PRODUCTIVITY: the fast indexing servo turretcombined with the high acce-leration of axes and spindlesenables the reduction of loa-ding/unloading and idle/times (higher performance at reducedidle times). The well propor-tioned machining area guaran-tees quick and convenient tool-ing-up operations and makeschip removal easier. > ACCURACY :the thermal stabilisation ofthe main heat sources, of thespindle and turret along with the use of linear scalesmaximises accuracy. The new range of BV verticallathes with integrated automa-tion is the result of BIGLIAstradition in the manufacture of horizontal...

The sturdy and fast indexing BIGLIA turret (0,1 sec.) is ope-rated by a servo motor. The 3-ring Hirth coupling assures maximum rigidity andthe turret casting is cooled to ensure the highest accuracy. In the versions equipped withlive tools, all the 12 turret sta- tions are prepared to acceptrotary toolholders to carry outmilling, boring and tappingoperations. > The tool probing systemmakes tooling-up operationssafe and quick thus avoidingthe need to manually input tool offsets. > The massive rigid cast-iron slantbed has been designed followingF.E.M. analysis in order to ensurehigh rigidity and...

The vertical moving spindleperforms both machining and automatic loading/unloading of parts. This solution allows a simple two-axis CNC-lathe tobecome an automatic machineto carry out unmanned machining operations.For loading and unloading ofparts, the standard BV confi- guration comprises a chain with location prisms for blanksand a simple conveyor forfinished parts. The loading sta-tion is equipped with a sprung platform to compensate anyirregularity of the blanks.Air blowers and cleaningdevices are provided to elimi-nate the swarf. >

The machine is equipped with digital systembased on a CN MELDAS 65S-L and drives byMITSUBISHI. This is a control unit featuring an automation interface that increases productivityand facilitates management. A cutting loadmonitoring system is available on request to carry out safe automatic machining with limited operator presence. >
