Tradition We have been producing machine tools at our Reutlingen site since 1888. Today, some 220 employees continue the long tradition of making high-precision machining centres and special purpose machines.

Since the company was founded and the first special design of a circular saw was produced, BURKHARDT+WEBER has been respected as a skilled, dependable partner for complex manufacturing tasks. The first NC-controlled machining centre was made as early as 1958 – back then with punched tape control. In 1993, BW pioneered and introduced digital control technology. 2005 saw the world‘s first tool magazine featuring 570 pockets.

On-going training and the use of the latest CAD and ERP systems ensure our technological lead. We welcome our customers‘ ideas. Suggestions for improvement and special requirements are implemented rapidly.

Since 2012, BURKHARDT+WEBER has been part of Brazil‘s largest machine tool manufacturer, Indústrias Romi S.A.

Look into the serial production on joint spindle drilling machines at BW in the 1940‘s.

The first NC-controlled machining centre was delivered back in 1958.

Quality The latest expertise, quality assurance, failure prevention and continuous training guarantee BURKHARDT+WEBER‘s high product quality. A closed quality control loop, into which all suppliers are integrated too, exists between Service, Design and Assembly.

Every machine has to pass extensive endurance tests, which are recorded, before being delivered. Assembly halls and measuring rooms are air-conditioned to ensure precision manufacturing. All assemblies have their own test bays and have to pass strict pre-tests. We have, of course, been certified according to ISO 9001 for several years.

Our high degree of vertical integration has paid off. It enables us to maintain our expertise, continuously develop our products further and ensure our consistently high quality. We produce all our components just-in-time. “Made by BW“ means that all important core components are developed and manufactured in our plant. These include: machine bed and column, machining unit, machine table, tool magazine, pallet system, control cabinet, hydraulic unit, fixtures, special tools and special equipment.Spindle test stand in the BW plant: Extensive

tests prior to every delivery go without saying.

Controlled precision: Workpiece measurement in an air-conditioned measuring room.

All important core components are developed and manufactured by ourselves.

Powerful Enduring Cast or welded gearbox housing, narrow key dimensions and concentricities, as well as finely toleranced angular positions – that‘s where the BW machine comes into its own. Rigid table drives with high handling quality and pre-loaded rotary table drives allow the precision cutting of deep bores.

Blind holes at depth are realised using the automatic tool extension. Every standard tool weighing up to 40 kg can thus be automatically extended by 350 mm.

No matter whether trucks, tractors, earth-moving machinery or mining opera-tion vehicles, whether diesel engines, gearboxes, frames or axes, from small batch quantities through to volume production – BW offers a turnkey solution on machining centres or, for higher batch quantities on special machines.

Programmed intermediate measurements, fixture technology, tool design and automatic loading systems – everything from just one source. The high, long-term accuracy of BW machines guarantees a stable process for many years.

Dependable Deep compressor bores, interrupted cuts on screw compressors, the toughest and hardest materials such as Superduplex and laser-welded Inconel, deep bores with difficult lengths and diameters.

We respond with a robust basic structure, e.g. with high-damping sliding guideways and machine frames from cast iron, high-performance and high-torque gear spindles and tool lengths of up to 1.200 mm in automatic changeover.

EfficientDiesel engines from 6-cylinders, inline or as a V-Block, V 20 and V 24 engines with block lengths of up to 5.000 mm, partial or complete machining, including crank and camshaft bores – having supplied 160 machining centres, we boast a broad range of references.

Special equipment such as facing slides, automatic boring bar changer, customised contact-actuated tools and series boring bars, complete fixture systems from BW.

Flexible Super-alloy steam turbine blades, large generator housing, wind-powered planetary gearboxes and cast hubs – all components are expansive, difficult to machine and call for the utmost expertise.

Spindle drives with 4-step automatic gear units up to 80 kW and 3.600 Nmpermit effective machining of even difficult materials with large chip volumes. Weights of up to 40 tonnes can be loaded automatically via pallet changer, thus dramatically cutting set-up times.

Precise Our specialist fields are general machine engineering and machine tool engineering. Diverse materials, a broad range of batch sizes and demanding accuracies call for powerful, precise and highly-flexible machining centres.

Numerous options permit optimised process design and hence the extremely efficient machining of small and medium batch sizes. The world‘s leading tool magazine with up to 570 tools and automatic pallet changing systems ensure maximum flexibility.

MCX Roller-guided machining centres For optimised dynamics

All MCX machining centres are powerfully dimensioned, feature high-torque gear spindles and have, on all axes, pre-loaded ball screw drives or a high-accuracy pinion rack drive. This guarantees high long-term accuracy, even while roughing in parallel with precision-machining.

On all MCX models, we use generously dimensioned roller linear guideways in order to further guarantee long-term accuracy. Rapid traversing speeds of up to 60 m/min and accelerations of up to 5 m/s² offer high dynamics and guarantee short non-productive times.

The cast gantry column offers especially high damping properties and thermal inertia. Installed at its gravitational centre are additional guide carriages for optimised load and power distribution.

The µ series developed by BW is based on decades of experience garnered in the manufacture of high-precision machine tools. Increasingly precise components measuring just a few µ call for the highest-precision machining centres. BW has just the right solution – its µ series.

An inherently rigid, heavy machine bed with manually scraped linear guideways in accuracy class G0, coupled with temperature-controlled active cooling throughout the machine bed and machine frame provide the basis for optimised precision. All axis drives are water-cooled. In order to guarantee optimum temperature stability, the entire machine is made from materials with very similar thermal expansion coefficients.

