Each of the six models in the BRM range is equipped as standard with a 24HP high-torque, vector drive, spindle with a BT40 taper.
This provides speeds of 50-8000 rev/min as standard, with options of 12,000 rev/min, 15,000 rev/min or 24,000 rev/min.

Rapid traverse rates of 25m/min and a positioning accuracy of +/-0.025mm over 300mm (+/-0.12mm over full travel) combine with a maximum component weight of 2270kg to provide extremely cost-effective large machine performance.
Repeatability on all three axes is 0.01mm, and machine construction features linear ways with axes protected by steel way covers.
Versatility is the hallmark of the BRM range, with options including a 24-station toolchanger, 4th/5th axis, electronic spindle, digitising and thermal compensation.
