Countdown to IMTS 2010: SNK America Inc.

The SNK Nissin BP130 Series Horizontal Boring and Milling Machine from SNK America, Inc. is engineered for fast and accurate operation. See it at IMTS Booth #S-8936.

The BP130 Series’ high-powered boring spindle (5.1” diameter) performs at speeds from 5 to 2,500 rpm (optionally 3,500 rpm) with a torque of 2,793 ft/lb. A built-in rotary table provides a fifth axis of operation, and positioning control within 0.001 degree.

Featuring cast iron construction, 2.5” diameter double anchor ball screws and heavy-duty box ways (6” wide), the 130 Series is built rigid for exceptional accuracy. The hardened box ways achieve excellent lubricity through SNK’s advanced ”mirror surface” technology.

Further enhancing precision, W-Axis Thermal Growth Sensors are positioned around the spindle casting and bearing. These sensors continually read temperatures (within microns) in five areas - more than most competitor machines. The additional sensors reduce the risk of false readings, and ensure accurate compensation.

The table size of the BP130 -3.5 model 63” x 86” with a maximum load capacity of 33,000 lbs. Strokes are 138” (X-axis), 98” (Y-axis), 63” (Z-axis) and 27.5” (W-axis). X, Y, Z and B-axis scale feedback is included as standard. The 60-tool ATC features a pneumatic pedal for ease in loading and unloading tools. All SNK Nissin HBM machines are equipped with Fanuc 16iM CNC controls.
