This Gildemeister CTX 310 ECO is a used CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — built in 2009 and currently located in Germany. CNC lathes are precision machine tools used to turn, face, bore, and thread metal workpieces by rotating the part against a cutting tool under computer numerical control. Gildemeister is a well-established German manufacturer of high-precision CNC machine tools, serving industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical technology, and general engineering.
The machine is equipped with a FANUC 0i-TC control system, a widely used and well-supported CNC platform suited to turning operations. The spindle accepts workpieces up to 200 mm turning diameter and handles a turning length of 400 mm, with a swing diameter over the bed of 330 mm. The spindle bore measures 68 mm, accommodating bar stock of that diameter, and the spindle speed ranges up to 5,000 rpm. Axis travels are 160 mm in X and 450 mm in Z. The machine also features a C-axis with a resolution of 0.001°, enabling precise angular positioning of the spindle for milling and drilling operations on the workpiece.
Live tooling capability is a notable feature: the turret carries twelve tool stations in a single VDI 30 turret, of which six positions are driven. The driven tools run at up to 4,500 rpm, allowing milling, drilling, and tapping to be performed in a single setup without re-fixturing. This combination of turning and driven tooling makes the machine well suited to complex, near-complete machining of rotational parts.
The total power requirement is 16.5 kW. The machine weighs approximately 3.2 tonnes and has overall dimensions of 3.0 m × 1.46 m × 2.10 m (L × W × H), giving an indication of the floor space and infrastructure required for installation.
Included with the machine are a hydraulic three-jaw chuck with a 200 mm diameter, a chip conveyor, and a coolant system.
