The GL5i-100 is a high-speed, high-accuracy cylindrical grinding machine within the JTEKT Toyoda GL5-i series, designed for dedicated grinding processes in a continuous high-production environment.

Engineered for precision and 24/7 productivity, the GL5i-100 guarantees long-term machining accuracy. Its foundational design incorporates a hydrostatic wheelhead bearing and way system for stability and the patented TOYODA STAT BEARING and floating plate, ensuring superior dampening and highly accurate positioning. This machine is offered in flexible configurations, allowing for either a plain-head or an angled-head setup to suit specific production part geometries.

The GL5i-100 is tailored for long production runs of mid-length components. Its key specifications are:

• Distance Between Centers: 39.4 inches (1,000 mm), providing substantial capacity for medium-sized parts.
• Swing Over Table: 12.6 inches (320 mm).
• Maximum Grinding Diameter: 8.6 inches (220 mm).
• Weight Capacity: 330 pounds.
• Wheel Surface Speed: It operates at a high-speed rate of 11,800 SFPM (60 m/s), optimized for high-volume material removal and fast cycle times.

The GL5i-100 is an optimal choice for manufacturers requiring consistent high-precision grinding on medium-length cylindrical parts in a dedicated, high-throughput manufacturing cell.
