GANESH CYCLONE-32 COUNTER SPINDLE 7-AXIS PRECISION CNC TURN/MILL CENTER
The GANESH CYCLONE-32 CS is a 7-axis 1.25” (32mm) bar diameter sliding headstock CNC lathe without a guide bushing, which facilitates faster setups, greater workpiece concentricity, and superior cutting rigidity over conventional Swiss-style lathes. The CYCLONE-32 CS configuration allows for short cycle-times because the Counter Spindle can work simultaneously with the Main Spindle. The CYCLONE-32 CS does not require the use of ground barstock or a guide bushing like the Swiss-style machines must use, this together with the much shorter bar remnant, represents additional profitability when using this machine design. The CYCLONE-32 CS CNC screw machine configuration also allows for shorter cycle times due to the enhanced machine rigidity and the ability to aggressively rough cut and then finish with a second tool, all while achieving much greater tool life. The CYCLONE-32 CS can use as many of the 27-available tools as necessary to rough and finish features on the workpiece. Swiss machines cuts are limited to the length of the guide bushing, and longer cuts must be micro-fed at full depth with one-tool in just one-pass which burns up expensive tooling. These advantages are particularly evident in tougher materials where the capability of the Cyclone 32CS excels.
The GANESH CYCLONE-32 CS lathe features a total of 27-tool stations. The Main Spindle can use 18-tools, which comprise of a bank of 4-live cross tools, a bank of 3-axial live tools (all included with the machine), 6-turing tool stations, and 5-ID tool stations, all in a gang configuration. Additional cutting tools can be utilized in machining the workpiece by double-tooling the ID-tools stations with dual insert boring bar holders for rough and finish boring, boring and turning, boring and threading etc. The Counter Spindle can use up to 9-tools for machining the second side of the workpiece so the workpiece can be finished in just one operation.
The CYCLONE-32 CS Main Spindle features a 7.5” X-axis stroke, a Y-axis travel of 11” for full off-centerline machining capability, and the Z-axis has 6.5” of headstock movement. The high-performance full-featured rotary C-axis has 360,000 radial positions (0.001-degree resolution) for engraving and other complex radial machining details. The 5-station fixed ID gang tooled slide can use solid bushings or ER-20 collets to hold cutting tools. All of the rotary tooling is included with the machine and uses the same ER-20 collets for tool shanks up to ½” (13mm). The Counter Spindle has an X-axis stroke of 11.53”, a Z-axis of 11.61”, and a full-featured rotary C-axis with 360,000 radial positions (0.001-degree resolution).
The 7,820-pound GANESH CYCLONE-32 CS is equipped with a 10-horspower Main and 5 HP Counter spindle motors, each with a 6000-rpm spindles. The machine features rigid tapping and a PC-based control with program assist for fast and easy canned cycle development for efficient programming at the machine. The Cyclone also uses standard EIA coding for off-line programming using the Ethernet or RS-232 connections or the Compact Flash Card port for easy program transfer.
This compact machine comes complete with a parts catcher, and hydraulic cylinders and includes Traub “Dead Length” A-32 collet chucks for barstock up to Ø1.25”. A complete line of barfeeders and automatic barloaders for 3’, 6’ and 12’ barstock is available for unattended high-production machining applications.
