BARDONS & OLIVER INC. SC-504 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Bardons & Oliver SC-504 is a rugged 4-axis horizontal CNC turning center engineered for high-production big-bore applications. Featuring dual independent spindles, each rated at 54 horsepower and 3,000 RPM, the machine accommodates workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 15 inches, turning length of 9 inches, and bar stock up to 5 inches in diameter. The chuck diameter measures 15 inches with a maximum swing of 23 inches. The machine employs a dual-turret configuration with two independent tool carriers: Turret 1 and Turret 2, each capable of holding up to 15 turning tools and 6 rotary tools, enabling simultaneous two-tool cutting operations. The rotary tool function operates at 2,000 RPM with 10 horsepower per turret. The 4-axis control system provides X, Y, and Z axis travel of 7 inches, with rapid traverse rates of 400 inches per minute and maximum feed rates of 200 inches per minute across all axes. This configuration delivers exceptional versatility for complex turning, boring, and milling operations on large chucker-style parts. The SC-504's column design combines proven reliability with high-production capability, making it ideal for shops requiring precision machining of heavy components with multiple operation requirements in a single setup, minimizing handling and improving throughput.
