Conventional Turning

✅ External and Internal Turning – removing material from the outer or inner surface of a part.
✅ Rough Turning – removing a large amount of material to form a rough shape.
✅ Finish Turning – to achieve a smooth surface and accurate dimensions.

Lathe – Gildemeister STX 600 1996

Capabilities and operations

The Gildemeister STX 600 lathe performs a variety of high-precision operations, including turning, which allows machining of both external and internal cylindrical surfaces. In addition, the machine is capable of threading, and can produce external and internal threads with various profiles.

When taper machining is required, the machine supports taper turning, which is performed by adjusting the tool angle or through CNC programming. To create or enlarge holes of various diameters, the lathe has the ability to drill and ream.

Threading (thread cutting)

✅ External and internal threads – the ability to produce metric, inch, trapezoidal and rectangular threads.
✅ Precision threads – ideal for industrial applications where high accuracy is required.
✅ Special threads – the ability to produce threads with non-standard profiles through CNC control.

Milling and combined operations

Gildemeister STX 600 is used in a wide range of industrial sectors, including:

✅ Cylindrical milling – the ability to process grooves and complex profiles on cylindrical parts.
✅ Cutting grooves (grooves) – creating grooves for keys, segments and other mechanical elements.
✅ Making holes of various diameters – drilling and expanding holes through CNC programming.

Drilling and boring

✅ Center holes – for positioning parts in other operations.
✅ Drilling – using drilling tools to make holes of different diameters.
✅ Boring – enlarging and refining existing holes.
✅ Countersinking and chamfering – improving holes by removing edges.
