Extremely Fast Turning With CNC Precision
These extremely fast, cam-driven machines are ideal for the high-productivity manufacturing of mass-produced turned parts with short cycle times. And the machine concept offers even more: The G Series combines the speed and reliability of cam drives with the flexibility and accuracy of CNC technology.
Wide Range Of Parts
The G series multi-spindle automatic lathes cover the range of small turned parts production up to 20 mm in diameter.
- Fast cam drives, extremely short non-cutting times, and high spindle speeds
- Highest precision via Hirth splines in the spindle drum
- CNC auxiliary functions enable turning tolerances in the accuracy classes of CNC machines
- High flexibility with a wide range of equipment components
Reliable, Proven, Stable, and Precise
- Classic design of the cam-controlled automatic lathe
- Small footprint thanks to compact design
- Low-vibration operation thanks to a damping and thermally stable mineral cast bed
- High rigidity thanks to a sturdy frame construction
- Six or eight spindles in a precision spindle drum, positioned via Hirth splines
- Lifetime-greased spindle bearings with labyrinth seals for protection against cooling lubricant
- The “Schütte Block” ensures precise guidance of the front-facing tools
High Speed and Optimal Productivity
- Produce simple workpieces in short cycle times; cycle times of less than 1 second are possible
- Unprecedentedly short non-productive times starting at 0.4 (SG 18) or 0.5 (AG 20) seconds
- Productivity even at the tool edge: main spindle speeds up to 10,000 rpm
Systematic Quick Changeover
- Fast cam change thanks to the user-friendly, quick-change arrangement of all longitudinal and cross slide cams
- Fast tool change with precise positioning of the tool holders and interchangeability between spindle positions
- Pre-adjustment of the tool holders outside the machine, turning tools with height adjustment
- Drilling units with HSK interfaces
Additional Equipment Expands the Range of Applications
Schütte’s extensive range of additional equipment expands the application range of the G series toward higher part complexity. With optional equipment, surfaces, slots, threads, profiles, or cross-drill holes can be machined. In many cases, this allows for complete machining of the workpieces, thereby increasing accuracy and cost-effectiveness.
- Drilling, reaming, and tapping with independent tool drives
- Deep-hole drilling with internal coolant supply up to 100 bar
- Four independent feeds for mechanical long-turning slides
- Cross-drilling, including across layers or oriented to the bar profile
- Production of threads, polygons, profiles, and face milling
- Tangential finishing tool for tight tolerances
- Independent drive for stopping the take-off spindle and for reverse machining
Precision and Flexibility with CNC Functions
- Fast, robust cam technology combined with flexible CNC drive technology
- Flexible turning of contours and thread cutting with standard tools—on both sides of the workpiece
- Easy changeover for part families via CNC program
- Increased turning accuracy through automatic spindle error correction
- Input of tool wear and dimensional corrections in automatic mode
- Expandable to up to 4 CNC cross slides plus a CNC pick-up spindle on each machine
- 2–3 tools for rear-side machining, face turning at constant speed, and thread tapping
