The Gildemeister GD 16 is a CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning machine — used for precision machining of metal workpieces by rotating the material against a cutting tool to produce cylindrical, conical, and profiled components. Gildemeister is a well-established German machine tool manufacturer with a long heritage in precision turning and milling technology, serving industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general engineering.
This 2002 machine is offered in used condition from a seller in Germany. Its core capacity is defined by a turning diameter of 16 mm, a spindle bore passage of 16 mm, and a maximum turning length of 160 mm, making it suited to small-diameter, high-precision bar work. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 8,000 rpm, supporting the high surface speeds typically required for fine finishing of small components. Motion is delivered at a rapid traverse rate of 30 m/min, which keeps non-cutting travel time short and contributes to cycle efficiency. The total power requirement of the machine is 2.2 kW, and the machine weighs approximately 2.1 tonnes.
Control is provided by a GE Fanuc Series 18i-T CNC unit, a well-regarded conversational and program-based controller widely used in turning applications and supported by a broad base of trained operators and service technicians.
The machine is offered with a meaningful complement of accessories. Included is an IEMCA Genius 226-32 L bar loader, also manufactured in 2002, which accepts bar stock from 2 mm to 26 mm in diameter and bar lengths between 1,500 mm and 3,210 mm, enabling extended unattended or automated production runs. A chip conveyor and coolant system are also included, completing a ready-to-run production package for small-part turning operations.
