SHIMADA B6-27-NC-W HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SHIMADA B6-27-NC-W is a high-performance horizontal machining center featuring six main spindles, each capable of independent RPM control up to 2,500, powered by 15 HP motors. It supports a maximum turning diameter and bar diameter of 1.000", with a maximum turning length and X/Z axis travel of 4.720". The machine incorporates a primary slide tool carrier with the capacity for up to six tools, enabling simultaneous cutting with up to five tools, and offers 4-axis simultaneous control for complex machining processes. Designed for precision and efficiency in high-volume production, the B6-27-NC-W excels in multi-spindle CNC operations, allowing for simultaneous machining on multiple spindles, optimizing cycle times and throughput. Its compact design and advanced automation capabilities make it ideal for manufacturing small to medium diameter parts, such as fittings and fasteners, with optimal spindle speed and cutting performance tailored to each spindle position. The machine’s bar capacity and motorized spindles provide flexibility for diverse metal cutting applications, supported by its rigidity and precise indexing mechanisms to ensure consistent part quality and operational reliability. The B6-27-NC-W represents a sophisticated solution for manufacturers seeking high-speed, multi-axis turning and milling capabilities in a single, integrated system.
