The G-Series 5-Axis industrial moving gantry CNC router is our most cost-effective platform for 5-axis machining of large parts commonly found in the aerospace, marine, and automotive industries. This machine is built to handle a variety of materials, such as composites, aluminum, foam, and wood. With its 5-axis head, you set up your workpiece once and machine it from all directions, eliminating the need for manual repositioning of the workpiece between operations. The flexibility, production capabilities, and lower price point of the G-Series with 5-axis capability yields a large table-size-to-cost ratio for an exceptional ROI.
With two zones on the G-Series, you can safely load material in one zone while performing machining operations in the other. Then, when the gantry switches zones to process the newly loaded material, you safely remove parts from the other. This technique is known as Pendulum Processing, and it keeps your production continuously flowing.
Integrate C.R. Onsrudās automated material-handling systems that fit the flow of your production. With customized linear and cell-based solutions, you get as much or as little automation as you need, from simple loading/offloading with or without pre-labeling to fully automated material storage and retrieval systems with integrated routers and saws. See also Automation for more information.
Add a second, third, or fourth spindle toĀ double, triple, or quadruple your production by performing machining operations simultaneously on the same machine. For larger parts, park one spindle to have access to the entire table. The G-Series supports up to 4 spindles.
A second gantry gives you the versatility equivalent to having another machine without the need for extra floor space. It provides the flexibility to produce nested or similar parts in tandem, or park one of the gantries and let the other continuously machine large parts end to end.

Customize the G-Series 5-Axis machine with accessories. Here youāll find ways to increase your productivity. Select your tool lubrication, eliminate measuring errors with automatic tool measurement systems, and more.
C-AXIS
With a C-Axis (aka 4th axis), you can machine at an angle, including on the sides of your material, to create complex contours (such as helixes), otherwise not possible with a 3-axis machine. This comes standard on a 5-axis machine.
CONTINUOUS C-AXIS
With continuous C-Axis, a 5-axis machine gets unrestricted rotational movement of the C-axis. Without this option, a traditional 5-axis spindle has to unwind itself after a set amount of rotation.
AIR BLAST
Bursts of air keep tools cool and remove debris and chips from the cut without the need for coolant.
ATLM SYSTEM (METROL)
Precisely measures the length of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls.
ATLM SYSTEM: TS27R (RENISHAW)
Precisely measures the length and diameter of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls. It also detects if a tool is broken.
ATLM: NC4 (RENISHAW)
Precisely measures the length and diameter of your tool, without contact, and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls. It also detects if a tool is broken. NC4 is application dependent; table constraints may apply.
AUTOMATIC GREASE LUBRICATION
Automatically greases your tools, bearings, and ball screws at regular intervals.
GREASE DRIP PANS
Drip pans (a.k.a. trays) catch excess lubrication that might otherwise cause contamination or other hazards.
LINEAR ENCODER (SCALES)
With noncontact sensing, linear encoders (scales) measure and monitor linear movement, position, and speed and provide that feedback to your CNC machine.
VOLUMETRIC LASER COMPENSATION
With volumetric laser compensation, machining tools are automatically calibrated and the machine makes any necessary adjustments.
Note: Depending on your machine, C.R. Onsrud sends out a third-party A2LA-accredited company to your facility to perform volumetric compensation.
Dust management systems connected to appropriate dust collection systems capture chips, dust, and other airborne particles that would otherwise be harmful to humans and the machining environment. We offer dust management systems that are geared toward the materials you’re machining and your production environment.
SERVO HOODā¢
With CR Onsrud’s innovative servo-positioned dust hood, we have improved upon the standard 2-position dust hood and given the CNC machine the ability to automatically adjust the dust hood’s height offset based on tool length, relative to the workpiece. This helps customers, who machine with a variety of tool lengths, get the most effective dust collection regardless of the tool length.
DUST STANCHION KIT
Designed for low ceilings and shop floors with layout constraints, a dust collection stanchion kit transitions dust to your collector from either side of the machine.
OVERHEAD OFFLOAD DUST HOOD
Targeted to the machining area, a dust hood suctions away dust and debris that can impact your health as well as the performance of your CNC machine.
AIR KNIFE
Engineered especially for fine or coarse chips (e.g., hard composites, fiber cement, metal, etc.), programmable air knives clear harmful debris from your linear guides.
GANTRY BAR CURTAIN
Safety curtains set an invisible barrier that triggers your machine’s E-Stop when crossed.
GANTRY ENCLOSURE
The gantry enclosure surrounds the gantry to protect you from potentially dangerous routing components and operations as well as the dust and debris caused by routing.Ā
LASER SAFETY SCANNER
The Onsrud Laser Safety Scanner sets an invisible barrier that triggers your machine’s E-Stop when crossed.
SENSING MATS
Sensing mats sense the pressure of an operator or object on them, alerting the machine to turn off.
Automated material-handling systems fit the flow of your production to make manufacturing processes more efficient and safe.
REAR GANTRY INFEED (SUCTION)
Using suction technology, the vacuum lift is a portable system that enables a single operator to safely and automatically load heavy materials.
