Giddings & Lewis PT series plain table HBM
Giddings & Lewis PT series horizontal boring mills
Giddings & Lewis PT Series horizontal boring mills are the machine of choice for producing a wide range of parts. Flexibility is the hallmark of this series. Capabilities may be readily expanded with the addition of rotary tables or effective attachments such as contouring heads and programmable boring bars.
Advantages of table-type horizontal boring mills
- Substantial weight capacity – table handles parts weighing as much as 40,000 kg
- Rigid machining platform with one-piece column base and bed.
- High performance drive and way system provides both superior stiffness and allows fast traverse – 25 m/min
- Modular design – select machine features and capabilities based on applications. Choose from three headstocks – two or four-speed, 130 or 155 mm diameter
