Ganesh Machinery Inc.

The seven-axis Cyclone-32 CS 1-1/4" Swiss-type CNC lathe features 28-tools with as many as 11 driven tools for complete part processing.

Grand Opening Showcases HeadquartersBIG Kaiser Precision Tooling welcomed customers and partners to its new headquarters’ grand opening on April 29-30.

Ganesh’s 25th anniversary catalog details key features, options, specifications and benefits of each of its screw machines.

The Cyclone 52-TTMY CNC mill-turn machine comes with 32-tools and a Mitsubishi control.

 The Cyclone 52-CS CNC mill-turn center, with 32 tools and a Mitsubishi control features full bar, chuck and shaft machining capability with 2.0” bar capacity and 6” chucks.

It often takes seeing a machine in action to conjure up a solution to a shop’s problem. This was the case for Steve Walters, an engineer at TriContinent Scientific Inc.

Firearm manufacturers are increasing profits with Ganesh machines, finishing complex parts in one operation, the company says. The Cyclone-32 CS completes what were previously three- and four-operation jobs in just one operation, with perfectly timed features on parts such as firing pins, extractors, breech chambers, gap pistons, flash suppressors, firing mechanisms and even some barrels machined complete in one operation.

The boxway 5X-250 VMC from Ganesh Machinery is suited for machine complex, multi-surfaced parts out of difficult-to-machine materials. The small, five-axis VMC weighs more than 2 tons and features heavily ribbed boxway construction to dampen cutting vibration.

Ganesh Machinery’s 5X-160 five-axis CNC machining center with a Tsudakoma trunnion five-axis rotary table is standard with rugged boxways, high-speed look ahead, chip wash and spindle air blast. This combination offers the capability to handle complicated parts and the ability to combine operations. The Cyclone-32 CS seven-axis dual-spindle CNC turn/mill center is also available from the company.

It was a tough decision, but once this company moved forward with the implementation of CNC, it quickly realized the benefits in production times, tolerances and finishes. Most important, though, was the added secondary-op capabilities that brought consistency to the personnel requirements of the shop.

The Ganesh Cyclone-32 GTS has dual gang slides, so the main and the subspindles can work independently. This will enable shorten cycle times because both spindles are working together.

Featuring a Fanuc CNC control and eight-station turret, Ganesh’s Miniturn is suited for small parts turning and milling. When machining small parts, the company’s lathe saves space and electricity when compared to large CNC turning centers. The lathe is equipped with a 5" chuck and 32-mm capacity.

Ganesh's Cyclone-25 CS is a seven-axis, 1. 0 (26 mm) bar diameter sliding headstock CNC lathe without a guide bushing, which facilitates faster setups, greater workpiece concentricity and superior cutting rigidity compared to conventional Swiss-style lathe, according to the company. The CNC lathe's configuration also allows for shorter cycle times because the counter spindle can work simultaneously with the main spindle.

After a machine setback in this shop, management got in touch with Ganesh Machinery Inc. (Chatsworth, California). This company offered a selection of machines that seemed to fit well with the needs of G&L, so the two companies worked out a deal on a multitask lathe with bar feeder—the model GH-25M.

The Cyclone-25 CS is a seven-axis sliding headstock CNC turning center with a counter spindle. Armed with up to 27 cutting tools and the ability to do simultaneous work with the main spindle and the counterspindle the Cyclone-25 CS allows a user to complete parts in one setup. Do front end, back end, turning and milling work in one setup.
