 rpm. It is fitted in the S, MS and YS variations for back-end machining.
