GX-Series

GX-Series: Built for production environments requiring flexibility and throughput to maintain your competitive edge

The Bridgeport® GX-Series Performance Vertical Machining Centers and Drill/Tap centers are designed for flexibility and throughput and built for a production environment. Ideal for both job shops and OEMs, these high-quality, highly-specified and rugged machines were developed for applications that require speed as well as accuracy. The unique design allows the machines to overlap one another to better utilize valuable floor space and to promote cell manufacturing, ideal for automation. Add robots or an optional gantry system for increased productivity with virtually no labor costs.
