MILLING, TURNING AND DRILLING – MCT SERIES MULTITASKING MACHINING CENTERS.

The five MCT machining centers are designed specifically for multitasking applications. Milling, drilling, turning – all on one machining center with high power density thanks to NC-controlled tilting spindle, strong turning tool holder and fast-turning torque table. Integrated horizontal and vertical turning replaces use of multiple additional lathes. Maximum efficiency through flexibility.

BW's own rotary tables with powerful torque motors for turning and generously dimensioned holding brakes for milling and drilling permit demanding steel and cast-iron machining operations with maximum cutting performance. All BW options of other series are also available for the MCT series. The MCT machining centers can also be operated together with other BW machining centres in one system, because the same pallets are used.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

Even in their standard versions, every machining center is equipped with the energy efficiency package developed by BW. Through installation of energy-optimized components and operating processes, energy consumption is reduced by up to 15%, depending on the application.

OPERATOR ERGONOMICS.

Each BW machining center has a large operator platform, wide access from the platform to the accessible working area with no steps, a large 22″ pivoting, height adjustable touchscreen, a pull-out writing surface, four integrated drawers and a locker.

WEEKEND CURCUIT.

In the standard version, coolant is automatically circulated even when the machine is switched off. Tools can be thoroughly cleaned automatically over the weekend when this option is selected.

WORKING AREA RINSING.

Generously dimensioned ceiling shower that directs the chip load shortly before the pallet ejectors into the two chip conveyors. Cabin corners of larger machines are rinsed out. Inclined surfaces are rinsed off, lateral double rinsing in the Z plane – this all ensures a clean working area. Inclined roof panel over the operator’s entry area to prevent dripping water. Optional spray gun with automatic retractor.

MAINTENANCE.

The open maintenance concept of BW: Everything is easy to check visually – no doors, grates, or the like. Location of the hydraulics and pneumatics at a single maintenance point, ergonomic filling heights, automatic approach to maintenance positions, accessible cabin ceilings for easy replacement of Flattec technology lighting (simply fold up the cartridge, replace, and you’re done). Complete maintenance guide with instructions can be opened and edited on the 24″ control panel.
