GOODWAY GS-280LYS CNC TURNING CENTER

Description

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE CNC TURNING CENTERS
Packed with industry leading technology and top-quality components, the Goodway GS-280YS series turning centers combine incredible power, strength, and speed to bring you Ultimate Machining Power®. These powerful ultra-performance machines will easily accomplish the demanding applications of today and tomorrow. 2 bed lengths (utilizing the same advanced design) and 3 spindle sizes and a total of 6 basic models to suit your application. Furthermore, with available live tooling, C-axis, Y-axis, and sub-spindle capabilities, milling, drilling, and front / back-end turning applications may be completed in one single machine.

The modern 30° slant-bed design ensures outstanding structural rigidity and heavy-duty cutting ability.

Stainless steel way covers, and special steel wipers molded with industrial strength rubber are used for durability. Fully enclosed splashguards keep chips and coolant contained for a safe clean working environment. The auto lubrication system delivers metered amounts of lubrication to the slide ways, ball screws, and vital components. Distribution is automatically shut off¬ during idling to prevent waste.

MAXIMUM STRENGTH CONSTRUCTION:
By using Finite Element Methods (FEM), optimal reinforced ribbings are directly cast into the one-piece bed structure. Mechanical rigidity has increased by more than 30% when compared to conventional designs.

Major structural components have been combined into one solid platform. The low center of gravity 30° slant bed design provides the most rigid foundation possible for the headstock, turret, and tailstock.

Built to endure years and years of rigorous high production turning, the heavily ribbed, one-piece thermally balanced bed and casting components are of FC35 grad cast iron can withstand much greater stress without deforming and provides maximum vibration dampening, which results in a machine that will outlast and outperform the competition.

X and Z axes are driven by over-sized FANUC α i series absolute AC servo motors, providing tremendous thrust outputs with faster acceleration and deceleration. Absolute encoder technology saves time and money by eliminating the use of limit switches, thus, eliminating referencing axes to home positions and replacing broken limit switches.

Contact surfaces of all slides, headstock, turret, tailstock, and ball screws bearing housings with the machine bed are precision hand scraped to provide maximum assembly precision, structural rigidity, and load distribution.

C3 class hardened, and precision ground screws ensure the highest accuracy and durability possible. Plus, pretention on all axes minimizes thermal distortion.

Extra wide hardened and ground box ways are directly formed onto the machine’s bed and saddle during the casting process. They are precision machined and widely spaced for maximum strength. The box way design also provides the rigidity needed for heavy cutting and interrupted turning applications.

ADVANCED TURRET TECHNOLOGY:
Goodway all series turrets are equipped with Japan made curvic couplings which is precision assembled under A/C controlled laboratory which ensures powerful cutting performance, outstanding quality, and long-life span.

The heavy-duty servo motor indexing system achieves 0.2 second indexing times for adjacent stations and 0.5 second for stations at the opposite end of the disk. Index movements are a single step, without pauses, no matter how many stations are skipped.

The large diameter super high precision curvic couplings accurately position the turret disk and the powerful clamping force ensures abundant turret rigidity for all cutting conditions. The curvic coupling provides self-centering, self-cleaning and large contact surface advantages compared to conventional curvic couplings.

HIGH RIGIDITY TAILSTOCK:
Programmable servo type tailstock combined with a complete software interface can easily accomplish difficult processing tasks while simplifying the tailstock positioning procedure to save manpower.

Powerful Live Tooling Turrets:
Goodway’s live tooling turret utilizes advance servo indexing technology to achieve 0.2 second indexing times for adjacent stations and 0.5 second for stations at the opposite end of the disk. With the latest technology, live tooling is driven by an AC servo motor to provide ample power, in the form of torque. Now, even the toughest of jobs may be tackled without sweat.

Y-Axis Machining Capability:
Y-axis control further enhances multi-tasking live tooling capabilities and improves various machining precision. High precision grooving and X-axis off-center drilling are enables.

On Y-axis equipped machines, the turret is mounted on a secondary 30 degrees wedge saddle on top of the X-axis slide. Both X & Y axes have extra wide hardened and ground box ways, which are directly formed onto the saddles during the casting process. They are precision machined and widely spaced for maximum strength.
