G200
The next generation of the turn-mill center with more performance at minimum space.
Insights into the G200
- With a high degree of rigidity, thermal and dynamic stability as well as very good vibration-damping properties, the G200 enables production with excellent workpiece qualities. The powerful milling spindle, in connection with the Y/B-axis running in hydrodynamic bearings ensures sophisticated drilling or milling operations – without the use of live tool holders – easy and cost-effective. Configure the turn-mill center INDEX G200 adjusted to your workpiece requirements.
- Up to three tool carriers with Y-axis usable on main and counter spindles
- Simultaneous machining with up to 4 tools possible
- Powerful and dynamic milling spindle (360° B-axis, max. 7,200 rpm, 22 kW and 52 Nm, HSK-A40)
- Economic complete machining of parts as well as of bar stock and as of chuck parts
- Incomparably large degrees of freedom in the large work area for turning-milling operations with up to 660 mm turning length
- Excellent ergonomics for quick setup
- Compact foot print an enormous power density for economic manufacturing

“The uprated-specification G200 has resulted in reductions in cycle times of up to 28 per cent. It is a direct result of the faster machine movements and more powerful control, as exactly the same programs are being used as on the older machine.”
– Ian Keeley, Senior Manufacturing Engineer
In the mid 1990s, Chas A Blatchford & Sons bought an INDEX G200 turn-mill centre. A recent reappraisal of machines on the market showed that the German machine tool builder’s technology is still the best production solution, 15 years on.
