GLS-1500 Series

Compact 30° slant-bed CNC turning center built for high-throughput, repeatable results. GLS-1500 covers Ø430 mm max turning, Ø45 mm bar capacity and 330/630 mm lengths, with 30 m/min rapids. Add live tooling + C-axis, and optionally Y-axis and sub-spindle for true multitasking.

  • Ø430 mm turning with a compact, rigid 30° slant-bed base
  • 30 m/min rapids and 0.2 s turret indexing to cut cycle time
  • Options: live tooling + C-axis, plus Y-axis and sub-spindle

Overview

High Speed Turning Centers

The GLS-1500 Series is a compact, high-speed turning platform designed for stable, repeatable production on small-to-medium large parts—combining a 30° slant-bed layout with efficient chip evacuation and strong accessibility for operators and automation-ready workflows.

Its structure is built around a heavily ribbed, thermally balanced bed with FEM-optimized reinforcement to improve rigidity and durability under sustained cutting loads—supporting consistent geometry, surface quality, and tool life in serial machining.

For spindle performance, GLS-1500 pairs a direct belt-drive system (up to 6,000 rpm) with robust spindle construction; an optional built-in spindle motor is available for faster response and reduced vibration.

To expand capability beyond turning, the series supports a clear upgrade path: live tooling + C-axis, and (for L-series configurations) optional Y-axis and sub-spindle for one-setup completion and higher throughput on multi-feature components.

Applications

General machining

Mixed prototype and production work across sizes; flexible envelopes and quick changeovers speed setups, reduce handling, and keep output consistent day to day.

Capital goods

Industrial equipment components from plates and frames to precision shafts and housings; scalable platforms and stable processes preserve accuracy over long runs.

Automotive

Tooling and production parts across the supply chain, from fixtures and dies to turned and milled components; repeatable referencing supports surface quality and tight tolerances.

Energy

Pump and valve components, compressor parts, and auxiliary housings; controlled cutting and chip/coolant management help protect tolerances, surface finish, and tool life.

Oil & Gas

Valve bodies, manifolds, housings, and high-integrity flanges; robust machining strategies and chip/coolant control help maintain tolerances in demanding alloys.

Railway

Frames, brackets, axlebox housings, and brake components; rigid machining and effective chip evacuation keep geometry and flatness consistent on large parts.
