Since its origins in 1957, GURUTZPE has
designed, built, and serviced more than
6000 custom horizontal lathes for the
widest range of demanding industrial
applications.
Thanks to GURUTZPE’s extensive
experience in the tool machine sector, and
to it having taken turning operations to a
higher level, their machines incorporate a
series of machining technologies
GLX Series
GLURUTZPE GLX Heavy Duty
Horizontal Lathe with 4+1 guides.
GURUTZPE GLX Series
​
GURUTZPE GLX flat bed lathe models combine inverted “V” guide technology in a single machine with the traditional sliding configuration.
The machine has 4+1 guides in two separate areas, one for the tool carriage and another for the tail-stock center and steady rests. Thus, the machine is capable of machining the piece in a single set up, allowing the tool to cross the steady rest without stopping work. All this results in a considerable saving in additional commissioning and cycle times.
