The new NBV vertical machining center is as noteworthy for what it doesn’t have as what it has. Eliminating all hydraulics, this compact VMC is flush with modular application flexibility, including configurations for three-, four-, and five-axis contouring or five-axis mill/turn work, integrated CAM support and program simulation, and four spindle options ranging up to 42,000 rpm. In addition to its hydraulic-free design, the NBV conserves energy with a selectable ECO-Mode power saving feature that automatically levels speed and acceleration for an ideal balance of cutting performance, energy use, and machine-component life. Ideal applications include die/mold, automotive and aerospace impellers and blisks, medical, and general machining. Control options for the NBV 400 include Siemens, Bosch Rexroth, Fanuc and Heidenhain. The NBV 400 is a self-contained unit, making for easy transportation, rigging and setup. Automation and other processing options, including MQL/dry machining, robot load/unload systems and additional tool-disc magazines, are easily integrated.