STATIC PRE-STAGE TABLE WITH OR WITHOUT PUSHER
Automatically reloads the scissor lift with another bunk of material prior to the first bunk running out. Since your material load is always stocked, you never have to synchronize your forklift timing or stop production.Ā
PUSHER SWEEPER
The pusher automatically clears the machining area by moving parts to an offload table while the sweeper sucks up any additional dust and debris.
STATIC OUTFEED
A static outfeed table provides a work area for sorting and stacking parts without interrupting the machining operations.Ā
CONVEYOR OUTFEED
Safely and automatically moves parts (e.g., heavy and bulky ones) down your machineās production line for easy off-loading.
PRE-LABELING SYSTEM
Pre- or post-affix removable labels to parts for tracking, identification, or to provide descriptive details. (Most common for cabinets and sheet goods).
PART MARKING - INK
Applies marks (e.g., alpha-numeric), without contact, for part tracking. Marks can be permanent or removed based on how porous the material is.
PART MARKING - PAINT
Applies one or multiple colored paint for layout lines and shapes/symbols needed downstream (e.g., hot/cold water lines, nail locations, wiring, etc.) (Commonly used in the prefab home industry).
STANDALONE LABEL PRINTER
This auxiliary equipment can create and affix labels to parts for tracking and identifying parts for use in downstream operations or at the job site.
BARCODE SCANNER
Scan a barcode (machine-readable data) from a document and the machine automatically retrieves the specified program, tooling list, and set-up directions for that job.
ROBOTICS INTEGRATION
Devices are strategically incorporated into your production to automatically perform repetitive tasks, so you and your team can focus on projects that grow your business.
Onsrud Tooling offers a direct and convenient solution for purchasing top-quality cutting tools at competitive prices tailored to your Onsrud machine. Our extensive selection includes Drill Blocks, supporting simultaneous machining of evenly spaced holes with varying diameters. Additionally, explore our Aggregates, enhancing your 3-axis machine’s versatility to handle various angles and utilize thousands of specialty tools for unique projects (note: not all aggregates are compatible with every machine configuration; we recommend consulting our team for tailored recommendations). For intricate notches, miter cuts, and straight cuts on up to five sides of your material, our Saw Blades attach seamlessly to CNC machines, offering flexibility for both 5-axis and 3-axis configurations when paired with an aggregate. Unsure of your requirements? Our knowledgeable staff is here to assist you in finding the perfect tooling solutions for your needs.
AGGREGATE RING
The Aggregate Anti-Rotational Retention Ring mounts to the underside of the spindle, giving it the capability to pick up specialized tooling from the Automatic Tool Changer and preventing the aggregate head from rotating during machining.
90Ā° HEAD
A 90Ā° head gives you the capability to perform lateral machining operations on a 3-axis machine.
DUO 90Ā° HEAD
A Duo 90Ā° head gives you the capability to perform lateral machining operations using different tools in opposite directions on a 3-axis machine.
QUAD 90Ā° HEAD
With a Quad 90Ā° head, youāll easily add lateral machining operations to your 3-axis machine using four tools in each direction.
ADJUSTABLE ANGLE
An adjustable angle head allows you to set the angle at which you want to cut, for up to 5-sided machining on a 3-axis machine.
FLEX ANGLE
With a flex angle head, you can perform horizontal and angular machining operations on a 3-axis machine without having to reposition your workpiece.
MOULDER HEAD
Mill, plane, carve, and bevel, symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes on a 3-axis machine, with the addition of a moulder head aggregate.Ā
OSCILLATING KNIFE
Cut out sharp corners and radii from flexible materials, such as packaging foam, tool foam, plastic, or cardboard with an oscillating knife aggregate.Ā
SMALL DIAMETER SAW BLADE
(up to 6ā³)
The spindle automatically picks up and returns small diameter saw blades (up to 6ā³) from the station that is mounted on the machineās bridge or column.
Note: (Requires a 5-axis machine unless an aggregate is utilized)
DEDICATED AGGREGATE STATION
With a dedicated aggregate station, you can automatically store and retrieve specialty tools (such as saw blades) that are too large or heavy to fit in a standard automatic tool changer.Ā
These devices accurately locate your workpiece in orientation to the table and the tooling. To properly secure your workpieces, it is important to have the correct work-holding device for the material you are cutting. Proper work holding and material positioning ensure precise and efficient machining.
CUSTOM VACUUM ZONES
With custom vacuum zones, you tailor the size and location of vacuum areas for part-holding and can shut off sections of the table to concentrate vacuum to specific zones.
ONSRUD MATRIX GRID TABLE
The Onsrud grid table provides a grid pattern for multiple part-holding options, such as gasketing, vacuum pods, clamps, etc. and is compatible with most third-party products.
CUSTOM / MECHANICAL FIXTURING TABLE
Custom fixturing is adapted to hold irregularly shaped parts or panels that cannot be held by traditional methods.
T-SLOT
The channels of T-Slot tables are used for linear positioning of clamps and vices across the surface of the machine’s table.Ā
POD & RAIL
A pod & rail system directs vacuum through the pods for strong part-holding as well as raises parts for boring holes or cutting into the side of a part. It can also serve as a flat table.
LATHE (ROTARY)
With a rotary axis lathe or chuck, your machine operates as a turning center with live tuning. It rotates bar stock and long and skinny components to create chair legs, columns, etc.
