G720F

Machining center for frame structure and chassis parts

The two-spindle machine concept of the G720F enables customers in the automotive industry to machine two parts with high precision and in parallel.

Thanks to optimized and coordinated feed drives, you benefit from high dynamics and short chip-to-chip times.

Spindle versions

Besides the broad range of spindles, the motorized spindles designed and produced by GROB itself are the preferred choice for optimized process design. These are optimally matched to the G720F and have optimized quality features.

Motorized spindle versions

HSK-A63, 47 Nm, 12,000 rpm (standard)
HSK-A63, 47 Nm, 18,000 rpm (option)
HSK-A63, 83 Nm, 12,000 rpm (option)
HSK-A100, 186 Nm, 12,000 rpm (option)
HSK-A100, 340 Nm, 10,000 rpm (option)

GROB Spindle Diagnostics (GSD)

GROB spindle diagnostics is a system that automatically monitors the condition of the motorized spindle. Benefits are a prolonged motorized spindle useful life, reduced tool wear and scheduled maintenance.

GROB Chip-in-Spindle Detection System (SiS)

This system is able to detect at an early stage tool clamping faults caused by chips between the HSK plain surface and the spindle nose from 10 μm. So the machining process is optimized and rejects and damage are avoided.

Tool magazine

Single disk-type tool magazine

Double disk-type tool magazine

Control systems

Choose between modern and powerful CNC control systems from market leaders for the G720F.

Automation solutions

Loading systems

The G720F is designed for efficient work area loading. All loading devices are developed and produced by GROB, and so the individual components are guaranteed to be optimally matched.
