Gurutzpe Flat-Bed Horizontal Lathes

Gurutzpe's GL series flat-bed lathes feature monoblock cast-iron beds with V-shaped self-centering double guides, hardened and ground, plus a third support guide for maximum rigidity. The GLX series adds inverted V-guide technology with 4+1 guides in two separate zones (one for the tool carriage, one for tailstock and steady rests), allowing single-setup machining where the tool crosses the steady rest without stopping. The GLH series handles the heaviest applications with swing capacity up to 3,000 mm and workpiece weights up to 90 metric tons. All three series support multi-process configurations including milling, grinding, drilling, boring, and integrated measurement.

Gurutzpe Hydrostatic & TurnMill Lathes

The GH series hydrostatic lathes use pressurized fluid-film guidance for frictionless motion with superior rigidity and damping. The GHD (double architecture) and GHS (single architecture) models feature column-mounted hydrostatic RAM, automatic tool and head changers, and multi-operational capability combining turning, milling at 6,000 RPM, grinding, and internal machining up to 4 meters deep. The GSM TurnMill series (GSM10, GSM13, GSM16) provides full 5-axis turning, milling, and boring on a 45-degree slant bed, handling parts up to 1.6 meters in diameter, 10 meters long, and 20 metric tons.

Legacy Gurutzpe Lathes

Gurutzpe's earlier conventional and CNC models remain widely traded on the used market. The Super A, Super AT, and Super BT manual lathes offer heavy swing capacity and robust construction for general-purpose turning. CNC models such as the A-1200, A-1600 (in 2G and 4G configurations), and B-series heavy-duty lathes deliver proven performance with Fanuc, Siemens, or Fagor controls.

What to Look for When Buying a Used Gurutzpe

Gurutzpe machines are purpose-built for heavy-duty horizontal turning, and their robust construction means well-maintained units deliver decades of reliable service. Here is what to inspect on used units.

Inspect the bed and guideways first. Gurutzpe flat-bed lathes rely on V-shaped self-centering guides (GL) or inverted V-guides with sliding guides (GLX, GLH). Check for scoring, wear tracks, or uneven contact across the full travel. On hydrostatic models (GHD, GHS), verify that the fluid-film system maintains consistent pressure in every pocket and that supply lines show no leaks.

Test the headstock spindle and drive. Run the spindle across the full RPM range and listen for bearing noise. Measure runout at the nose with a test indicator. On machines rated for heavy workpieces, confirm that spindle bearings show no thermal instability under sustained load.

Evaluate the carriage, cross-slide, and steady rests. Inspect every steady rest for jaw wear and confirm smooth clamping. On GLX models, verify that the carriage crosses the steady rest zone without binding. Test cross-slide backlash and ballscrew play on CNC models.

Confirm the CNC control version. Gurutzpe ships with Siemens Sinumerik (840D, 840D sl), Fanuc (31i, 21i, 0i), or Fagor (8055, 8065, 8070) depending on model and vintage. Older units may carry NUM or Fagor 8025. Verify clean power-up, axis referencing, and proper function of display, keyboard, and handwheel.

Gurutzpe GL Series (Flat-Bed Lathes)

GL Models

The GL series is Gurutzpe's foundational flat-bed platform with a monoblock GG30 cast-iron bed, V-shaped self-centering double guides, and a third support guide. Carriages ride on Biplast anti-vibration material with centralized oil lubrication for both heavy cutting and precision finishing.

GLX Models

The GLX series is the most commonly traded Gurutzpe on the used market. GLX machines use 4+1 guides in two zones, combining inverted V-guide technology with sliding configuration. The carriage crosses the steady rest without interrupting the cut, enabling single-setup machining. Models range from the GLX10 through the GLX16 and GLX20, with multi-process milling, grinding, boring, and measurement options.

GLH Models

The GLH series covers the heaviest flat-bed applications with swing up to 3,000 mm and workpiece weights up to 90 metric tons. GLH machines share the GLX guide architecture with reinforced beds and higher-capacity drives.

Gurutzpe GH Series (Hydrostatic Lathes)

The GHD (double architecture) and GHS (single architecture) feature full hydrostatic guidance on all carriage axes with a column-mounted hydrostatic RAM. These machines support turning, milling at 6,000 RPM, grinding, and internal machining up to 4 meters deep, with automatic tool and head changers. GHD models serve applications requiring finishes below Ra 0.8, including rotors and turbine shafts.

Gurutzpe GS Series (TurnMill)

The GSM TurnMill (GSM10, GSM13, GSM16) combines 5-axis turning, milling, and boring on a 45-degree slant bed, handling parts up to 1.6 meters in diameter, 10 meters long, and 20 metric tons with automation for single-setup complete machining.

Legacy Gurutzpe Models

The Super A, Super AT, and Super BT are manual heavy-duty lathes with swing capacities up to 1,200 mm and between-centers distances reaching 8,000 mm. CNC models include the A-1200, A-1600 (2G and 4G configurations), and B-series heavy-duty lathes with Fanuc, Fagor, or NUM controls.

Special-Application Machines

Gurutzpe builds dedicated machines for specific industries. Railway lathes machine wheels, axles, and wheelsets with automated loading and measurement software. Aerospace landing gear lathes (based on the GLX16) feature a mobile headstock for turning and boring in a single setup. Additional machines serve composite material turning and polishing.

How to Sell Your Used Gurutzpe

Gurutzpe machines hold strong resale value thanks to heavy-duty construction, long service life, and demand from energy, steel, railway, and oil and gas buyers. GLX lathes, GHD hydrostatic models, and legacy A-1600 machines are in particularly high demand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Gurutzpe Machines

Are used Gurutzpe machines reliable?

Yes. Gurutzpe lathes are built with stabilized cast-iron beds, hardened guideways, and premium drive components for decades of heavy-duty service. The company has delivered over 6,000 machines worldwide since 1957, and well-maintained units routinely run for 20 to 30 years.

What CNC control does Gurutzpe use?

Gurutzpe machines ship with Siemens Sinumerik (840D, 840D sl), Fanuc (31i, 21i, 0i), or Fagor (8055, 8065, 8070). Older models may feature NUM or earlier Fagor platforms. The control depends on model, generation, and the original specification.

What should I inspect before buying a used Gurutzpe?

Prioritize guideway condition, spindle runout, carriage and cross-slide backlash, steady-rest jaw wear, and CNC control functionality. On hydrostatic models, verify consistent pocket pressure. On machines with milling or grinding heads, test each accessory spindle independently.

What is the difference between the GL, GLX, and GLH?

All three are flat-bed horizontal lathes. The GL uses a monoblock bed with V-shaped double guides and a third support guide. The GLX adds inverted V-guide technology with 4+1 guides, enabling the carriage to cross the steady rest for single-setup machining. The GLH builds on the GLX with heavier beds and higher capacity (up to 3,000 mm swing and 90 metric tons).

What industries use Gurutzpe machines?

Gurutzpe lathes serve energy (turbine shafts, rotors, wind components), steelwork (rolling mill rollers), railway (wheels, axles, wheelsets), oil and gas (threaded pipes, drill components), aerospace (landing gear), naval, paper and pulp, and general heavy manufacturing.

What Gurutzpe models hold their value best?

GLX flat-bed lathes, GHD hydrostatic lathes, and GSM TurnMill machines maintain the strongest resale values. Legacy A-1600 4G models with Fanuc or Siemens controls also hold well. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
