The connecting rod code 3711115 is a mechanical component designed for the central block actuation system of Gildemeister GM35 and GM35AC multi-spindle automatic lathes. This element functions as the linkage between the actuation mechanism and the lever controlling the movement of the machine’s central block assembly.

The central block is one of the most versatile operating stations of multi-spindle automatic lathes. The hexagonal block allows the installation of various tooling systems used during machining operations. Typical configurations include workpiece support roller holders for stabilizing the part during turning operations, front tool holders for rough machining, rotating front milling units for front milling operations and tools used for screwdriver slot cutting processes.

The connecting rod transmits motion precisely between the drive mechanism and the central block assembly, ensuring stable kinematic behavior and minimizing transmission play. The precision of the articulation holes and the quality of the mating surfaces guarantee smooth and controlled movement of the actuation system, which is essential for maintaining stable machining conditions.

During machine operation the component is subjected to dynamic stresses generated by the continuous movement of the control mechanism. For this reason the connecting rod must ensure high mechanical strength and dimensional stability over time, preserving the reliability of the central block actuation system.

Maintaining this component in proper condition contributes significantly to machining precision and operational stability in Gildemeister GM35 and GM35AC multi-spindle automatic lathes used in high-productivity industrial environments.
