BOLEY BC20

 
High Performance with Super Precision

Enhanced Capability

  • Increased bar capacity.
  • Built-in motors for main and sub-spindle.
  • The main spindle is equipped with a 3.7kW built-in motor.
  • The sub-spindle is equipped with a 1.1kW motor.
  • The motors enable the machine to achieve higher spindle speed with less vibration providing super precision machining with exceptional surface finish.

Increased Functionality

  • Rotary tools as standard.
  • 3 rotary tools are mounted on the vertical tool post for cross drilling / milling.
  • Main spindle 15° indexing is also provided as standard.
  • The standard rotary tool significantly increases the capability of the BC20-VI and the ability to complete complex parts in "one-hit".
  • The C-Axis control function is provided an option for the main and sub spindles. This function increases the efficiency of secondary machining with rotary tools.

Great Machining Flexibility

  • A Vertical tool post with 3-axis control (X2, Y2 and Z2) is provided. The vertical tool post on the BC20-VI is now equipped with a Z-axis.
  • In combination with the X1 and Z1 axes of the horizontal tool post, the new vertical tool post assists greatly in increasing machine flexibility.

Simultaneous Machining

  • Front O/D turning and back drilling operations can be performed simultaneously by synchronising and superimposing control between Z1 and Z2 axes.
  • Citizen / Boley have developed software to simplify programming of complex functions such as superimposing and simultaneous axis control.
