The GT-DS2X Difference: Dual-Spindle Speed, Rigidity & Done-in-One Versatility

Built to eliminate multi-setup handling, the GT-DS2X dual-spindle architecture delivers precision, speed, and versatility in one complete system — front and back work finished in a single cycle.

⚙️

Simultaneous Machining

Twin independently programmable gang tool slides paired with programmable Z-axis sliding headstocks allow simultaneous OD/ID cutting and back-working on both spindles.

💎

45° Slant Bed Casting

A single-piece heavy cast-iron base with a 14" rail span dampens vibration during aggressive cuts, providing extreme rigidity and thermal stability.

🔄

Twin 10 HP Spindles

Opposed A2-5 integral spindles run up to 4,500 RPM with hydraulic collet closers and full C-axis orientation down to 0.001° indexing.

🏭

GSK 988TD Control

Advanced dual-channel control supporting up to 10 axes and 4 spindles, built on an ARM+DSP dual-core architecture with high-speed GSK-Link bus communication.

📐

Compact Footprint

Pack heavy-duty twin-spindle production into a lean 106" × 65" footprint — maximizing your shop's revenue per square foot.

🕐

24/7 Automation

Turnkey ready. Integrates with bar feeders, robotic arm loaders, and vibratory bowl feeders — because both sides are finished in the machine, automating the load runs complete parts lights-out.

 

Done-in-One Dual-Spindle Turning — The GT-DS2X 10-Axis Gang Tool Lathe

Cut cycle times by eliminating secondary operations. The GT-DS2X turns, bores, mills, and threads both sides of parts up to 2" diameter in one continuous cycle. It is not just a lathe; it's a fully capable 10-axis dual-spindle turning center designed for complete part machining without a second setup.

Front-and-Back Balance: Independent gang tool slides and Z-axis sliding headstocks machine primary and secondary geometries concurrently — the part is handed off and finished complete.
Driven Tool Modularity: Optional servo-driven axial, radial, and Y-axis modules plus gear-hobbing attachments for milling, drilling, boring, broaching, and tapping in the same cycle.
Sub-Tenth Accuracy: C3 precision ball screws, P-accuracy linear rails, and a 14" rail span deliver ±0.0001" positional repeatability and 0.00005" spindle runout.
Accelerated Cycle Times: 945 in/min rapid traverse on X and Z, 29.5" maximum turning length between spindles, and automated material handling for true lights-out production.

The GT-DS2X has two spindles on programmable Z-axis sliding headstocks, each with its own independently programmable gang slide. The part is machined on the front side in the first spindle, handed off, and finished on the back side in the second spindle — so a part that would normally need two setups or a second machine comes off complete in one cycle.

Both spindles have an A2-5 spindle nose, a 2.2″ (56 mm) spindle bore and a 2″ (52 mm) bar capacity, with a 6″ chuck and hydraulic collet closer. Each is a 10 HP integral machine spindle running up to 4,500 RPM.

The GT-DS2X runs the GSK 988TD dual-channel CNC control, which supports up to 10 axes and 4 spindles. It uses industry-standard G-code, so machinists who already know Fanuc-style programming pick it up quickly, and it is supported by our custom Autodesk Fusion 360 post-processors.

Yes. Optional servo-driven tool spindles are available as axial, radial or Y-axis modules. Combined with 0.001° C-axis indexing, they let the machine mill, drill, bore, broach, gear hob and tap features in the same cycle as the turning work.

The machine measures 106″ × 65″ (2,700 × 1,670 mm), stands 74″ tall and weighs 7,500 lbs. It requires 20 KVA at 208–240 VAC three-phase. A chip conveyor is optional and can be mounted on the side or the rear to suit your floor layout.

The maximum turning length between spindles is 29.5″ (750 mm), with a 19.6″ swing over the bed and 7″ maximum turning diameter over the carriage. X travel is 20.4″ and Z travel is 15.7″ on each side, with 945 in/min rapids.

Yes. The GT-DS2X can be quoted as a turnkey cell with a vibratory bowl feeder, a robotic arm loader or a bar feeder. Because both sides of the part are finished inside the machine, automating the load is all it takes to run complete parts unattended.

It lists ±0.0001″ positional repeatability and accuracy, ±0.00005″ positional resolution and 0.00005″ spindle runout, built on a single-piece 45° slant casting with auto-lubricated linear rails and ball screws.

Every GT-DS2X purchase includes hands-on training from our engineering team in Santa Ana, California — the same people who built, configured, and programmed your machine. We cover control operation, G-code programming, tooling setup for both gang slides, and maintenance. Post-sale, our local SoCal team provides direct phone and remote diagnostic support, and we maintain a large on-site spare parts inventory for rapid dispatch.

1-Year Mechanical Warranty: Comprehensive coverage on all mechanical components — both spindles, sliding headstocks, gang slides, ball screws and linear rails.
2-Year Electrical Warranty: Industry-leading protection on all drives, motors, cables, and controls — because electronics are where most post-sale surprises occur.
Extended Warranty Available: For added peace of mind, we offer custom extended warranties upon request. Contact our Santa Ana team for details.
OEM Control Warranty: Added coverage directly from GSK on the 988TD control — a global warranty backed by the manufacturer itself.
Direct U.S.-Based Support: When you call CNC New, you speak directly to the engineers and technicians who build, integrate, and program these machines. No third parties, no delays.
Massive On-Site Parts Inventory: We maintain a large inventory of spare parts, precision ball screws, and electronics at our Southern California facility — ready for immediate dispatch.
Remote Diagnostics & Integration: Our technicians can troubleshoot, optimize cycle times, and resolve programming issues remotely to get you back to making chips fast.

The CNC New Commitment

"Purchasing a machine from an importer often means you are on your own after the sale. We have over 30 years of PLC development and CNC integration experience under one roof. We build them. We warrant them. We support them for life."

GT-DS2X Dual Spindle Gang Tool Lathe Custom Options & Upgrades

Configure the GT-DS2X to fit your exact production workflow. From standalone done-in-one machining to fully automated, lights-out manufacturing cells.

Because we engineer and assemble these machines in-house, we can tailor the GT-DS2X to solve your specific production bottlenecks. Choose from our factory-integrated options:

Automation & Material Handling

Maximize your spindle uptime and reduce operator intervention.

Turnkey Automation Cells: Quote the GT-DS2X with a vibratory bowl feeder, a robotic arm loader, or a bar feed system for continuous, unattended production of finished parts.
CNC New 320 12-Ft Bar Feeder: Pair the 2" bar capacity with our dedicated 12-foot bar feed system for high-volume, continuous production and maximum lights-out capability.
Finished Part Catchers: Safely separate delicate finished components from the chip tray to prevent surface damage.
Chip Conveyors: Side- or rear-mount chip conveyors keep your workspace clean and prevent thermal buildup during 24/7 runs.

Workholding & Tooling Configurations

Adapt to any part geometry with versatile, ultra-rigid setups.

Collet & Chuck: A2-5 spindle noses on both spindles with a 6" chuck and hydraulic collet closer.
Dual Gang Slides: Two independently programmable gang slides, one for each spindle, so front and back operations are tooled separately.
Live Tooling Packages: Optional servo-driven tool spindles in axial, radial or Y-axis modules for milling, drilling, boring, broaching, gear hobbing and tapping.

Control Systems

Standardize your shop floor.

GSK 988TD Control: Up to 10 axes and 4 spindles, fully supported by our custom Autodesk Fusion 360 post-processors.
