2018 EUROTECH B436SY2 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Eurotech B436 SY2 (Rapido B436) is a compact twin-spindle, twin-turret CNC turning center built by Biglia of Italy and sold in North America by Eurotech. It is designed for complete machining of small, complex parts from bar in one cycle. Two liquid-cooled integral motor spindles each take 36 mm (1.42 in) bar, run to 7,000 rpm and are driven by 11 kW (14.8 hp) motors, with a C-axis on each. The sub-spindle moves on two axes (Z3 and X3), so it can be offset from the main spindle to avoid turret interference or act as a tailstock, and a superimposition function allows three-tool follow-up machining. Two 12-station servo turrets (0.15-second index) carry live tooling on every position, driven at up to 6,000 rpm and 2.2/4.6 kW, and each turret has its own Y-axis. Maximum machining diameter is 3.94 in (100 mm). The machine sits on a 45-degree cast-iron slant bed with linear guides, occupies less than 5 square meters, measures 145.2 x 59.6 x 78.4 in and weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) including the chip conveyor. Standard equipment includes a bar-feeder interface, rigid tapping, parts catcher and parts conveyor.
