Schiess BFR Horizontal maching centers for large component

Schiess BFR Horizontal maching centers for large component 

An ever-increasing variety of large and complex workpieces, and rapidly changing production requirements, demand constant progress in flexibility and productivity. To cope with this task, the degree of automation of the stand-alone machine or the manufacturing system is aimed at achieving the utmost economy in the manufacture of large components. SCHIESS Horizontal Machining Centers for large components - Boríng Centers, Type BFR, for boring, milling and turning; Milling Centers, Type FB, for milling and boring are capable of machining complex workpieces of any kind in a minimum of setups.

The modular SCHIESS concept permits an optimum adaptation of both hardware and software to a multitude of different machining tasks. Our strong points: Stand-alone machines expanded by peripheral modules, flexible manufacturing cells and linked flexible manufacturing cells comprising machines designed for identical or different technologies, up to computer-integrated manufacturing systems. In this connection, we work in close cooperation with LENTJES-SCHIESS Column assembly BFR Manufacturing cell, comprising 2 x BFR with pallet system and pallet shuttle.

Many advanced design features result in a favorable price/performance ratio, such as hydrostatic bearing system both radially and axially for the milling and boring spindle, temperature-controlled high spindle speeds, hydrostatic linear guideways for sustained accuracy, with anti-backlash preloading, automatic indexing and clamping of attachment heads in the 4 x 90 positions at the headstock, high system damping, no stick-slip front, or the ram BFR, steel structure for torsional and deflectional rigidity, thermo-symmetric headstock guidance BFR, axially traversing ram BFR, designed to take attachment heads for horizontally and/or vertically boring, milling, turning, and facing mounted boring, milling or turning tools.

A wide variety of sophisticated installations for the flexible and productive machining of large components is already in operation worldwide. SCHIESS machines are used in plant and machine building, in the steel industry, the power generating and the automotive industry, the air and spacecraft as well as the shipbuilding industry. SCHIESS VERTICAL Machining Centers for large components can increase the possibilities of solving your machining problems. Moreover, various combinations of large vertical and horizontal machining centers have been tried and tested in practice.

Let SCHIESS make a specific analysis of your requirements. We can bring an improved system into the production of your large components.
