Two vertical-spindle, bridge-type machining centres are aimed at the mould / die sector as well as at companies producing small to large batches of parts ranging from simple to complex.
The moving vertical spindle performs both machining and automatic loading/unloading of parts.
Short travels, combined with high rapid traverse drastically reduce idle times.
The easy access to the work area allows the operator to perform quick and convenient tooling-up operations.
The BV vertical lathes comprising ASA 6in (BV160) or ASA 8in (BV180) spindles can be equipped with driven tools, C- axis and Y-axis to carry out complete machining of complex parts.
Biglia's robust build (the machines weigh in excess of 5 tonnes) and long-term reliability, together with a specification which compares favourably with competitive machines - for example 48m/min.
rapid traverse, 18kW motor and 318Nm max.
torque, 150mm Y-Axis travel - combine to make these new machines a natural choice for progressive sub-contractors and tier-one suppliers alike.
