The GE4i-150 from JTEKT TOYODA sets the standard for high-production OD cylindrical grinding where long-term machining accuracy is non-negotiable. This model is a core offering in the GE Series, which specializes in dedicated plain or angle head configurations for job shop environments demanding repeatable, tight-tolerance work. A crucial feature driving the machine’s performance is the patented Toyoda Stat Bearing, a hydrostatic bearing that ensures near-zero friction and superior damping, contributing to the machine’s ability to maintain high precision even after years of continuous service. Furthermore, the inclusion of a floating plate ball nut enhances positioning capability.

The GE4i-150 is built for substantial workpieces, offering a maximum swing over the table of 12.6 inches (320 mm) and an ample distance between centers of 59.0 inches (1,500 mm), capable of supporting a workpiece weight of 330 pounds (150 kg). The machine is controlled by Toyoda’s GC70 control system and features dual pulse generators for reliable operation and setup. Designed to meet accuracy requirements across various materials- including ferrous, non-ferrous, and high-temp alloys- the GE4i-150 is the dependable solution for consistent, high-quality cylindrical grinding.
