2000 Gildemeister CTX-400 Series 2 CNC Turning Center

The 2000 Gildemeister CTX-400 Series?2 CNC Turning Center is engineered for precision and flexibility in moderate-sized part production. With a 16.5-inch maximum turning diameter and 25-inch between-centers, it operates on robust X (8.7-in) and Z (25-in) travels. A 79-mm (~3.11-in) spindle bore handles larger bar stock, while its 12-station turret—equipped with up to six driven (live) tools and a full C-axis—enables turning, milling, drilling, and tapping in one setup. The system integrates Heidenhain Pilot or Fanuc 21i-T control for intuitive operation and fine programming control.

Unlike conventional lathes, the CTX-400 S2 excels in high-mix production by incorporating live tooling and C-axis capabilities—effortlessly transitioning from lathe to mill operations within a single cycle. Its compact footprint, durable construction, and optional features like tailstock, sub-spindle, and bar feeding systems make it ideal for aerospace, mold-making, and general manufacturing environments where efficiency, compactness, and versatility are essential.
