Although economically priced, GT 112-E is loaded with productivity-enhancing features, including a dual U-shaped guiding channel with a patented sectional guiding channel cover, combined with a self-centering bar clamping system that matches the entire diameter range of the lathe.

The single pitch screw magazine keeps very small bars separated for consistent and reliable bar loading, and a generous magazine tray holds up to 30 bars with 7 mm diameter and under, and 15 bars with diameters over 7 mm.

Setup is a snap, taking two minutes or less. The operator simply inputs bar diameter, feed out length and guiding element diameter into the prompting, handheld, touch screen remote control (HMI). The GT 112-E then automatically sets pushing torque, forward speed and feeding length.

To insure continuous, reliable and safe operation, an electro-mechanical headstock synchronization system keeps bar and headstock movements perfectly in sync. For additional safety and to boost productivity, the GT 112-E employs a joint pipe spindle reduction system that completely contains the bar and eliminates the need for spindle liners.

Options include a 400 mm Z-axis bar feeder retraction system with safety switch that provides easy access for machine maintenance, and a 2-position adjustable retraction system with dual safety switches to accommodate non-guide bushing applications.
