Machine tool builder Bourn & Koch, Inc.—located in Rockford, Illinois—will host an open house Friday and Saturday, September 12-13, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. during IMTS. It will include demonstrations of a Blanchard 11-20AD rotary surface grinder and a B&K 100H CNC horizontal hobbing machine, a tour of the new 25,700 square-foot office and engineering center, and the new 800 square-foot demonstration center. Food and refreshments will be served.
During IMTS at McCormick Place, Bourn & Koch will demonstrate a B&K 400H CNC horizontal hobber and a B&K Fellows MS450-125 Gearless Gear Shaper in the Star SU booth (McCormick North B-6912). The B&K 400H is a seven-axis CNC horizontal hobbing/milling machine for hobbing spur and helical gears, splines, and threads on cylindrical blanks or shafts. It is a practical machine that can hob or mill more than one component sequentially if multiple components exist on a shaft.
The B&K Fellows MS450-125 is a six-axis CNC mechanical stroking gear shaper with direct drive spindles, electronic indexing, CNC linear servo backoff, elevating cutter spindle housing, and optional electronic helix setting. It is designed for shaping internal and external gears, and comes standard with a Fanuc 30iB CNC system, a hydrostatic spur guide, and function controls and keypads for online direct entry of gear shaping data.
