Goodway GV-1200

Q: How much does the Goodway GV-1200 cost?

The price estimate for the Goodway GV-1200 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. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/goodway-gv-1200#price; the request is passed to Goodway or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Goodway GV-1200 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

Second in the GV-1 range of moving-rail vertical lathes, the Goodway GV-1200 has a Ø1,250 mm (49.2 in) table and turns Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in). It is more than a slightly wider GV-1100: three figures step up together, and each one changes what work the machine can take.

First, height. Turning height rises to 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and the W-axis cross rail travel to 800 mm (31.5 in), so tall valve bodies and gear blanks clear the rail. Second, torque. The table delivers up to 17,100 Nm (12,613 lb-ft) from the same 37 kW (49.6 hp) continuous, 45 kW (60.3 hp) 30 min. motor, which points to a different gear ratio. Third, the tool changer holds 16 tools in place of 12.

Table load is 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). Swing is Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in), X travel 1,375 mm (54.1 in) and Z travel 900 mm (35.4 in). Goodway describes the column as heavily ribbed and cast in Meehanite together with the base, and the table spindle as running in crossed roller bearings.

The optional tooling spindle is also stronger here, 11 kW (14.8 hp) continuous and 15 kW (20.1 hp) for 30 min. at 2 ~ 2,400 rpm with a BT50 taper. That is enough for face milling and for drilling bolt circles in flanges once the turning is done. Goodway names shipbuilding, wind turbines, construction equipment and aerospace as the industries served. The control is FANUC Oi-TF Plus.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the main capacities of the GV-1200?

Table diameter Ø1,250 mm (49.2 in), swing Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in), turning diameter Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in), turning height 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and table load 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). X travel is 1,375 mm (54.1 in) and Z travel 900 mm (35.4 in).

02 How much torque does the GV-1200 table produce?

Maximum spindle torque is 17,100 Nm (12,613 lb-ft). The drive is a 37 kW (49.6 hp) continuous, 45 kW (60.3 hp) 30 min. motor through a two-speed gearbox. The GV-1100 is listed at 10,170 Nm (7,501 lb-ft) with the same motor.

03 How many tools does the GV-1200 changer hold?

16, with a BT50 taper. Goodway also mentions optional umbrella-type magazines in 12T, 16T and 24T sizes for the series, depending on requirements.

04 What is the difference between the GV-1200 and the GVF-1215?

The GVF-1215 is the fixed-beam counterpart: a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) table, 900 mm (35.4 in) of turning height and no W-axis. The GV-1200 has a moving cross rail with 800 mm (31.5 in) of W travel and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of turning height. Both list 17,100 Nm (12,613 lb-ft).
