BRIDGEPORT GX-SERIES Performance Vertical Machining Centers - 2

GX-SERIES OVERVIEW Small Package - 24/7 Production The GX 300 and GX 510 machining centers are designed and built for a production environment. A unique design allows for these machines to literally overlap one another to better utilize valuable floor space and to promote cell manufacturing. The design allows access to only be necessary from the front and back of the machine allowing you to stack these machines side by side. This type of floor plan and machine design is perfect for automation. Add some robots or a gantry system and you can increase your productivity with virtually no labor...

Heavy Duty Linear Guideways, Ballscrews and Axis Drives Wide-spaced, oversized linear guideways provide optimum stiffness with less friction, less heat and less thermal growth for faster traverse rates, longer machine life and greater positioning accuracy. The linear way modules consist of slide members (guide trucks) and linear rails to provide a large load rating, stable accuracy, high rigidity and low friction. The wide spacing between all axes rails provides optimum stiffness for the overall machine structure. Oversized45mm (1.77”) ballscrews are featured on GX 1300 and GX 1600 VMCs;...
