B-Axis Technology

Complete machining of a work piece in a single clamping increases accuracy and reduces non-productive times.
 

B-Axis spindle

With the Y-axis and tool magazine - the ideal solution.

• Productivity is increased through
  the high performance turning and
  contour milling of complex work
  pieces

Compact, high performance powered spindle:

• Configured for fast, automatic tool
  changing (HSK or Capto)
   
• Exceptional loading capacity for
  turning operations
   
• Only one tool, hence outstanding
  clearances to avoid collisions
   

Zero backlash pivoting unit:

• Infinitely variable, high accuracy
  positioning through AC servomotor
  and pre-loaded gear train
  (pivoting angle 210 degrees)
   
• Spindle position is locked with
  Hirth-type coupling in 5 degree
  increments
   
• Direct angle measuring system
  ensures accurate machining of
  the required contour
   

With the combination of a B-Axis Rotary Table and Disc-Type Turret, you eliminate the need for a tool magazine.

• Infinitely variable, zero backlash,
  high accuracy positioning with AC
  servomotor and pre-loaded gear
  train (pivoting angle 180 degrees)
   
• Increased loading capacity during
  machining operations
• Locking system with Hirth-type coupling in 5-degree increments

Repetitive Precision
 (+/- 0.0008 mm over 100 mm radius).
