Vision Wide GS-1620

Q: How much does the Vision Wide GS-1620 cost?

The price estimate for the Vision Wide GS-1620 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/vision-wide-gs-1620#price; the request is passed to Vision Wide or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Vision Wide GS-1620 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

Two motors and two scales drive the X axis of the Vision Wide GS-1620. On a gantry machine the bridge is pushed along from both sides, and if the two sides do not stay in step the bridge skews. Vision Wide fits the X-axis with dual direct-driven servo motors plus dual linear scales, which it says ensure positioning accuracy at high-speed motion.

Each side is measured on its own scale, so the control sees and corrects any difference between them. The Z-axis is direct-driven as well; the maker says this prevents the error that an indirect drive between mechanisms would add. XYZ axis linear scale feedback is on the standard list.

The GS-1620 has 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X travel and 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y, over a 1,600 x 2,000 mm (63.0 x 78.7 in) fixed table rated at 3,000 kg/m2. Z travel is 800 mm, with 1,000 mm optional.

It is built for mold and aluminum work at speed: 15,000 rpm, cutting feed of 1-24,000 mm/min and 24 / 24 / 24 m/min rapids. Power is 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp). The control is a Fanuc 0iMF PLUS, with Fanuc 31iB and HEIDENHAIN TNC 620/640 as options.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

X-axis with dual direct-driven servo motors and dual linear scales
Direct-driven Z-axis by servo motor
1,600 x 2,000 mm (63.0 x 78.7 in) fixed table at 3,000 kg/m2
HEIDENHAIN TNC 620/640 control available as an option

Limitations

X travel of 1,600 mm (63.0 in) is shorter than the 2,000 mm (78.7 in) Y travel
Standard Z travel is 800 mm
15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) limits heavy roughing in steel

Best For

High-speed mold finishing with scale feedback on every axis Aluminum parts up to 2,000 mm (78.7 in) wide Shops needing a gantry that holds accuracy at high feed

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How is the X axis driven on the Vision Wide GS-1620?

By dual direct-driven servo motors with dual linear scales, according to the maker's feature text. The Z-axis is also direct-driven by a servo motor.

02 What are the GS-1620 travels and table size?

X travel is 1,600 mm (63.0 in), Y travel 2,000 mm (78.7 in) and Z travel 800 / 1,000 mm (31.5 / 39.4 in) (Opt.). The table is 1,600 x 2,000 mm (63.0 x 78.7 in).

03 Which controls can the GS-1620 have?

The Fanuc 0iMF PLUS controller is standard. The option list names the Fanuc 31iB Controller and the HEIDENHAIN TNC 620/640 Controller.

04 Is the GS-1620 a high-speed machine?

Yes. The spindle is a direct-driven 15,000rpm unit, the cutting feed range is 1-24,000 mm/min and rapid traverse is 24 / 24 / 24 m/min, with 30 / 30 / 24 m/min as an option.
