Overview

The BF-T6 in detail

Who is the BF-T6 for?

Series production workshops and automotive subcontractors making small parts in aluminium and light alloys, in batches of 500 to 50,000 parts with a focus on drilling and tapping.

The problem you know well

A conventional VMC loses 3 to 5 seconds per tool change and 2 seconds repositioning between holes. On a batch of 10,000 parts using 8 tools, this idle time adds up to 15 to 20 hours of lost production.

What the BF-T6 changes

Drilling and tapping centre: travels 600 × 400 × 300 mm, 12,000 rpm BT30 spindle (20,000 optional), rapid traverse 60 m/min, tool change <1.5 s. Table 700 × 400 mm, 21-tool magazine, FANUC 0i-MF Plus, power 5.5/7.5 kW, weight 3,200 kg.

What it means in practice

  • 60 m/min rapid traverse: repositioning between holes in a few tenths of a second — a cumulative 30% gain on multi-hole drilling cycles.
  • Tool change <1.5 s: minimised chip-to-chip time, with a direct impact on cost per part in high-volume production.
  • BT30 / 20,000 rpm option: a light, responsive spindle optimised for fast drilling and tapping of aluminium.
  • 3,200 kg / compact footprint: install several T6 machines in line for a high-throughput production cell.
  • 5.5/7.5 kW: power sized for drilling and tapping — lower electricity consumption than an oversized VMC.

Industrial applications

Automotive: aluminium plates, mounting brackets, drilled and tapped body parts in series.

Electronics: enclosures, heat sinks, connector plates with multiple holes.

Pneumatics: aluminium valve bodies, valve manifold bases, manifolds.
