GTV: 24/7 Performance

GTVs in a cell

CNC West magazine wrote about one of our customers in Anaheim, CA who has 4 of our GTV machines in turn-mill configuration. His shop runs the GTVs 24 hours a day 7 days a week, performing 2nd operations involving helical ramping.

Couple of juicy quotes from Lou, the owner:

I approached Cubic Machinery to build the machines I wanted. They said they could do it. They guaranteed me their machines would meet my specifications, so I placed an order for four machines. Now for first time ever, my secondary ops are waiting for my primaries.

The Cubic machines are very small footprint, combination turning-milling machines with pneumatically driven live tooling for milling operations. The spindle speed is 6,000 rpm, but it is the rapids that make the machines “the fastest on the market,” according to Polic.
