High Rail Gantry Series with VTL Table for 6-Axis Milling



Vision Wide, 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, also offers a variety of metalcutting/chipmaking solutions.

The Vision Wide GS series offers the following solutions:

  • GSF series: 5-axis with HEIDENHAIN, Siemens and FANUC 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. Special 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 with HSK-A63 (HSK-100A is also available) for metalcutting. 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 machine tools. For additional information on the Vision Wide, APEC, Honor Seiki and Averex lines, contact CNC Systems to find a full servicing distributor in your area.
