GROB Systems Inc. will demonstrate power skiving capabilities as well as innovative fir tree mill finishing on its highly productive GROB G550T 5-axis mill-turn universal machining center at PMTS (Precision Machining Technology Show) Booth #3063 at Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland in Ohio from April 1-3, 2025. Attendees can see how GROB meets and exceeds precision manufacturing demands and GROB personnel will be on-hand to answer specific customer application questions.
The GROB G550T offers maximum stability and excellent maintainability, providing the greatest possible positioning flexibility due to the axes large swivel range (230ﹾ in the A-axis and 360ﹾ in the B-axes). A horizontal spindle position permits the longest possible Z-travel path and optimum chip fall. The G550T features a unique arrangement of the three linear axes that minimizes the distance between the guides and the machining point (TCP), providing stability in part production. A tunnel concept permits the largest possible component (even in the case of with extremely long tools) to be swiveled and machined within the work area without collision. The three linear and two rotary axes allow 5-sided machining, 5-axis simultaneous interpolation, as well as GROB TRAORI-turning for precise cutting control. GROB machining centers are made in the U.S.A. at the GROB Systems full production facility in Ohio which has recently been expanded to 500,000ft2, and can include advanced automation solutions for dramatically increased productivity.
GROB will also be holding an in-booth (#3063) demonstration on Tuesday, April 1, from 10:30AM-10:45AM when Mike Hough, GROB regional sales manager, Universal Machines, will present “GSC Advanced: Achieving Optimum Accuracy on Universal Machines.” GSC (GROB Swivel Axis Calibration) Advanced is GROB’s latest volumetric compensation technology, fully automating the compensation process between part changes, tool changes, during the warmup cycle, or as often as desired.
