The low center of gravity heavy duty slant bed design provide a super rigid foundation for the headstock, turret, and tailstock.

By using Finite Element Methods ( FEM ), optimal reinforce ribbings are directly cast into the one-piece bed structure. Mechanical rigidity has been increased by more than 30 % when compared to conventional designs. The GS-8000 series can provide both heavy cutting and high precision capabilities. More rigidity also means extended tool life.

Built to endure years and years of rigorous high production turning, the heavily ribbed, one-piece thermally balanced bed and casting components are of MEEHANITE casting.

MEEHANITE grade cast iron is capable of withstanding much greater stress without deforming and provides maximum vibration damping, which result in a machine that will outlast and outperform the competition.

All spindle and servo motors, including drives, are FANUC alpha i series components to ensure peak machining performance and accuracy.
