Enshu GE Series – Horizontal Machining Centers

Blazing Speed of 3,543 IPM Rapids on All 3 Axes

High-speed, high-precision CNC horizontals built for production efficiency and accuracy.

The Enshu GE Series is engineered to support metal cutting manufacturers that demand repeatability, speed, and uptime. These high-performance horizontal machining centers feature traveling column designs, rotary automatic pallet changers, and a range of spindle options suited for both light-duty aluminum and heavy-duty steel or alloy applications. With pallet sizes ranging from 400mm to 630mm and a choice of CAT-40 or CAT-50 taper spindles, the GE Series offers exceptional flexibility for a wide variety of production environments.

Designed for aggressive metal removal, fast tool changes, and continuous operation, the GE Series is ideal for manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, and general machining industries who want a horizontal platform that improves throughput while maintaining consistent precision across every shift.

Key Features

  • Rapid Axis Motion
    Up to 3,543 IPM (90 m/min) on the X, Y, and Z axes for GE460H and GE480H models, reducing non-cut time and maximizing throughput.
  • Rotary Automatic Pallet Changer (APC)
    Standard on all GE Series machines: 7 seconds for 400mm models, 10 seconds for 500mm, and 15 seconds for 630mm. Smooth and reliable operation ensures continuous production with minimal manual handling.
  • High-Power Spindles
    CAT-40 Big Plus (50 HP / 15,000 RPM) or CAT-50 Big Plus (60 HP / 10,000 RPM) options allow you to tailor cutting power and torque to your application. Integral motors with thermal control deliver consistent performance under load.
  • Thermal Stability and Accuracy
    Refrigerated ballscrews, temperature-controlled spindles, and motor mounts maintain dimensional accuracy across long production runs and fluctuating ambient temperatures.
  • Full B-Axis Indexing
    Precision indexing to 0.001ยฐ provides multi-face machining capability, eliminating secondary setups and improving overall part accuracy.
  • Flexible Tooling Options
    Tool magazines from 60 tools standard up to 396-tool matrix options are available, with tool-to-tool change times as low as 1.2 seconds depending on configuration.
  • Automation Integration Ready
    The GE Series is built to scale โ€” from standalone setups to multi-pallet systems, robot loading, or full flexible manufacturing cells.

With robust cast-iron construction, ultra-fast pallet exchange, and versatile spindle choices, the Enshu GE Series empowers manufacturers to run longer, cut faster, and maintain tighter tolerances without compromise. Backed by Absolute Machine Toolsโ€™ engineering support, service team, and automation specialists, the GE Series is a productivity-driven investment for shops that demand reliable output shift after shift.
