The GS:TE-LM lets you…

• Grind threads, splines, key slots, rings and other forms on one machine in one setup


• Grind using the latest superabrasives with confidence


• Optimize the dress and grind process by monitoring acoustical emissions


• Automatically correct wheel forms for helical path interference or generate forms using standard plated wheels


• Employ machine operators instead of journeymen machinists


• Offer your customers high value added grinding services to remain globally competitive.

Totally customized programming.
The menu-driven software (you need no programming) is pre-programmed for your exact applications. And you can count on Drake's System Engineers for full-time support and assistance as your needs change and the technology advances.

The total system is pre-tested at our plant on your parts. Then it's proved out for you and prepped for start-up.

The GS:TE-LM is equipped with a full 180° CNC controlled power helix.
