What the maker publishes about the current Grob G550A

GROB classes the G550a as a universal machining center for 5-axis work, combining three linear axes with two rotary ones. X travel is 800 mm, Y travel 950 mm and Z travel 1,020 mm; maximum axis speeds are 60, 42 and 60 m/min in the same order. The A-axis swivels through 230 degrees and the B-axis through 360. The table diameter is 770 mm, and table load is 700 kg without a pallet or 600 kg with one. A 900 mm interference diameter applies. At 12,000 rpm, the chip-to-chip time is 4.8 s. Machine weight is up to 21,500 kg, or 25,200 kg with the pallet changer. Controls come from SIEMENS or HEIDENHAIN. The motorized spindle versions listed use HSK-A63 or HSK-A100 tooling.

What to check on a Grob G550A

  • Control generation. The manufacturer specifies SIEMENS or HEIDENHAIN for this model.
  • Rapids and ballscrews. The manufacturer gives a rapid traverse of 60/42/60 m/min (X/Y/Z). Measure the backlash on each axis.
  • Tool-change time. The manufacturer gives a chip-to-chip time of 4.8 s (per VDI 2852, at 12,000 rpm). Time a tool change against that.
  • Table. The manufacturer gives a table size of 770 mm and a table load of 700/600 kg (without/with pallet). Check the table and its T-slots for damage.
  • Rotary axes. The manufacturer gives 5-axis axes and Swivel range 230 degrees A-axis, 360 degrees B-axis. Run each rotary axis through its range.
  • Rigging and floor. The manufacturer gives a machine weight of 21,500/25,200 kg (max., without/with pallet changer). Confirm the rigging route and the floor will take that.
