Shimada Lathes and Bar Machines

Shimada B6 Series Cam-Less 6-Spindle Automatic Bar Machine

B6 Series Cam-Less 6-Spindle Automatic Bar Machine with CNC Slides -
Turning bar material is considered time- and space-consuming
. Shimada challenges that belief with high-speed turning using 6 spindles. 

• Turning is possible up to a maximum diameter of 16mm (.63"), 27mm (1.06") and 32mm (1.26")
• Three NC slides can be mounted
• Saves space, energy, and manpower
• Integrated spindle motors are available for spindle stopping and C-Axis positioning, as well as constant surface footage
