BURKHARDT+WEBER MCµ
Machines of the MCµ series are designed for ultimate precision and long-term accuracy. Close to µ accuracy and – as always at BW – not just on the day of commissioning, but over many years of use. The MCµ series is no standard machine trimmed for accuracy. The MCµ is based much more on a fundamentally new concept. Because the final µ is the result of many specific individual measures, such as careful design, best materials, strict production methods and very experienced employees. MCµ: Accuracy by design, not compensation. The result is the most precise machine series we’ve ever built.

Cost-effectiveness
Cost pressure is leading to fewer and fewer clamping operations, which in turn leads to more complex components. This is significantly increasing the demands on machining, while rapidly reducing the joining component. The MCµ targets mounting rather than adjustment.
Customization
BURKHARDT+WEBER builds highly customised machining centres. The same applies unreservedly to the MCµ series. We have broad expertise in the production of high-precision components, not least due to the high degree of vertical integration with our own precision components, and from many customer projects.
- Gearless and directly driven
- Assembled by highly experienced employees
- Strictest quality controls
- 24-hour load spectrum on BW test stand with programmable counter-loads
- Highest surface qualities demand the best possible concentricity and total absence of vibration. Consequently, BW only installs gearless spindle units in the MCµ, whose drive system operates decoupled from all vibration
- With 610 Nm, 32 kW (S1) and speeds up to 6,000 rpm, cost-effective precision machining of all materials is guaranteed
- The slim but nevertheless expansive spindle design allows loading of the spindle in house with short tools optimised for concentricity
- The complete spindle cooling system with linear expansion compensation ensures stable length ratios in the process
