MC 42 – MC 82 – MC 120 MULTICENTER Multi-functional machine systems for multiple processing Market forces create a continuous demand for new products and a multitude of variants. The manufacture of complete sub-assemblies is becoming a standard requirement of virtually every order. With the BIHLER MULTICENTER series, a generation of machines designed to meet this requirement is now available. The MULTICENTER offer an extremely high level of flexibility and productivity. Most different processing techniques – punching, bending, forming, tapping, screw insertion, and many more – may be variably automized on one basic machine. For complex manufacturing solutions, each machine is provided with two fully functional operating planes, namely a radial and a linear processing face, which may be used independently of one another or combined with one another for flexible part or sub-assembly production.

Further advantages of the MULTICENTER – Two processing faces for radial and linear tooling concepts – Production of complex products with simultaneous production of the individual parts – Universally usable for longitudinal and transverse production – Large opening in the centre for variable transverse movements – Unrestricted access to all modules and tool stations facilitates setting up, adjustment and servicing Multicenter MC 42 – High degree of availability owing to rapid tool changeovers and short resetting times – Expansion of the machine concept and linkage with other production facilities...
