Horizontal Boring Mill with APC System



The Yama Seiki MB series with an Automatic Pallet System (APC) is a new boring mill. The heavy-duty structure of "MB" series machines are designed using Finite Element Method (FEM), which provides optimum machine rigidity. The heavily ribbed, one-piece thermally stable bed and casting components are of Meehanite casting.

The closed spindle head design combined with spindle transmission and feeding system provide powerful heavy-duty cutting ability. Maximum spindle speed of 3,200 RPM with 3-step gear box can provide maximum torque output of 1,800 N-m under 137 RPM. The system uses a 110 mm high-precision spindle which allows the W-axis travel to be up to 500 mm. The inner spindle taper utilizes a BCT toolholder that offers simultaneous dual contact between the spindle face and toolholder face to reduce vibration when machining.

The 3-axis feed system is adopted with full travel support and uses high precision linear encoders for optimum performance and accuracy. X, Y axes are designed with box ways which are pre-ground, suitable for heavy-duty cutting conditions. The Z-axis has four compound guideways to effectively prevent the working table from overhanging while providing strong and firm support.

The rotary table provides 1° indexing (0.001° as optional) and the maximum table load can reach up to 8,800 lbs. The B-axis positioning uses a hydraulic braking system to provide positioning accuracy during indexing. The right angle indexing lock device allows 90° indexing with more stability. The APC system is designed by the AWEA R&D team to reduce labor and setup time of loading parts between each job. The rotary table is designed with four sets of hydraulic cylinders when using the APC system to provide working accuracy and stability.
