BURKHARDT+WEBER MCR 1200 TT HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The BURKHARDT+WEBER MCR 1200 TT is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for heavy-duty production environments demanding superior accuracy and rigidity. This five-axis system delivers comprehensive machining capability with X, Y, and Z-axis travel of 94.488, 70.866, and 70.866 inches respectively, providing substantial work envelope flexibility. The machine features a powerful 49.6 horsepower spindle operating at maximum 5,500 RPM with HSK 100 and #50 tool taper compatibility, enabling efficient material removal across diverse applications. The 120-tool magazine capacity minimizes tool changeover time, enhancing productivity during complex multi-tool operations. The rotating CNC tilt table enables simultaneous five-axis machining with extensive A-axis swivel range and continuous B-axis rotation, facilitating access to complex three-dimensional geometries. The pallet system accommodates 39.37-inch width and 49.213-inch length workpieces, supporting efficient production cell integration and parallel part handling. The MCR series architecture incorporates hand-scraped sliding guideways in accuracy class G0 with dual-directional guide carriages, ensuring long-term dimensional stability and exceptional positional repeatability. Thermal management through active cooling maintains inherent machine stiffness and compensates for thermal expansion across all axes. The cast gantry column design provides superior damping characteristics and thermal inertia, critical for maintaining submicron precision under sustained cutting loads. Controlled by a Siemens 840D SL CNC system, the machine integrates rapid traverse speeds up to 60 m/min with precise acceleration control. This combination of rigid construction, advanced thermal compensation, and sophisticated controls positions the MCR 1200 TT as an ideal solution for precision aerospace, medical, and industrial component manufacturing requiring consistent accuracy and reliability.
