Enshu Enshu GE30H

The Enshu GE30H is the most compact horizontal machining center in Enshu's GE-series production lineup, built for high-speed machining of small aluminum and light-alloy components at automotive production rates. With a standard BT-30 spindle running at 13,000 RPM and a BT-40 option at 8,000 RPM, the GE30H provides the flexibility to optimize for either maximum speed on small aluminum parts or increased rigidity for moderate ferrous cutting.

The GE30H features 500 mm of travel in all three axes with a 400 mm work area diameter and 500 kg maximum workpiece capacity. While the work envelope matches the larger GE40H, the BT-30 spindle option distinguishes the GE30H as the speed-focused member of the family: at 13,000 RPM standard, it delivers cutting speeds that optimize cycle times on small automotive aluminum parts where material removal rates are limited by spindle speed rather than power. The BT-40 option at 8,000 RPM provides a more conventional capability for shops needing additional tool rigidity.

Rapid traverse rates of 60 m/min across all axes keep non-cutting time to a minimum, and the 24-tool magazine handles standard production part requirements. Through-spindle coolant and Enshu's proven chip management system handle the substantial chip volumes generated during high-speed aluminum machining. The thermally symmetric structure maintains accuracy across the long production runs typical of automotive component manufacturing.

As the entry point to Enshu's production horizontal lineup, the GE30H targets automotive plants and Tier 1 suppliers machining small components where the BT-30 spindle speed advantage translates directly to cycle time reduction. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for high-density production cells and FMS installations where multiple machines share a common pallet pool. The Fanuc 31i-B5 control provides the production management features and network connectivity required in modern automated manufacturing environments.
