The BF-1168V in detail
Who is the BF-1168V for?
Subcontractors and workshops adding a 4th/5th axis to a long-travel VMC for elongated, complex steel and aluminium parts, in batches of 1 to 200 parts.
The problem you know well
Parts of 900-1,100 mm requiring a 4th axis call for a VMC that is both long in X and generous in Z clearance. Standard machines offer one or the other, rarely both, forcing a compromise between travel and accessibility.
What the BF-1168V changes
Travels 1,100 × 650 × 800 mm — long X travel and 800 mm Z travel for fitting a rotary indexer. 12,000 rpm BBT40 spindle, roller linear guideways, 1,200 × 650 mm / 900 kg table, 24-tool magazine, FANUC 0i-MF Plus, 15/18.5 kW power, 7,500 kg machine weight.
What it means in practice
- X travel 1,100 mm + Z 800 mm: a unique combination — long parts with a 4th/5th-axis rotary table, free of height or length constraints.
- Roller linear guideways: dynamic accuracy in 4/5-axis interpolation, consistent finish on 3D contours.
- 15/18.5 kW BBT40: ample power for roughing steel with long tools on an indexer-mounted setup.
- 1,200 × 650 mm / 900 kg table: Ø250 indexer or 4th-axis rotary table with elongated parts, without exceeding the load capacity.
- 7,500 kg structure: rigidity suited to overhanging cutting forces on 4th-axis set-ups.
Industrial applications
Aerospace: spars, seat rails and long structural parts requiring multi-face machining.
4/5-axis engineering: camshafts, prototype crankshafts, elongated valve bodies.
Moulds: long cores and slides with complex 3D contours.
