Eurotech Rapido BMX

10-axis double-turret turn/mill center

Built to order. Ask for lead time.

Overview

Two Y-axis turrets and two matched 6,000 rpm spindles in a compact frame

The Rapido BMX 45Y2 is Eurotech's compact double-turret bar machine for small parts, the latest evolution of its B436/B438 machines. Main and sub-spindle carry the same specs, 6,000 rpm and 70 lb.ft, and the sub-spindle moves in X3 and Z3 so up to three tools can cut at once. Each 12-station turret has its own Y-axis and live tooling at every position. It runs on a Mitsubishi M800VS control with Eurotech's software and measures 178 x 75 x 86 in with the swarf conveyor.

Features

01Live tooling at every turret positionTwo 12-station Eurotech servo turrets, each with its own Y-axis and 2.4 in of Y stroke. Every position is live and driven directly, with no belts. Live tools run to 6,000 rpm with 6.2 hp and 16.2 lb.ft, and the turret indexes in 0.15 seconds.
02Mitsubishi M800VS with Eurotech software15 in color touch screen with Ethernet, USB, memory card and RS232, plus SSS control, nano interpolation and OMR control. Eurotech adds Gap Elimination Logic, which removes forced dwells between turning, C-axis and Y-axis moves, and a two-sensor tool setter that measures offsets on both turrets.
03Compact footprint178 x 75 x 86 in and 13,228 lb with the swarf conveyor, with a 46 in spindle centre height.

04Matched main and sub-spindleBoth are liquid-cooled integral motor spindles with the same rating, 6,000 rpm and 70 lb.ft, so the sub-spindle has the same power as the main. The sub-spindle moves in X3 and Z3 and can be offset from the main spindle, which clears turret interference and, with superimposition, puts three tools in the cut. As an option it can also act as a tailstock for small shafts while both turrets cut.
0545 degree cast-iron slant bedThe bed is cast iron at 45 degrees on linear rails, for rigidity, vibration damping and thermal stability. Scales on X1 and X2 are standard.
06Parts gantry and conveyorThe programmable parts catcher unloads finished parts up to 180 mm (7.1 in) long in automatic mode and idle time. A finished-parts conveyor, bar-feeder interface, chip conveyor and tool wear and breakage monitoring are standard.
