5-axis CNC milling machine GM-2-5AX

swiveling-spindlegantryfor composites

The GM-2-5AX is a 5-axis gantry mill designed for complex, large-part machining, such as airframe components, layup molds, and composite structures. The machine’s rigid steel construction provides a very stable cutting platform, and a 1" thick aluminum table is standard. A traveling guard protects the operator from chips and coolant, and keeps the workspace clean. Dual-axis spindle head provides ±245 degrees of C-axis rotation and ±120 degrees of B-axis tilt Rigid-steel construction Traveling guard for chip and coolant containment 1" thick aluminum table There are a number of technical details that make the GM-2-5AX gantry mill very different from all other Haas 5-axis machines currently available. These differences are explained in the following blocks. Keep scrolling to get a better understanding of the capabilities of this unique 5-axis machine. The integral spindle design allows for fast acceleration rates to get the spindle speed up and down quickly. Consult the torque chart for your application. The GM-2-5AX is a full 5-axis “gimbal head” machine, where both rotary axes are mounted on the Z-axis ram, and the spindle/cutting tool assembly rotates, while the workpiece is stationary on the machine table. This allows the cutting tool to point at any angle within the rotary-axis travel limits. G268 Feature Coordinate System Feature Coordinate System (G268) is a new feature in the Haas control unique to this “gimbal head” style machine. By definition, the work plane is perpendicular to the spindle centerline.
