THE G-SERIES
The G-SeriesG-Modules are modularly built machining centers in three different installation sizes, designed for application in run production in the automobile industry. All sizes are available in single or twin-spindle machine versions.

The requirements for a modern manufacturing system are as diverse as they are antithetic: more flexibility, more productivity, lower investment costs and guaranteed future at the same time.The G-Series represented a development of a manufacturing system which is pioneering for the machine tool industry.
Modularity is the GROB standardThe manufacturing system (of the) G-Series is designed for maximum flexibility on both, the machine side and the process side. For this reason, the machining centers follow a strict modular structure. They are independent modules which, depending on customer demand in various different stages of expansion, are assembled using a modular system.

De-coupling of the axesThe development of the G-Series included splitting the mov-ing axes, for dynamic and stiffness reasons, into the tool side and the component side. With the aid of this decoup-ling, the machining centers can be structured in accordance with the modular principle to produce a very compact unit.
Modular structureThe basic principle of each machining module of the G-Series is the same. The module can optionally be fitted with one or two spindle slide units and with one or two spindles. They are arranged horizontally and have a cross-slide with X - Z movement. The component bridge moves vertically in the Y direction. Following this fundamental principle, the G-Series is offered in three different sizes: One or two spin-dles, with one or two workpieces, with, in each case, A, B or A / B axes.
The subdivision of the main modules allows having a modu-larized manufacturing process with reduced throughput times and minimized manufacturing costs. This leads to con-sistent reduction in the module diversity along with a variety of combination possibilities.
Optimal flexibilityThe G-Series can react rapidly and flexibly to tool changes or changes in type. The modules can easily be reused on the basis of this modular system.
High levels of economyThe G-Series is optimized for both, wet and dry machining. The entire system only takes up a small floor area and is optimized for short throughput times within the framework of the GROB production system.
Absolutely future-proofThe innovation cycles are getting more and more shorter and product changes need to be realized within a very short period of time, in the shortest time period, particularly in the automobile industry. These requirements are fulfilled excel-lently by the G-Series. It is particularly changeover-friendly and can be extended at any time. With its installation and commissioning effort which is reduced to a minimum, the G-Series is the flexible partner for all manufacturing tasks and for any process modification.

The machining centers of the G-Series are ideal for multi-spindle applications. Since the spindle slide moves exclusively in the X and Z axis, it is easy to configure with two or four spindles. This cross-slide structure also guarantees the highest levels of stiffness and stability, even with multi-spindle technology. Multi-spindle machines are the most economical facility for serial chip-forming. They offer both, maximum energy efficiency and minimum maintenance and operating costs.

SPINDLES
In order to provide optimum process structuring, there is a wide selection of spindle variants for every G-Module. As a preference, we fit spindles developed and manufactured by GROB itself, since these are matched to the G-Modules in an optimum manner. This is characterized primarily by good accessibility and simple maintenance.
GROB spindles are characterized by:• best mechanical features • Long-life cycle• universal applicability• maximum GROB quality • suitable for all common
coolants and lubricants
GROB spindle diagnosis: The GROB spindle diagnosis represents a special characteristic. This facilitates long-term opera-tion of the spindle in the above performance spectrum. In addition, we can avoid wear-related downtimes, because critical wear can be detected in good time. This means that spindle replacement can be undertaken at a planned service interval, thus considerably reducing the risk of unanticipated downtimes as a result of wear. At the same time we ensure that the maximum service life of the spindle can be achieved.

The structure of all machining centers in the G-Series allows an efficient loading of the work area from the front and from above. The Y axes takes on the vertical auxiliary movement required for loading. This means that an additional lifting stoke is not required. Since all loading equipment was developed and manufactured by GROB, optimum matching of the individual components is guaranteed. The entire system (machine, device, process and automation) from a single supplier ensures optimum conditions – without compromise.
Efficient loadingEfficient loading
Technical modifications reserved.
Cartesian gantry
The Cartesian gantry is intended for fully automatic direct loading of a G-Module from above and is also suitable for very large workpiece dimensions. Designed as an I or H loader, it possesses one or two vertical axes per carrier.
Agile gantryThe newly developed gantry is characterized by very high acceleration rates and velocities as well as by very high positioning accuracy and is suitable for loading workpieces of average dimensions. A further advantage of the system is the ease with which it can be adapted to new types of workpieces. The minimum number of components guarantees the highest availability.
Manual shift part changer
Loading processes which are decoupled from transport are achieved with shift part changers. The machine is loaded in two stages. The finished workpieces are removed from the machine with the free loading fork; the unmachined parts are then fed into the machine. This system supports loading from single and twin-spindle machines.
TOP LOADING
FRONT LOADING
Automatic shift part changer
The automatic shift part changer is generally equipped with a gantry. The workflow corresponds to that of the manual shift part changer. Loading with an agile loading gantry and an automatic shift part changer is the GROB standard for automated, decoupled loading processes which guarantee that idle time is kept to a minimum during the machiningprocess.
Direct loading with the kinematric gantry
The kinematic gantry with an articulated arm, is the most advanced solution of GROB for direct loading of G-modules and modular special machines. The arrangement of the X-beam in front of the machine allows a low stack height with simultaneous access to repair work above the machine. The stroke movement is performed by a specially developed articulating arm for GROB, in which torque motors are used as a drive. Therefore both serial as well as parallel work sequences can be loaded. And, as usual, at GROB, one-or two-spindle - machines.
Swivelling changer
The Swivelling changer decouples the transport from the loading process, which can be conducted manually as well as through a gantry. It is suitable for both, partial and fully automatic loading. A Swivelling changer can load two machines, one immediately after the other. They can be set up facing one another, which is a space-efficient solution.
