GROB-WERKE BZ800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The GROB-WERKE BZ800 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. Featuring an X-axis travel of 55.12 inches (1,400 mm), Y-axis travel of 39.37 inches (1,000 mm), and Z-axis travel of 44.88 inches (1,140 mm), this machine provides a generous work envelope for large and complex parts. The dual-pallet system, with each pallet measuring 31.5 x 31.5 inches (800 x 800 mm), enables continuous operation and maximizes productivity by allowing part loading and unloading while machining is in progress. The 77-pocket automatic tool changer (ATC) ensures rapid tool exchange and supports a wide range of machining operations. The spindle is equipped with an HSK 100 taper and delivers a maximum speed of 7,200 RPM, providing robust cutting performance and versatility for various materials. The machine is controlled by a Fanuc CNC system, ensuring reliable and user-friendly operation. Additional features include through-spindle coolant for improved tool life and chip evacuation, a chip conveyor for efficient swarf removal, a chiller for thermal stability, and hydraulic clamping for secure workpiece fixation. The full B-axis capability allows for advanced 5-axis machining, enabling complex geometries and high-accuracy contouring. The GROB-WERKE BZ800 is engineered for stability, precision, and flexibility, making it an ideal solution for high-volume and high-mix manufacturing applications.
