Under the motto '100 years of GROB', the Bavarian machine manufacturer opened its in-house exhibition on March 17, 2026 – and made a clear statement right from the start: With the new GP1350, the company presents a portal machining center that, according to GROB, is unique in this size on the market. Industry visitors have the opportunity to experience the machine live in action until March 20 and to be convinced of its versatility – from single parts to large series.
Universal and precise – even with large workpieces
The GP1350 is designed for the various manufacturing tasks required by industrial companies today: large components, complex geometries, and the highest precision. The GP1350 impresses with generous travel paths in the X, Y, and Z axes of 1,400 / 1,950 / 1,100 millimeters, which can effortlessly accommodate even large-sized workpieces. Components with a maximum diameter of 1,400 x 1,100 / 1,750 x 1,600 millimeters can be reliably machined, while the machine can be loaded with up to 3.6 tons. The tool magazine is designed for a capacity of up to 408 tools and allows for ergonomic and efficient setup of multiple tools simultaneously thanks to double row occupancy.
With the ability to integrate pallet changers, pallet storage systems, and autonomous loading systems (AMR), the GP1350 is fully automatable and suitable for production processes from single parts to large series.
The powerful spindles, robust table, and dynamic axis movements enable the economical machining of a wide variety of materials. The universal milling head with an undercut of -2.5 degrees significantly reduces setup times and saves valuable production time, while the compact design allows for the manufacturing of large workpieces on minimal floor space – a crucial advantage for modern production lines.
'With the GP1350, we are setting a new standard in portal milling technology. It combines performance, precision, and flexibility in one system and offers our customers a solution that allows them to efficiently and economically implement complex manufacturing tasks,' explains Christian Müller, Sales Management at GROB.
Versatile application fields
The GP1350 is applicable across various industries. Whether tool and mold making, energy technology, aerospace, or automotive industry – the machine allows for the economical production of single parts as well as large series. The large load capacity, precise portal structure, and automation capability provide users with stable processes, reduced scrap rates, and high production safety.
At the in-house exhibition 2026, industry visitors can not only experience the GP1350 live but also directly consult GROB experts about individual manufacturing solutions. This makes it clear that GROB believes: The manufacturing of tomorrow begins today – and the GP1350 is ready to shape this future. GROB will also showcase the full range of its universal machining centers at the in-house exhibition – from 4-axis to 5-axis machines – and will demonstrate live machining of various workpieces.
