This double-column bridge mill, part of the BM series, offers the power, stability, and accuracy required for industries like automotive, aerospace, and appliance manufacturing.

With advanced features like thermal displacement compensation, a high-speed spindle, and a large table capacity, the BM 2740M delivers exceptional results for deep pocket mold cutting and more. Keep reading to learn how the BM 2740M can revolutionize your mold-making operations.

High-Precision Mold Cutting

Precision is crucial when working with large molds, and the BM 2740M was built to meet that need. Equipped with a spindle speed of 12,000 rpm, this machine provides smooth and accurate cutting, even at high speeds. The spindle nose ensures minimal vibration, making the BM 2740M ideal for deep pocket mold cutting, a common requirement in industries like automotive and appliance manufacturing.

With a maximum torque of 420 N·m (310 ft-lbs) and a spindle power rated at 30/25 kW, the machine offers both power and precision for handling challenging mold designs. Manufacturers producing large-scale molds benefit from its ability to maintain accuracy while handling complex geometries and deep cuts.

Large Workpiece Capacity and Versatility

The BM 2740M is designed to handle large, heavy workpieces, with a table size of 4000 x 2500 mm and a load capacity of 15,000 kg. This makes it perfect for mold production in industries that rely on large components, such as automotive body molds or appliance molds.

Speed and Efficiency for Enhanced Productivity

The BM 2740M is not only built for precision but also for speed. With rapid traverse rates of 12 m/min (X-axis) and 16 m/min (Y and Z axes), the machine minimizes idle time between operations, ensuring faster production cycles. This speed, combined with the machine's roller guideways, ensures that even the fastest movements remain stable and accurate.

The Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) further enhances the machine’s efficiency, offering space for up to 60 tools. With quick and efficient tool changes, the BM 2740M allows operators to handle complex machining tasks with minimal downtime.

Longer Machining Sessions

Maintaining precision during long machining sessions can be challenging due to thermal expansion. The BM 2740M features advanced thermal displacement compensation, which automatically adjusts for thermal changes, keeping both the spindle and the machine structure accurate. This feature ensures consistent performance during extended operations, maintaining tight tolerances and reducing the need for manual adjustments.

A company using the BM 2740M to produce large automotive molds should benefit from its spindle speed and thermal compensation, which allowed for continuous machining without sacrificing precision.
