AI Description
BetaCapabilities
The Gildemeister NEF plus 500 is a CNC cycle lathe designed for precision metal turning and machining operations. With a maximum turning length of 1500mm and swing diameter of 500mm over the bed, it handles mid-sized components efficiently. The machine delivers 2800 rpm spindle speed with 1050 Nm torque, capable of feed rates up to 5 m/min and rapid traverse speeds of 6–8 m/min. Its 70mm spindle bore and 180mm tailstock quill stroke provide versatility for various turning tasks, from cylindrical work to complex stepped components.
Industries & Uses
This type of lathe is essential for job shops, contract manufacturers, and small to medium production facilities working with steel, aluminum, and other metals. Industries including automotive suppliers, hydraulics manufacturers, and precision engineering commonly use these machines for producing shafts, bushings, fittings, and custom components. The CNC automation means minimal setup time between jobs and consistent repeatability.
What to Check When Buying
When evaluating this 1996 model with nearly 80,000 operating hours, inspect spindle bearings and runout carefully—spindle wear directly affects precision. Request complete maintenance records, especially regarding recent spindle servicing, ballscrew condition, and chuck overhauls. Check the Z-axis travel smoothness and verify DRO (digital readout) functionality. Ask about coolant system history and whether any major components have been rebuilt. Have an experienced technician perform a test run before committing to purchase.
