Giana's Deep Hole Boring Lathes
Today weâre diving back into our machine spotlight series by shining the light on another of our exclusive Giuseppe Giana products. Previously weâve explored Gianaâs GG-Tronic multi-tasking lathes. In this edition weâll look at their global leading deep hole boring lathes, the GGB. This machine, which comes in several sizes and configurations, boasts an ultra-rigid body that maintains precision no matter the size or heft of the project. This CNC model lathe is particularly matched for bottle boring, a process typically used on aerospace landing gear and actuator applications. The GGBâs unique features and design make it perfectly suited for the Aerospace, Power, Oil, and Naval sectors.
The GGBâs Innovative Design
Gianaâs decades in the machine tool industry have led them to develop a unique bed way configuration which ultimately inhibits any vibration on the carriage or tool bed. Giana has equipped their GGB with 2 separated beds, each with multiple anchoring/fixing points. This ensures an increase in the machineâs stability and accuracy throughout the entirety of the machineâs life. The lathes cross-slides are placed lower than the rear-side ways. Because of this there is no hindrance of the cross slides full turning capacity/swing over bed dimension. Therefore, you can achieve the same results as a larger swing lathe.
The lathes high quality X and Z axes roller guides ensure extremely fluid axes movements. The flat guides are configured to be only on the tailstockâs bed. The distribution of force is therefore not affected because itâs made on the high load capacity front bed guides of the carriage. Furthermore, future maintenance becomes easier because this deign enables the user to conveniently change a part of the guide without demounting the complete carriage, eliminating the need to re-adjust the conical gibs.
The Ergonomic GGB
The structure of the GGBâs bed ways translates to a more convenient design that easily accommodates the operatorâs tasks of measuring, loading and/or unloading the workpiece. Due to the separation of the front and rear ways, the operatorâs normal position (atop the carriage) is a more comfortable, ergonomically designed space. This results in the operator being closer to the part, requiring less reach for random tasks, resulting in less fatigue for the operator.
Options For The GGB
At Lagun we like to make sure you leave with a machine perfectly matched for your every need. Our team of machine tool experts are happy to work with you to add any available options to any machine youâre interested in. One option included with the GGB is the addition of a vacuum system to the enclosure, which allows for a cleaner and healthier workspace for operator safety. Contact us today to learn more about this sophisticated machines and all itâs optional features and accessories.
