Cubic GT mini: 2nd Operation Machine

GT mini is Cubic’s economical solution for common 2nd operation tasks.

Unlike hacked together CNC retrofits, GT mini is a complete package that comes with these features:

  • MITSUBISHI EZMOTION E60 high performance controller and Mitsubishi digital AC servo drives
  • High speed 6000 rpm spindle to provides superior part finish. 712 ipm rapid traverse gets you in the cut faster.
  • Meehanite casting base enhances rigidity and allows you to take more aggressive cuts. New design reduces vibration to reduce chatter and prolong tool life.
  • And of course, gang tool layout is proven to reduce cycle times and has shorter tool change time compared to tool turrets. It is a great platform to build semi-custom machines because adding unique tools such as grinding spindles or live tools can be done inexpensively. The machine can be tailored to your needs.
  • Automation included: Parts catcher comes standard.
  • Hydraulic chucking system included. Workpiece can be held using chuck or 5C collet. Both are hydraulically activated for maximum grip force.
  • GT mini allows you to use shop floor space efficiently, its small foot print measures only 48”x40”.
