GT mini and Bar Feeder: Perfect Combo

Our GT mini super compact gang-tool turning center is designed for precision turning of small parts both for bar work and for second operations.
GT mini is small. It takes up only 48” by 40” of shop space. The GT mini has hydraulic 5C collet closer as standard equipment. It accepts bar stock up to 1.02” (26mm).
Cubic recently started providing its own bar feeder to go with the GT mini. This makes installation easier and reduces the time a customer has to wait for bar feeder integration from another vendor. The type of bar feeder chosen is a short bar magazine loader. GT mini is meant for simple turning operations, because GT mini already has an air-operated programmable parts catcher, adding a bar feeder is a very natural next step to make it a completely unattended setup for bar turning.
Beyond bar processing, an optional 4” hydraulic 3-jaw chuck is also available for operator loaded parts.
GT mini’s spindle is rated at 6,000 rpm maximum and is powered by a 3 HP spindle motor. GT mini uses Mitsubishi EZMotion E60 control and servo package for high performance CNC with a space saving design.
Like all other CNC lathes from Cubic, GT mini features gang-tool style tooling for flexible setups. The horizontal tool table accepts wide range of toolings and accessories.
Cubic Machinery provides a standard tooling package with each machine. Cubic Machinery can also supply optional riser tool plates if a customer wants to re-use existing 3/8”, 1/2” or 3/4” center height Hardinge-style toolings.
