BOLEY BE42 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a bar capacity and spindle throughbore of 1.65 inches, powered by a 15.0 HP motor enabling a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM and a minimum of 80 RPM. The machine includes a tailstock and live tooling capabilities, enhancing versatility for complex machining tasks. Its dimensions are 92.5 x 62.6 x 68.1 inches, with a substantial weight of 7,275 lbs, ensuring stable operation. Control is managed via a Mitsubishi Meldas 635LCC CNC system, supporting precise axis movements: X1 (6.7 in), Z1 (7.9 in), X2 (4.3 in), Z2 (15.6 in), X3 (4.3 in), and Z3 (6.7 in). The lower and upper turrets each have 12 tool stations with driven rotary tools capable of 4,500 RPM, enabling multi-tool simultaneous machining. The spindle power is rated at 10.1 HP, with a counter spindle offering 3.0 HP and variable speeds from 60 to 6,000 RPM. Both main and counter spindles have a C-axis increment resolution of 0.001 degrees for fine angular positioning. Maximum turning diameter is 5.5 inches. The system requires a total power supply of 18.6 kVA, rated current of 20 A at 400 V, and includes RS232 interface for connectivity. Additionally, it features a 55.5-gallon lubrication tank for extended operation without interruption. This machine is suited for high precision, multi-axis CNC turning with live tooling, ideal for complex, small to medium diameter parts requiring high spindle speeds and precise control.
