Used GIDDINGS & LEWIS 70A-DP5-T #141867 for sale

GIDDINGS & LEWIS 70A-DP5-T is a stationary machine tool designed for heavy-duty machining operations. It has a column-type construction, featuring a rigidly supported worktable, saddle, and column. The work envelope is a 70 inch swing diameter, a 5 foot turning length, and a 5HP/level spindle drive. The spindle is belt driven and can be coupled to either a motor drive or geared to a motor drive. The machine tool is horizontally configured with a table and column being located in the same plane. This allows for the production of larger parts than the vertical configuration machines, while simultaneously increasing the rigidity of the machine. The design of 70A-DP5-T includes an adjustable guideway and a T-slot table. The adjustable guideway ensures accuracy and repeatable precision by eliminating play between the saddle and table. The T-slot table is designed specifically for heavy-duty, high-volume job shops and offers repeatable accuracy, quick indexing, and easy setup. The drive equipment of GIDDINGS & LEWIS 70A-DP5-T features a five-level, spindle speed selection. The speed range is from 7.5-1000 RPM. The drive system is designed for high torques, high speed accuracy, rigidity, low acceleration, and reliability. The spindle is also driven by a two-speed gearbox, and provides full capability in both low speed and high speed operation. The control unit of 70A-DP5-T has a proven track record of reliability and usability. It features a digital readout which displays the coordinate data generated by the control unit, in addition to a series of plain-English programming displays. The programming feature of the control unit allows for the convenient input of commands and information. The machine's durability is second to none. It is constructed with heavy-duty cast iron components and has a hardened, stress-relieved-grinded guideway. This design makes the machine exceptionally rigid and provides superior cutting performance. In conclusion, GIDDINGS & LEWIS 70A-DP5-T is designed for heavy-duty machining operations and provides improved quality and productivity. Its rigid column-type construction and robust drive machine enable reliable performance, as well as excellent repeatable accuracy. Its five-level spindle speed selection provides versatility, and its two-speed gearbox facilitates efficient operation. Overall, 70A-DP5-T is an ideal machine tool for production shops in need of reliable and accurate machining.
