SHIMADA B6-27-NC-S HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Shimada B6-27-NC-S is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision, high-volume production of small-to-medium diameter turned components. Featuring six main spindles, each capable of independent operation, this machine enables simultaneous machining across multiple workpieces, dramatically increasing throughput and reducing cycle times. The main spindle turning diameter and maximum swing are both 1.000", with a maximum turning length of 4.720" and a bar diameter capacity of 1.000", making it ideal for compact, high-precision parts. Each of the first two spindles delivers 15.00 HP and operates at up to 2,500 RPM, ensuring robust cutting performance and versatility. The primary tool carrier is a slide type, supporting up to six turning tools, with the capability to use five tools simultaneously for complex operations. The machine operates on a 2-axis system, with X and Z axis travel both measuring 4.720", providing precise control and repeatability for intricate machining tasks. Engineered for continuous, automated production, the Shimada B6-27-NC-S excels in unattended and lights-out environments, delivering consistent part quality and exceptional productivity for industries such as automotive, medical, and precision engineering.
