GROB G550a

The GROB G550a is a 5-axis universal machining center with a horizontally arranged motorized spindle. It has three linear axes (X, Y, Z) and two rotary axes (A and B), which allow 5-sided machining and 5-axis simultaneous interpolation. It is built for milling applications in mechanical engineering, automotive and die/mold work, and can be extended with pallet changers and pallet storage systems for automation.
