Axile G Series High Performance Gantry Type 5 Axis Machines are taking the world by storm and are fast becoming one of the bestselling 5 axis machines in the world! This hasn’t happened by accident, from the beginning, each model has been developed specifically to compete head to head with high end German and Japanese manufacturers, traditionally regarded as the market leaders in the field. Absolutely no compromises are made in the build quality of the G Series, an example of the machine quality is that the two main parts of the G series machines, the spindle and the table assembly are both sourced from Kessler in Germany and of the ultimate quality!
Axile have installed a total 400 G Series machines in Europe, 200 of these have been sold into Germany which speaks volumes about the G Series as an overall 5 axis package!
The G8 is an advanced, heavy duty multi tasking 5 axis vertical machining centre of unrivalled quality capable of machining a 1,300kg work piece, designed for producing complex parts at high speed, with a 5 axis configuration, complex machining can be accomplished in one set up drastically reducing machining time and helping you stay competitive.
A big feature of the G8 being a Gantry Type machine is the perfect U Shape closed design offering the ultimate in rigidity and stability and also providing unrivalled ergonomics for the operator to access the working area. The machine finish and design is second to none and when seen in the flesh it’s understandable why the G Series is causing a lot of headaches for high-end manufacturers in today’s markets around the world.
