Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Goodway GTZ-2600 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
Larger sibling of the GTZ-1500, the Goodway GTZ-2600 is a twin-spindle lathe with upper and lower turrets, 8 in big-bore chucks and Ø65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity. Its two spindles are identical, each rated 11 kW (14.8 hp) continuous and 15 kW (20.1 hp) for 30 min. over a 40 ~ 4,000 rpm range.
Goodway's text adds a detail the table leaves out: the spindle motor is a 15 kW wide-range type that produces up to 430 Nm. For a Ø65 mm bar machine that is a lot of torque, and it suits steel parts that need heavy roughing before they are transferred.
Upper and lower turrets cover almost the same ground. X1 travel is 195 mm (7.7 in) and X2 travel 210 mm (8.3 in), while Z1 and Z2 are both 620 mm (24.4 in). Maximum turning diameter is Ø250 mm (9.8 in), swing Ø270 mm (10.6 in). Turning length is 590 mm (23.2 in), or 600 mm (23.6 in) with the 16-station turret.
Turret choice is wide and somewhat confusing in the table, which prints several columns under one model name. Plain turrets come as 12 + 12 or 16 + 16 stations. Live tooling turrets are listed as 12 + 12, 16 + 16 or 24 + 24 stations; the 24-station disks drive 12 of their positions. Live tool speed is 6,000 rpm according to the feature list. One limit to plan around: only the upper turret can have the Y-axis, which travels ±50 mm (±2.0 in). The bed is a one-piece 45° slant casting with linear guideways.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Spindle 1 and spindle 2 are identical: 8 in big-bore chuck, Ø65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity, 40 ~ 4,000 rpm, 11 kW (14.8 hp) continuous and 15 kW (20.1 hp) for 30 min. Goodway's feature list describes a 15 kW wide-range motor with a maximum torque of 430 Nm.
02
Without live tooling, the upper and lower turrets have 12 + 12 or 16 + 16 stations. The optional live tooling turrets are listed with 12 + 12, 16 + 16 or 24 + 24 stations, with 12 + 12, 16 + 16 and 12 + 12 live positions respectively.
03
No. Goodway states that Y-axis control is available for the upper turret. Its travel is ±50 mm (±2.0 in), which the maker also writes as 100 mm in total. The GTZ-1500 is the model with Y travel on both turrets.
04
Maximum turning length is 590 mm (23.2 in), or 600 mm (23.6 in) with the 16-station turret. Both Z1 and Z2 travel 620 mm (24.4 in). Maximum turning diameter is Ø250 mm (9.8 in).
