Precision and Stability for Mold Cutting

The BM 1530M was built with precision in mind, designed to handle large molds with exacting detail. It features a contact spindle with a spindle speed of 12,000 rpm, which minimizes vibration and ensures smooth operation during deep pocket cutting. With its roller guideways, the machine maintains stability, reducing vibration while maintaining accuracy, even at high speeds.

Power and Capacity for Large Workpieces

The BM 1530M is not only about precision but also about handling large and heavy workpieces. With a table size of 3000 x 1350 mm and a weight capacity of 8,000 kg, this machine was designed for large mold production. The machine’s robust build, which weighs 29000 kg, ensures it remains stable even when dealing with heavy-duty tasks, making it ideal for industries such as aerospace, construction, and automotive manufacturing.

Its long-nose spindle extends by 293 mm, allowing for deep pocket cutting while maintaining accuracy. For manufacturers working on complex molds, this ability to reach deeper into the workpiece without sacrificing precision is essential.

High-Speed Machining and Versatile Tooling

Speed and versatility are at the core of the BM 1530M. This machine boasts a rapid traverse rate of 16 m/min, reducing downtime between cuts and allowing for more efficient production runs. Its roller guideways ensure smooth and accurate movement, enabling the machine to maintain precision even at its highest speeds.

The Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) is another standout feature, with a standard capacity of 40 tools, expandable to 60 tools for more complex operations. This ensures that multiple tools are readily available for various machining tasks, making the BM 1530M ideal for manufacturers looking to streamline production and reduce setup times.

In one instance, a mold maker specializing in press molds noted that the BM 1530M's quick tool changes and high-speed cutting capabilities allowed them to reduce cycle times while maintaining exceptional surface finish quality.

Advanced Thermal Compensation for Accuracy

Maintaining precision during long machining sessions can be difficult due to temperature fluctuations. The BM 1530M tackles this issue with advanced thermal displacement compensation for the spindle and the machine's structure. By automatically adjusting for thermal expansion, the machine ensures that precision is maintained even during extended operations.

In a recent application, a company manufacturing injection molds found that the BM 1530M's thermal compensation allowed them to complete long production runs without worrying about accuracy drift. This feature significantly reduced the need for manual adjustments, saving both time and money.

Heavy-Duty Tasks with Flexibility

The BM 1530M offers flexibility in handling a wide range of cutting tasks, from deep pocket mold cutting to facemilling and U-drilling. Its high-torque spindle with 420 N·m of torque ensures it can handle even the toughest materials while maintaining precision. The roller guideways further enhance the machine's rigidity, ensuring stability throughout the cutting process.

For manufacturers in industries such as appliance production, the BM 1530M offers the versatility needed to handle various molds, from refrigerator molds to press molds. The machine’s precision, combined with its ability to handle heavy workpieces, makes it an essential tool for any company working with large-scale molds.

Unlock The Most Precision Mold Cutting

The BM 1530M delivers a powerful combination of precision, speed, and stability, making it the perfect solution for manufacturers needing to handle large, complex molds. With its spindle speed of 12,000 rpm, thermal compensation, and high-torque spindle, this machine is designed for high-performance mold production.
