| New standards in CNC turning |
 Maximum
productivity due to ultra short idle times combined with the highest
degree of precision. The exciting BE series has been developed to
cope with today's ever increasing demands and offers maximum versatility
for the future. Our customers will benefit from the advanced technology
and high performance capability of these machines. The revolutionary
design of the BE series is a result the combined know-how of Boley
and CITIZEN and
offers excellent value for money. The top-of-the-range Boley BE42
offers an additional turret over the BC42-X2 whilst retaining the
additional sub-spindle X2 axis. |

| Optimum Efficiency | |
The Boley BE42 is a high precision universal CNC lathe designed for efficient, economical production of both simple and complex workpieces in small or large batches. It offers:
One hit machining of complex parts is achieved using powered tools and a sub-spindle, together with spindle indexing a C-axis. The main and sub-spindles can be synchronised to facilitate alignment or angular relationship of front and back operations.
The construction of the BE42, with slant design of the large, robust, vibration-free bed provides greater swarf clearance for efficient production. |
 |
| Compact and operator-friendly machine configuration |
Good accessibility for the operator is allowed through the use of a large sliding doors. The transparent door provides a full view into the workspace. State-of-the-art built-in spindle and axis drives mounted on precision guideways provide super precision and response.
Finished parts are removed from the working area by the means of a workpiece slide which is controlled by the 'M' function. This slide and the workpiece receptacle both have a protective lining to avoid damage to the finished part. As an option, the machine can also be fitted with a workpiece conveyor.
| Microsoft Windows based CNC Control |
| The NC Unit MELDAS 635 LCC is dedicated to the BE42. This PC-based control is user-friendly using the Windows 95 interface. A clear 14.4" Colour LCD aids programming. All axes are controlled simultaneously and moved using a jog dial. It is possible to simultaneously specify speed for 4 spindles and edit 3 axis control groups. All primary and secondary drives are electromechanically powered on the BE42. The servo motors are 'intelligent' and communicate directly and independently with the powerful CNC system without any delay. The Mechatronic technology ensures a high degree of operational safety. |
|
| X2 Axis on Sub-Spindle |
Through the addition of an X2 axis to the sub spindle, dramatic savings can be made in terms of cycle time. This enables simultaneous, independent machining of the front and back end of the workpiece, on centre-working and turning / boring of inside and outside diameters.
The associated reductions in cycle time and increased productivity will ensure you maintain a competitive edge.
| Supporting Software Options | ||
| Remote monitoring and diagnostics | Allows the Service Team to remotely control your machine and provide you with support via. the Internet (if your company has a suitable broadband / leased line connection). |  |
