The Gildemeister CTX 500 is a CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a CNC turning centre — designed for precision metal turning operations including facing, boring, threading, and contouring. Gildemeister is a well-established German machine tool manufacturer with a long history of producing high-precision CNC turning and milling machines for the metalworking and manufacturing industries.
This particular listing represents an unusual opportunity: two machines are available, and they are offered together as a single purchase only — both units must be bought at the same time. The machines date from 1995 and are located in the Netherlands, available for immediate collection.
The working envelope is substantial. A turning length of 2,000 mm allows the machining of long workpieces, while a swing over bed of 600 mm and a swing over guides of 420 mm define the rotational clearance above the bed and slide respectively. Cross travel stands at 275 mm, working height is 1,060 mm, and the spindle head measures 220 mm. The spindle bore of 85 mm determines the maximum bar stock diameter that can be passed through the headstock.
Each machine is equipped with six turrets and uses a VDI 40 tooling interface with a 25 × 25 mm tool shank specification — a widely used industrial standard that ensures broad compatibility with available tooling. The chuck fitted is an SMW Autoblok 315 BH with a chuck diameter of 250 mm, suitable for gripping a wide range of workpiece diameters. The control system is supplied by Grundig. The machines are offered without tooling included.
Both units are described as used and in condition consistent with their age. Availability is immediate.
