The range of BV vertical lathes with integrated automation has been designed to meet customers’ requirements for cost-effective chuck machining, particularly for small and medium-sized series, but also suitable for mass production. The moving vertical spindle performs both machining and automatic loading/unloading of parts. Short travels, combined with high rapid traverse drastically reduce idle times. The easy access to the work area allows the operator to perform quick and convenient tooling-up operations. The BV vertical lathes comprising ASA 6” (BV210) or ASA 8” (BV315) spindles can be equipped with driven tools, C-axis and Y-axis to carry out complete machining of complex parts.
