Product Detail

The basic construction of the Bridgecenter-8G #40 double column machining center consists of a bed type casting with square section support columns, incorporating a triangular section cross beam for an even distribution of weight during heavy cutting, standard linear scale feedback ensures optimum accuracy on a machine of this size.  Construction of the Bridgecenter-8G #40 combines super-finish, ground-hardened solid box ways on all axes with high grade Meehanaite castings to deliver outstanding accuracy with excellent vibration damping capabilities.

A 20,000rpm, 4-step  gear driven spindle is standard for lighter cuts with fine-finish capabilities at higher speeds.  The Dual Contact Spindle design offers the benefits of greater machining rigidity, improved surface finish, higher cutting accuracy and extended cutting tool life.
