TORNOS SA BA 1008 XT HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Tornos BA 1008 XT is a highly compact, high-precision horizontal machining center designed primarily for bar milling with multi-spindle technology. It features up to 8 spindles and accommodates 23 tools via dual tool changers, expanding machining capabilities for complex and previously unachievable parts. The machine operates with 7 axes, providing advanced flexibility and precision in machining operations. It is controlled by a Fanuc 0iMD CNC system with a 10.4" color LCD, supporting up to 4 simultaneous axes and scalable memory for efficient programming and control. The BA 1008 XT offers travels of approximately 26 mm in X, 160 mm in Y, and 60 mm in Z axes, facilitating precise part manipulation within a compact footprint. Spindles operate horizontally with high-frequency motor drives, supporting high-speed cutting up to 28,000 rpm. The machine supports multiple front, lateral, and counter-operation spindles with options for tilting angles up to 17° and an 80-mm sectioning tool, enhancing machining versatility. It does not include an index or rotary table but compensates with its multi-axis and multi-spindle design. The system features a reliable tool measuring system and optional electronic handwheel for operator convenience. The BA 1008 XT is suited for high precision, high productivity manufacturing, especially in sectors requiring intricate metal part production, such as watchmaking and microtechnology.
