End machining center made for continuous processing of tube

BLM Group USA has introduced the BC80, an automated, CNC end machining center for cut-to-length, chamfering, facing, boring, and threading of tube and bar. Designed for 24-hr. production processing of tube up to 3.15 in. dia. and lengths from 0.4 to 13 in., the unit is suitable for high-volume bushing production.

The machine offers completely automated operation with chip removal and scrap handling managed separately. All tube changeover adjustments are handled from a single location. The bundle loader can be filled without interrupting production and is available in different lengths to a maximum of 40 ft. Its pendant-mounted operator console saves floor space and can be pivoted.

The machine operates in several stages. The first position cuts the tube or bar to length; the second stage is for operations such as chamfering and facing; and the third stage for boring, tapping, or measuring.
