limitless possibilities for milling parts made of the most diverse materials. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
This universal machine series is set apart by PRODUCTIVITY, AVAILABILITY and MAINTENANCE ACCESS. INDUSTRY
Individual machine configuration for
A compact design, maximum milling performance, a high visibility and optimized accessibility to the work area are optimized flexibility
just some of the outstanding machine features that make GROB a dependable partner for your production facility.
Thanks to extensive configuration options, our machining centers can be ideally matched to your requirements.

TOOL AND MOLD INDUSTRIES

Optimal machining strategies of complex

Unique machine concept milling contours

HORIZONTAL SPINDLE POSITION

The horizontal spindle position permits the longest possible Z-travel distance and optimum chip fall. AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Benefit from 90 years' experience in the
MAXIMUM STABILITY
automotive business
The unique arrangement of the three linear axes minimizes the distance between the guides and the machining point (TCP),
lending the machine considerable stability.

"TUNNEL" CONCEPT
The "tunnel" concept provides the basis, even with extremely long tools, for being able to swivel and machine the MEDICAL INDUSTRY
largest possible component within the work area without collision.
Best guarantee for high surface
GREATEST POSSIBLE DEGREES OF FREEDOM qualities
Three linear and two rotary axes permit 5-sided machining, as well as 5-axis simultaneous interpolation. With a swivel
range of 225° in the A'-axis and 360° in the B'-axis, the GROB machines offer the greatest possible degrees of freedom.
