MCT
The six MCT machining centres are designed specifically for multitasking applications.
The MCT Range
The six MCT machining centres are designed specifically for multitasking applications. Milling, drilling, turning – all on one machining centre 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.
Machining Unit
| Machining Unit | Made by BURKHARDT+WEBER | |
| Powerful and generously-supported horizontal/vertical head | ||
| To accommodate the optional turning tool holder, the swivel head is equipped as standard with a sturdy four-point clamping system | ||
| Assembled by highly experienced employees | ||
| Strictest quality controls | ||
| 24-hour load spectrum on BW test stand with programmable counter-loads | ||
| NC-controlled as HVP positioning head or as a fully-fledged 5-axis HVC swivel head | ||
| Each with 8,000 rpm an up to 42 kW / 2,000 Nm thanks to two gear stages | ||
| Swivel time 2 s at full speed | ||
| Turning tools are automatically loaded from the tool magazine into a special turning tool holder | ||
| Turning tool holder with quadruple hydraulic clamping on the spindle unit | ||
| The vertical precision spindle bearing arrangement bears no stress whatsoever during turning. All forces are absorbed by the 4 hydraulic clamping sleeves, which also feature large support spacing for reliable absorption of all lateral forces |
Machine Table and Pallets
| Machine Table and Pallets | Fast-turning, high-performance milling/turning tables | |
| Made by BURKHARDT+WEBER | ||
| Speeds up to 650 rpm | ||
| Loads of up to 7,000 kg, 4,000kg in turning mode | ||
| Automatic balancing cycle with unbalance monitoring during turning operation | ||
| Display of the position and weight of balancing aids | ||
| Reliable disconnection in milling mode by means of a generously dimensioned brake disc, no rotating of the position when hydraulic brake pressure is applied | ||
| High-performance, all-round cooling of the torque motor from 4 sides to prevent heat growth in one direction. Special pallet surfaces are possible, because they are produced in-house | ||
| Optional hydraulic couplings. Turning is performed contact-free and consequently virtually wear-free. Multiple pressure levels possible | ||
| Quality and functional acceptance testing on specially designed table testing station at BW |
Tool Magazine
| Tool Magazine | Made by BURKHARDT+WEBER | |
| Maximum capacity of 608 tools | ||

| Tool lengths up to 1,200 mm | ||
| Boring bar diameters up to 900 mm | ||
| Automatic determination of the tool tilting moment and weight | ||
| Application-oriented pre-storage and comprehensive tool management for maximum convenience | ||
| Every magazine can be fully customised at the time of ordering and easily retrofitted or expanded, if required, even years later | ||
| Loading and unloading at a loading station with 2 x 8 locations operating in parallel with machining | ||
| Clever tool management and 21" smart control panel (optional) | ||
| Tool data transfer via chip, print code or online | ||
| Versions | 128 locations in basic version for series production | |
