Multitasking CNC Bed Lathes for Turning Large Diameter Workpieces

Geminis GTI Lathe GT11i

The all-new GTi range of heavy-duty multitasking lathes from GEMINIS is now complete with the introduction of the Geminis GT11i. The largest among the GTi range, the GT11i offers 138" of swing over the bed and has the capacity to hold up to 330,000 lbs. between centers. The GT11i joins the GT5i, released in 2019 at EMO HANOVER, with 55" of swing over the bed and 13,000 lb. capacity between centers, the GT7i with up to 78" of swing and GT9i with up to 94" of swing.

"With the GT11i introduction, Geminis now offers a complete range of highly advanced heavy-duty turning solutions that fit a wide spectrum of applications in industries that include power generation, oil exploration, mining, iron & steel, construction equipment, aerospace and defense, among others," said Doug Schulte, Business Development Manager for Geminis importer Select Machining Technologies, based in Connecticut.

At the heart of the GTi lathes is a headstock with larger bearings to deliver 4-speed ranges. A new brake system features higher torque and torsional rigidity for improved angular positioning on the C-axis. An all-new rack & pinion drive system is standard for the Z-axis with an additional front guideway of the bed for increased rigidity. The distance between guideways of the bed also contributes to increased rigidity and allows for integration of a broad range of turrets and boring units.

New sheet metal guarding and a 22" CNC controller screen (optional) give the GTi lathes a modern, clean look while improving ergonomics and ease of maintenance. Cabling is now protected from chips as well as coolant, and wider chip conveyors provide optimal chip evacuation. A lower bed frame makes for easier access to set up and inspection and wider working surface for the operator. Stainless steel inner finishing is also now standard and LED lighting improves visibility within.

Adding to the structural improvements, Geminis Smart Manufacturing 4.0 enables operators and management to monitor key functions of the machine remotely on most smartphones, tablets and PCs. This includes the monitoring of energy consumption, temperature, total elapsed time running, current tool in use, machine position and alarms. Data collected provides statistical history for analysis to help optimize machine performance and schedule routine maintenance. Smart Manufacturing 4.0 can also be integrated with CAD/CAM and ERP programs without the need for additional hardware.

Geminis has also improved customer support to U.S. manufacturers with its new partnership with Select Machining Technologies, based in Connecticut, as its national importer and master distributor. Select Machining Technologies products are represented by Morris, Gosiger, Hartwig and Arizona CNC.
