Horizontal Turning Center Features Thermal Compensation with Sensors



The New Generation Romi GL 250 horizontal turning center comes equipped with thermal compensation with sensors to maintain stable, dimensional results even during long working periods.

"The use of sensors provides accurate, real time compensation as opposed to compensation based on pre-defined algorithms," said a company spokesperson. "The result is more accurate machining over extended periods of time when the machine temperature increases."

The GL 250 has a maximum cutting diameter range of 11" (282 mm), and a Z travel of 23.6" (600 mm). The machine is designed for medium-to-high-production environments and features high power, torque and feed force, in addition to the rigid Romi-made monoblock base.

The Romi GL 250 is constructed with durable roller ways on all axis to produce high rigidity. A built-in spindle motor with a chiller incorporated and direct drive servo-motors results in high response speed, accuracy, less vibration and lower maintenance requirements. Chilling the motor increases life expectancy and produces less thermal expansion.

The tailstock is programmable and servo-driven. Position, speed and force are determined directly via the FANUC controller that reduces set-up time. The GL 250 comes with a 12-station turret with a choice of fixed tools with a Romi disk, driven tools with a VDI or BMT disk, driven tools with Y-axis or dual spindle with driven tools and Y-axis.

The CNC control features a FANUC Oi-TF with 15" LCD touchscreen and FANUC 32iB with 19" LCD touchscreen for dual spindle version machines and is the newest generation of FANUC's Series iHMI. It is designed to produce faster, more accurate performance for turning applications with separate areas on the main screen for planning, machining, improvements and utilities. Functions are accessible with just two clicks. It comes standard with an ethernet interface, as well as a compact flash card and USB ports.

Romi's GL Series turning centers are all produced in Romi's state-of-the-art facilities that maintain various safety and quality certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949 and CE.
