New 5-Axis Portal Milling Machining Center

GROB Systems, Inc., announced April 16 the launch of its GP1350 5-Axis portal milling machining center. According to the international machining system developer, the GP1350 is suitable for use with large components and complex geometries.

The GP1350’s X, Y, an Z axes have a working travel of 55, 77, and 43 inches, respectively, and can operate on components with a maximum height of 65 inches, a maximum diameter of 69 inches, and a maximum load of 3.6 tons. To accommodate different operations, the device has a tool magazine that can hold up to 408 tools at a time, and it can optionally integrate pallet changers and storage systems. GROB says the GP1350 can also be fully automated with the addition of an autonomous loading system. The device’s universal milling head has an undercut of -2.5 degrees, which GROB says reduces setup time.

In a company statement, Derek Schroeder, GROB Systems Sales & Proposals Manager, emphasized the GP1350’s footprint. The device is 20” long, 18” wide, and 12” high.

“The GP1350 offers a practical way to machine large, complex parts in a compact, automation‑ready platform. It allows manufacturers to expand capability without the space and integration challenges typically associated with portal milling systems,” Schroeder said.
