High Rail Gantry Series with VTL Table



Since its inception in 1999, Vision Wide has grown to three factories with over 500,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space. Vision Wide, a leading builder of double column bridge machines (3-, 4-, 5- and now 6-axis solutions) as well as specialized products for machining composites and carbon fiber, offers a variety of metalcutting/chipmaking solutions.

The Vision Wide GS Series includes the following solutions:

  • GSF Series: 5-axis with HEIDENHAIN or Siemens CNC controls, X-axis up to 8,000 mm, Y-axis up to 3,200 mm (DBC/port width = 3,900 mm) and Z-axis travel up to 3,000 mm.

Options of the GSF Series include a dust collection/vacuum system with a full top cover for machining materials such as composites and carbon fiber reinforced polymer. The 5-axis head offers speeds up to 24,000 RPM with 74 HP and HSK-A63 (HSK-100A is also available) for metalcutting. It is available with up to a 120 position tool changer and provisions for a floor level table that will allow driving onto the machine bed. Engineered options, such as a VTL table and other enhancements for manufacturing solutions, can be discussed with CNC Systems and the engineers from Vision Wide.

  • GSA Series: 3+2 Axis Series will offer the HEIDENHAIN and Siemens CNC controls with 1° auto indexing for both the B- and C-axis on the CNC controlled head. The travels will go as small as: X-axis 1,600 mm, Y-axis 2,700 mm and Z-axis 1,000 mm.
  • GS Series: 3-Axis Series will offer the FANUC CNC control with options to add a 4th axis rotary table. The travels will go as small as: X-axis 1,200 mm, Y-axis 2,000 mm and Z-axis 800 mm.

The GS Series is an addition to the 3-, 4- and 5-axis Vision Wide line of bridge mills, turn/mills and many other multifunction machines. The GS also offers a small footprint in length, width and height-with a large machining envelope inside the work area. This is important when trying to fit the most machine into the smallest footprint in a shop environment.

"Vision Wide builds 15 different models of high quality, but affordable machine tools," said a spokesperson. "With the support of its USA importer CNC Systems, Inc. and network of full servicing distributors, we are glad to work as your partner to help find solutions for making your parts."
