TOSHIBA BMC-1000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Toshiba BMC-1000 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust CNC machine designed for precision metalworking with significant capacity and flexibility. It features a 3-axis configuration with substantial travels: 63" on the X-axis, 49.2" on the Y-axis, and 47.2" on the Z-axis, accommodating large workpieces with a maximum pallet size of 39.4" by 39.4". The machine supports a maximum pallet load of approximately 5,500 lbs, enabling heavy-duty machining operations. Powered by a 40 hp spindle motor, it delivers spindle speeds up to 5,000 RPM, with an ISO-50 taper for versatility in tooling. Equipped with a 30-position automatic tool changer, the BMC-1000 facilitates efficient tool management during complex machining cycles. Controlled via the TOSNUC 888 CNC system, it offers precise control and programmability. Optional features available include an extended spindle speed range up to 10,000 RPM, Z-axis thermal displacement compensation for improved accuracy, and an automatic Renishaw probe for in-process measurement and calibration. The machine supports an automatic pallet change system, allowing setup to occur concurrently with machining, enhancing productivity. Its construction includes spindle head lubricant oil cooling for thermal stability during high-precision operations. Overall, the Toshiba BMC-1000 is a versatile high-rigidity horizontal machining center suitable for demanding manufacturing environments requiring large work envelope machining with CNC precision.
