GROB G550

The G550 is a 5-axis universal machining center with three linear axes (X/Y/Z) and two rotary axes (A/B) and a horizontally arranged spindle. It performs 5-sided machining and 5-axis simultaneous interpolation on a range of materials, using motorized spindles, disk-type tool magazines and tilting rotary tables.

Safety

GROB Chip-in-Spindle Detection System (SiS) detects tool clamping faults caused by chips between the plain surface and the spindle nose from 10 μm, to avoid rejects and damage.
The pallet changer includes an integrated seating check system and flushing of the zero point clamping system for process reliability during pallet change.
GROB Spindle Diagnostics (GSD) automatically monitors the condition of the motorized spindle to support scheduled maintenance.
