Mineral Cast Iron VMC Series — Built for Thermal Stability and Lasting Precision
GL855 / GL1160 / GL1270 / GL1580 vertical machining centers use a mineral cast iron bed and column instead of grey cast iron. In practice that means less thermal drift and better vibration damping, which shows up as steadier dimensions and surface finish through long runs.
Four sizes cover X travel 800–1300 mm, Y/Z travel 550–800 mm, and tables from 1000×550 mm to 1700×800 mm — match the model to your largest typical part and fixture footprint.
Each part is engineered and QC'd against the exacting standards your equipment demands.
better thermal stability and damping than grey cast iron, so dimensions hold steadier on long cuts
less accumulated thermal deformation over a full shift
3-axis cooling keeps accuracy retention consistent across long production cycles
