Automatic description (AI-Generated)

This Giddings and Lewis MC 50 is a twin pallet horizontal machining centre designed for high precision and heavy-duty machining tasks. Manufactured in 1987, this robust machine features two pallets, each measuring 1,219 mm by 1,245 mm, capable of handling a maximum part weight of up to 5,000 kg. The machine dimensions are substantial, with a length of 11,679 mm, width of 6,502 mm, and height of 4,423 mm, and it weighs approximately 40,329 kg.

Equipped with a 60-station automatic tool changer (ATC), the machine supports a wide range of tooling options for versatile machining operations. The spindle has a diameter of 130 mm with a 50 ISO taper and offers a rotation speed range from 5 to 1,500 rpm powered by a 30 kW motor. The spindle travel along the Z axis is 915 mm, while the horizontal (X) travel is 1,800 mm and vertical (Y) travel is 1,500 mm, allowing for precise and flexible machining.

The machine features high-pressure through-spindle coolant delivery at 25 bar, enhancing tool life and machining quality. It is equipped with a Renishaw probing system and controlled by a G&L 8000A CNC system, ensuring high tolerance and accuracy. The pallet changer provides rotation increments of 0.001 degrees, allowing for fine positioning with up to 360,000 positions.

Feed rates range from 1 mm/min to rapid traverse rates of 4,500 mm/min in X and Y axes and 3,000 mm/min in Z and W axes. The electrical supply requirement is 415V, 3-phase, 50 Hz.

The machine is enclosed within a safety fence featuring transparent panels, contributing to operator safety. The surrounding area and the machine itself appear clean and well-maintained. An overhead crane system is installed above the machine for handling heavy components, and there is forklift access nearby. The machining centre includes a vertical machining head labeled 'FRAESER' and has stairs and a platform for convenient access to the control area. Ventilation fans and a control cabinet are also part of the setup, ensuring efficient operation and cooling.

Overall, this Giddings and Lewis MC 50 horizontal machining centre is a high-capacity, precise, and well-equipped machine suitable for demanding industrial applications.
