BARDONS & OLIVER INC. 2SC-15/18 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Bardons & Oliver Inc. 2SC-15/18 Horizontal Machining Center is a precision CNC lathe designed for high-capacity turning operations with a robust spindle configuration. It features a main spindle capable of a maximum turning diameter of 25.000 inches and a turning length of 20.500 inches, supported by a 15-inch chuck and a maximum bar diameter of 5.000 inches. The main spindle delivers 50 HP at speeds up to 2,014 RPM, ensuring powerful and consistent machining performance. A sub spindle complements the main spindle with identical turning diameter capacity (25.000 inches) but a shorter maximum turning length of 12.000 inches, running at up to 3,000 RPM with 54 HP, enabling complex, multi-face machining and improved cycle times. The primary tool carrier is a turret enabling up to 12 turning tools and 6 rotary tools, with rotary tools powered at 10 HP and rotating at speeds up to 2,000 RPM. The machine supports simultaneous use of one cutting tool, operating on 2 axes with X-axis travel of 8.750 inches and Z-axis travel of 12.000 inches. It attains rapid traverse rates of 400 inches per minute across X, Y, and Z axes, with maximum feed rates of 200 inches per minute. This configuration allows precise and efficient high-volume production suitable for complex parts requiring multi-axis turning and milling. The overall design integrates heavy-duty spindle drives with high accuracy, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing environments needing extensive turning capacities and versatile tool handling.