The machines are fitted with a stable, powerful high-performance spindle that has a water-cooled drive and hollow shaft motor. 32 kW of drive output and 610 Nm of torque at 100 % duty cycle permit effective precision machining. Ingenious sensor technology monitors spindle expansion, spindle temperature and fine vibration behaviour. The slightest changes are compensated in a matter of milliseconds.

The machine table – developed and manufactured by BW – is fitted with high-precision axial roller bearings, a precision, backlash-free worm gear and lapped pallet supports. NC valves with minimal heat radiation are also installed. The lock valves are energised only during switching operations.

All peripheral assemblies, including pallet changer and tool magazine, are from the tried and proven MCX standard series.

4-stepPowerful gear spindles up to 80 kW and 3.600 Nm for heavy-duty machining. Heavy bearing assembly with speeds of up to 4.000 or 6.000 rpm.

Horizontal/vertical swivel headNC-controlled with two gear steps. Swivel time 1,8 sec at full speed up to 8.000 rpm. 5 -axis simultaneous machining up to 56 kW and 2.000 Nm. Complete machining of precision components in a single set-up.

QuillWith 2-step gear unit up to 60 kW, 2.000 Nm and 4.000 rpm. Optionally, there are quills in 130 mm with 700 mm extended length or 160 mm with 1.000 mm extended length.

A-axisWith 2-step gear unit up to 50 kW, 2.000 Nm and 5.000 rpm. Demanding machining operations in practically all angular positions in combination with the NC table axis.

NC machine tableOnly NC tables we develop and produce ourselves are used in our machining centres. The pallet loading capacity ranges from 1.500 kg to 40.000 kg. Especially high tilting and tangential moments with low table construction and generously-dimensioned bearing arrangement guarantee optimised machining performance and outstanding geometric results. From a pallet load of 12.000 kg, only hydrostatically-beared NC tables are used.

Milling/turning tableWe offer MCX series machining centres up to MCX 1200 as combined milling/turning centres. Powerful torque drives up to 500/min ensure effective machining in milling and turning operation. The integrated balancing software and special imbalance sensor technology offer optimised protection. When using turning tools, the main spindle bearing is uncoupled from the tool adapter during the machining operation. This stops any pulses impacting the high-quality spindle bearing arrangement.

Rotary/tilting tableFor simultaneous 5 -axis machining, we offer both our swivel head and a rotary/tilting table for the MCX series. This rotary/tilting table comprises a bridge clamped between two NC reversible clamping devices and the inserted NC table unit.

Tool magazine The tool magazine is loaded and unloaded during machining time efficiently and ergonomically by a loading station with 2 x 7 pockets. Operator and magazine robot operate completely independently of each other. A highly-advanced tool magazine management system and a 19“ touchpanel support the operator for all inputs.

For special applications, we develop customised solutions like the automatic feed device for extra- long line boring bars up to 3.000 mm in length or additional magazines for rapid change of special tools weighing up to 500 kg.

For our tool magazines, numerous options are available. These include automatic cleaning of all tools, break and wear monitoring and the storage of special tools.

The modular, highly-flexible tool magazines have a maximum capacity of 570 tools at traversing speeds of up to 200 m/min. Tool lengths up to 1.200 mm, 75 kg change weight and 900 mm diameter for boring bars cover practically every requirement when it comes to the choice of tool. The automatic detection of the tool tilting moment and weight, process-optimised loading and unloading, use-based advancement and an extensive tool management system ensure the operator works with a high degree of comfort. Each and every magazine can be individually equipped at the time of ordering. Years later, it is also easy to retrofit and expand as required. There are three versions to choose from

– For series production: our basic version with 180 tool pockets– For machining workpiece families: the tool magazine with up to 330 pockets– For a broad component spectrum: the large tool magazine offering maximum flexibility and up to 570 tool pockets

Automation Our special purpose machines and interlinked overall systems are geared towards meeting our customers‘ requirements for a high output, optimised quality and efficient ergonomics. The durable, customised designs are based on a modular system.

Experience and technology combined guarantee maximum productivity. We realise well-proven special solutions for the manufacturing task at hand. Single or multi-spindle, CNC-controlled modules are employed for flexible production.

Precision machining operations are monitored by modified measuring equip-ment and, where required, also by controlled cutting edge compensations.

Our proprietary, special-purpose machines are used predominantly in industries with high annual volumes and tight tolerances, such as commercial vehicle production for making crankcases, cylinder heads, gearbox housings or conrods.

Pallet changerAll BW machining centres are equipped with a double pallet changer. This enables ergonomic setting-up during machining. Load-dependent speeds and servo-driven links ensure a fast pallet change.

Pallet poolSmaller batch sizes can be cost-effectively completed by a pallet pool. Up to six pallets are managed in the system. An automatically rotating set-up station permits the use of clamping cubes and enables clamping/unclamping at any position.

3rd and 4th pallet changing stationIn the case of more than two set-ups or an unmanned third shift, the economic solution is a 3rd or even a 4th pallet changing station. This provides several autonomous set-up stations.

Simple integration into high-rack systemsEvery one of our machining centres can simply be integrated into modern high-rack systems for workpiece automation.

Linear interlinking systemsThe integration of multiple machining centres into a BW own rail-guided interlinking system permits unmanned operation. Special equipment options, including height-adjustable or tilting loading stations, barcode systems etc. dramatically increase a system‘s productivity.
