SHIBAURA MACHINE CO. BMC-63(5)E HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Shibaura Machine BMC-63(5)E is a five-axis horizontal machining center designed for versatile precision manufacturing operations. It features a horizontal BT50 spindle with dual speed capabilities, offering 4,500 RPM standard operation and up to 10,000 RPM as an optional upgrade, delivering 20 HP at 30-minute rating for robust cutting performance. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 2,200 pounds on its 24.8" x 24.8" work table. The five-axis configuration includes three linear axes—X, Y, and Z—each with 31.5", 27.9", and 31.5" travel respectively, plus continuous A (110°) and B (360°) rotary axes enabling complex multi-sided machining in single setups. Linear axis feedrates reach 142 ipm cutting feed with rapid traverse capabilities of 472 ipm, optimizing both precision and cycle time. The automatic tool changer standard configuration holds 60 tools, expandable to 120 tools for extended production runs. A pallet changer system comes standard with two pallets, scalable up to ten pallets for enhanced production flexibility and reduced setup time. The machine incorporates TOSNUC CNC control technology, delivering advanced automation and precision for diverse manufacturing applications from aerospace components to industrial tooling. This configuration makes the BMC-63(5)E particularly suited for job shops and contract manufacturers requiring flexible, high-precision machining capabilities with minimal operator intervention between operations.
