2001 STARRAG BX151 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2001 Starrag BX151 is a 5-axis precision machining center produced by Starrag Group, a Swiss precision machine-tool builder specializing in five-axis and multi-axis machining systems for aerospace, energy, and precision engineering industries. The BX151 is designed for complete five-axis simultaneous machining of complex components including turbine blades, impellers, structural aerospace parts, and precision tooling. Built on a high-rigidity mineral casting or cast-iron base, the machine provides exceptional thermal stability and vibration damping for precision surface generation. Axis travels of approximately 59 inches in X, 23.6 inches in Y, and 19.7 inches in Z provide the work envelope needed for blade and impeller classes of components. The rotary A and B axes enable full five-axis simultaneous contouring for complex freeform surface machining. A high-speed spindle with HSK taper delivers the RPM and surface quality needed for titanium, nickel superalloy, and aluminum aerospace workpieces. Siemens 840D CNC control provides five-axis simultaneous interpolation, RTCP (rotational tool center point), and look-ahead capability for complex tool paths. The BX151 represents Starrag's engineering excellence in high-precision five-axis machining for the most demanding aerospace and precision manufacturing applications.
