What the maker publishes about the current Grob G500
GROB's G500 is a modular machining center in the company's G-module line, with its spindle mounted horizontally. On the G-modules, the moving axes are split between the tool side and the part side. The main units are a horizontal motorized spindle, a tilting rotary table, a disk-type tool magazine and a scraper-type conveyor that carries chips away. Working travels are 800 mm in X, 950 mm in Y and 905 mm in Z. Axis speeds reach 90 m/min in X, 50 m/min in Y and 100 m/min in Z. The interference diameter is 900 mm. Chip-to-chip time is 2.6 s, measured to VDI 2852. Positioning is specified to within 0.006 mm in X, Y and Z. Table load is listed as 525 kg both without and with a pallet. The machine weighs 19,000 kg without a pallet changer and 22,000 kg with one. GROB states that the G-modules handle wet as well as dry machining.

What to check on a Grob G500
- Axes and way covers. The manufacturer gives X 800 mm, Y 950 mm and Z 905 mm of travel. Run each axis end to end and check the way covers.
- Rapids and ballscrews. The manufacturer gives a rapid traverse of 90/50/100 m/min (X/Y/Z axes). Measure the backlash on each axis.
- Tool-change time. The manufacturer gives a chip-to-chip time of 2.6 s (according to VDI 2852). Time a tool change against that.
- Table. The manufacturer gives a table load of 525/525 kg (without/with pallet (A-/B-axis)). Check the table and its T-slots for damage.
- Rigging and floor. The manufacturer gives a machine weight of 19,000/22,000 kg (without/with pallet changer). Confirm the rigging route and the floor will take that.
