Gildemeister lathe model CTX 500

The GILDEMEISTER CTX 500 CNC lathe was manufactured in 1995 by GILDEMEISTER Drehmaschinen GmbH in Germany. The machine processes a workpiece with a maximum turning diameter over the bed of 500 mm, a turning diameter over the slide of 290 mm and a turning length of 450 mm. The lathe spindle rotates at a speed of 3200 rpm. The automatic lathe is equipped with a tool head with twelve VDI 40 tools and an EPL 2 CNC control.

CNC lathes have revolutionized the manufacturing industry by quickly and efficiently manufacturing complex parts and components. One of the most advanced and popular CNC lathes is the Gildemeister CTX 500, designed and manufactured by DMG Mori.

The Gildemeister CTX 500 is a high-precision CNC lathe that has a wide range of machining capabilities for various applications. Its advanced spindle technology enables high-speed rotation, while its precision cutting tools ensure accuracy and precision in the machining process.

A key feature of the CTX 500 is its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy for operators to program and control the machine, enabling both novice and professional operators to create and edit machining programs quickly and easily. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors, thereby increasing efficiency and productivity.

The CTX 500 also features a high level of automation, which reduces the need for manual intervention, making it ideal for large-scale production. It is also equipped with a robotic loading system that can handle multiple workpieces simultaneously, allowing for continuous, uninterrupted machining, which in turn leads to high production in the industry. The machine also has an internal cooling system that ensures a constant temperature and reduces the risk of overheating.

The machine can handle a wide range of materials, from soft metals such as aluminum and brass to harder materials such as steel and titanium with high versatility. Its multi-axis capability allows for the creation of complex parts with intricate shapes and contours, making it suitable for a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive and medical.
