SHIBAURA MACHINE CO. BMC-80(5)E HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Shibaura Machine Co. BMC-80(5)E is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for stable, powerful cutting and precision machining of large workpieces. It features a 31.5" x 31.5" table capable of supporting up to 4,400 lbs, optimized for heavy-duty applications. The spindle is a horizontal type with a BT50 taper, offering a standard top speed of 4,500 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. The machine is equipped with a 60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 120 tools, that facilitates high productivity and quick tool changes. It includes a standard pallet changer with two pallets and options to expand up to 10 pallets, using a parallel shuttle type system that allows loading while machining continues. The BMC-80(5)E has five axes (X, Y, Z linear axes and A and B rotary axes), with travels of 59" (X), 44" (Y), and 43.3" (Z), and rotary axes allowing 100° and 360° rotation, respectively. The rapid traverse rate is 283 inches per minute across all linear axes. The machine employs linear roller guides for high rigidity and precision, along with thermal compensation features such as oil-cooled spindle motor and feedback systems to maintain accuracy during prolonged operations. This robust design supports stable high-speed feed rates up to 142 inches per minute, suited for precision contouring and complex machining tasks.
