The GL4i-200 SWITCH is the largest capacity model in its series, a high-accuracy, versatile Universal OD Grinding Machine from JTEKT Toyoda. It is engineered for high-production applications that require the utmost long-term machining accuracy, particularly for grinding extremely long workpieces. It is characterized as an economical, triple-duty cylindrical grinding machine.

The GL4i-200 SWITCH features a highly flexible and manually adjustable wheelhead that can be set to Plain Head, 30-degree, or 45-degree angle positions. The 45-degree swivel capability of the Switch series is critical for optimized face grinding, as it increases thrust on the wheel diameter, resulting in faster cycle times and significantly reducing the probability of burning the workpiece face.

This model offers the maximum length capacity for the series, making it suitable for long components such as rollers, shafts, and spindles. Its key specifications are:

• Distance Between Centers: 78.7 inches (2,000 mm), providing extensive capacity for very long workpieces.
• Swing Over Table: 12.6 inches (320 mm).
• Grinding Diameter (Max): 11.8 inches (300 mm).
• Wheel Surface Speed: High-speed capability at 8,500 SFPM (45 m/s) for efficient, high-quality material processing.

The GL4i-200 SWITCH is the comprehensive solution for manufacturers needing a flexible, high-accuracy machine capable of handling the largest workpieces in the universal cylindrical grinding category.
