MICROCUT CNC BNC-3500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MICROCUT CNC BNC-3500 is a heavy-duty horizontal turning center engineered for precision machining and high-rigidity applications. Featuring a robust one-piece Meehanite casting bed, this machine delivers superior accuracy, durability, and reliability for demanding production environments. The spindle configuration includes a single main spindle rated at 1,480 RPM with 44 horsepower, capable of accommodating workpieces up to 45.27 inches in diameter with a maximum swing of 28.74 inches and a turning length of 39.3 inches. The standard 12-inch chuck diameter can be upgraded to 32 inches for larger workpieces, while bar diameter capacity extends from 4.6 inches standard to 12 inches optional. The turret-based tool carrier accommodates up to eight turning tools with one simultaneous cutting tool, optimizing tool changes and reducing cycle times. The two-axis configuration (X and Z) provides 17.91 inches of X-axis travel and 47 inches of Z-axis travel, both delivering rapid traverse rates of 394 inches per minute for efficient positioning. The machine operates under Fanuc 0iTD CNC control, ensuring precise execution of complex machining sequences. Additional features include hardened and ground bed ways, an automatic lubrication system for extended machine life, and fine surface finish capabilities. Available options encompass C-axis functionality, power turrets, and multiple spindle bore selections including 106mm, 153mm, 254mm, and 356mm, making this lathe particularly suitable for oil and gas industry applications and diverse heavy-duty manufacturing requirements.
