Capabilities

The Gildemeister CTX 400 is a versatile CNC universal lathe designed for precision turning and complex cylindrical work. With a 420mm turning diameter, 635mm turning length, and spindle speeds up to 5000 rpm, it handles both standard and intricate jobs efficiently. The 12 tool positions with 6 driven tools enable multi-operation capability, reducing setup time and improving productivity. Its rigid construction and VDI 30 tool holder system support consistent, high-quality results across production runs.

Industries & Uses

Manufacturers in automotive, medical device production, industrial components, and general metalworking rely on universal lathes like this for shaft production, bushing manufacture, and custom turned parts. It's equally valuable for job shops handling diverse customer orders and established production facilities running medium-volume batches. The machine's flexibility makes it a core asset for businesses needing reliable, repeatable precision.

What to Check When Buying

When evaluating this CTX 400, prioritize spindle condition—listen for unusual noise and verify runout accuracy with a test bar. Request complete maintenance records, particularly spindle servicing and coolant system history. Inspect the chuck, collet system, and VDI tool holders for wear. Test all 12 tool positions and driven tools for smooth operation. Check the X and Z axis traverse for smooth movement and verify rapid traverse performance. Ask about any previous repairs or modifications, and confirm the machine's operating hours.
