CNC - Multi Spindle Machine Bar TypeShimada’s B6 – NC Series Lathes are a family of Camless 6-spindle Automatics which can be fed with an automatic bar feeder and can be optionally equipped with up to 3 CNC slides.

In roughly the foot print of a single spindle lathe, Shimada technology combines the three factors essential to JUST IN TIME manufacturing success; the unparalleled performance of an Auto-matic, the precision and quick set-up time of a CNC, and the unattended productivity of an automatically-loaded bar feeder.

The Shimada B6 provides a superb machineplatform for the quick production of the fulldiversity of high volume parts with exactingaccuracies and requiring minimal set-up times.

1 Models Three models, and bar stock sizes, are available to best meet your

machining requirements. B6- (16, 27, 32) without any CNC slide B6- (16, 27, 32) NC-S with one CNC slide ( X1 - Z1 ) B6- (16, 27, 32) NC-W with two CNC slides ( X1 - Z1 + X2 - Z2 ) B6- (16, 27, 32) NC-T with three CNC slides

( X1 - Z1 + X2 - Z2 + X3 - Z3 )

2 Set up Easy set-up. No cams are used. The CNC operation completely eliminates

the need for expensive, time-consuming designing, manufacture, and verification of cams. The typical set-up of even a very complicated part can be completed in less than three hours.

3 CNC control is optionally available for the End Tool Post, Cross Slide, and Back Spindle for even easier and more accurate feed control.

4 NC Slide Utilizing Shimada’s Automatic Index Error Compensation and CNC

slides, high precision machining is a snap. The CNC tool post(s) simplify complicated contouring, single point threading, or other highly-precise operations. As with any CNC, the dimensional requirements are easily maintained with use of the tool offsets.

5 Spindle The spindle bearing ID is 70mm (2 ¾”), largest in its class, and

sufficiently robust enough to support even the heavier work pieces.

6 Bar Feeder An Automatic Bar Loading System comes standard with each bar feeder.

With a 3.3M (130”) bar length capacity, the loading system incorporates a shock absorber which ensures that even large diameter bars reach the loading station smoothly and without jamming.

Bar remnants are automatically ejected at the rear end of the loader. The system includes an automatic, pre-programmed inching device to

feed the new bar a few millimeters beyond the cut-off tool so the bar’s rough end can be faced off.

Bar Feeders are to be chosen from IEMCA or PIETRO CUCCHI brands.

7 Tooling Various optional tooling attachments are available to further maximize

the machine’s efficiency. These can include a tapping attachment, a thread rolling attachment, a high speed drilling attachment, or even independent feed of end tools. Shimada expertise can solve every machining difficulty.

8 The B6 Series incorporates a large machining zone and chip floor in a small footprint.

9 Shimada’s B6-NC models are equipped with highly reliable Fanuc drives and motors and are operated by a user-friendly Fanuc control. Castings and all internal components are of Japanese origin and meet stringent JIS requirements.

Wide Tooling Zone for Easy Set-up

Shimada B6-NC Series comes with a bar feeder equipped with automatic bar loading and remnant discharging system. Combined features of CNC flexibility, 6-spindle speed and easy set-up makes B6-NC Series an ideal machine for large volume production with short turn-around time.

SHIMADA has over sixty years of chucker-type lathe building experience. The new design of our B6-NC Series comes from the know-how and expertise we’ve obtained with the successful installation of over 4,000 multiple spindle machines. The B6 is affordably prices, comes with a few unique features and functions, and is offered with several tooling choices.

SHIMADA’s bar-fed, cam-less B6-NC Series provides a new concept in flexible and effective 6 spindle machining.
