For Your Shop

Run aerospace-grade tolerances on a 5-axis VMC, or finish a complex turn-mill part in one cycle on a Swiss-style hybrid, at half the cost of premium-brand equivalents.

What This Solves

Built for shop-floor problems

The old way

With Ganesh

My customer needs aerospace tolerances on a 3-axis Mori. I keep losing the bid to a 5-axis shop.

✓

GEN MILL 5-axis machining centers hit ±0.0002" positioning at half the cost of Mori or DMG Mori. Get into 5-axis without selling the building.

Win 5-axis bids at competitive shop rates

I run a Swiss part that needs 4 setups across 3 machines. Operator scarcity is killing my throughput.

✓

GEN TURN multi-axis turn-mill centers combine turning, live milling, and drilling in one cycle. 4 setups becomes 1. Operator scarcity becomes someone else's problem.

Cycle time drops 60-80% vs multi-machine routing

I want CNC turning capability without paying for a Mazak Integrex.

✓

The GEN TURN 52-CS Y2 runs 8 axes with full C and Y on both main and sub-spindle and a 2" bar capacity, main and sub cut simultaneously at a fraction of premium-brand pricing. Same control philosophy, different price.

40-50% lower entry cost vs premium Swiss multi-tasking

Big pipe, long shafts, and 50"+ flanges keep going to an outside heavy shop and coming back late.

✓

Ganesh big-bore flat-bed lathes run up to 65" swing, 315" between centers, and 15" spindle bore, with Fanuc Manual Guide i and thread repair cycles. Heavy-duty 50-taper mills handle the plate and weldments. Bring the heavy work in-house.

Own the lead time on heavy shaft and pipe work
