Shibaura's BTD-130S.R22: High Capacity, Compact Design for Modern Manufacturing

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, October 8, 2024 - 

The Shibaura Machine BTD-130S.R22 Table-Type Horizontal Boring Machine represents the next era in precision machining, developed as the successor to the BTD-130H.R22. 

Building on decades of expertise in machine manufacturing, this machine offers cutting-edge features like spindle cooling, rotary milling, and automated systems. Shibaura Machine’s legacy of producing high-quality machine castings at its in-house foundry further sets it apart. With the BTD-130S.R22, manufacturers benefit from a modern, compact design, high capacity, and flexibility—boosting productivity while maintaining a lean footprint.

Compact Machine with Big Capabilities

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, increasing output without sacrificing valuable floor space is key. The BTD-130S.R22 answers this challenge with its 5.1 inches (130mm) spindle diameter and impressive X stroke of 118 inches (3000mm) and Y stroke of 90.5 inches (2300mm), allowing manufacturers to handle larger, more complex workpieces. This compact yet powerful design eliminates the need for additional space, making it an ideal solution for operations looking to improve capacity and precision while providing an efficient, small footprint.

Boost Efficiency with Advanced Features

Maximizing productivity while minimizing downtime is crucial in modern manufacturing. The BTD-130S.R22’s portable handwheel feed unit facilitates smooth transitions between manual and CNC operations, reducing setup time and errors. Its rotary milling function eliminates the need for additional rotary tables, allowing for seamless cylindrical and end surface machining—saving both time and simplifying programming.

For those needing higher precision, the scale feedback system on X, Y, Z, and B axes further improves accuracy, designed with servo drive mechanisms to achieve high rigidity during operations.

Built to Handle the Most Demanding Jobs

Meeting high capacity and load requirements is a challenge for many industries. The BTD-130S.R22 addresses this with its advanced dual pinion drive system and robust table features, making it ideal for machining heavy, complex parts.

At the core of its precision is the highly rigid double pinion drive system on the B-axis, ensuring stabilized table indexing. This advanced mechanism guarantees smooth, precise rotary movements even under heavy loads, enhancing both accuracy and consistency during machining operations.

With a table load capacity of up to 44,000 lbs (20,000 kgs) and optional air lift functionality, the BTD-130S.R22 effortlessly handles massive workpieces. The optional Automatic Pallet Changer (APC), supporting two pallets, further streamlines production for increased efficiency.

Optimizing Machine Utilization

Maintaining peak productivity and precise quality control is crucial in today’s competitive environment. The BTD-130S.R22 addresses this challenge with optional workpiece probing and tool setting features that support efficient operations.

• Renishaw Automatic Measuring Probe: Enables tool calibration and offset adjustments, reducing errors and downtime.
• Automatic Tool Setting with Renishaw RTS Probe: Improves productivity by automating tool length measurement and compensation, improving overall machining efficiency.
