Vertical Machining Center BA 1500
Highlights
State-of-the art universal vertical machining center for single part and batch production of small and medium lot sizes.
The special KUNZMANN features:
Construction
- FEM-optimized cast cross construction with C-column that carries the vertical spindle and the tool changer
- unique working area with large Y (750 mm) and Z (up to 900 mm) axis – perfect for the manufacturing of cubic workpieces
- linear guideways in X/Y/Z axis for dynamic axis travelling
- large ball screws in all axes (X axis 45 mm, Y and Z axis 40 mm) guarantee high stability
- pneumatic adjustment of the counterbalance in the Z axis supports ball screws, ensures dynamic axis movement, and improves surface quality
- numerous manufacturing options due to different spindle types
- highly efficient manufacturing process due to 38-/60-pocket tool changer
- Even the standard BA 1500 is equipped with a slat band chip conveyor and an individually adjustable bath rinsing.
Machine accuracy
- ground ball screws in all axes provide high-precision positioning and repeatability
- constant spindle temperature due to standard spindle cooling unit
- direct incremental linear encoder systems, sealing air-protected in all axes for precise processing (option)
Ergonomics
- working area directly accessible due to spacious front doors
- The machine table has a comfortable height (approx. 1,000 mm) and can be closely driven towards the front doors for optimum access to the clamping table and the workpiece.
- The movable and height-adjustable control console and the electronic handwheel facilitate machine setup and retooling.
- The smooth, inclined interior surfaces facilitate chip drain and cleaning.
- Additional service doors on both cabin sides make this machine particularly service-friendly.

Emulsion mist suction system
- Removal of oil and emulsion mist for a clean working area after extensive coolant use
- Health and environment benefit from pollutant reduction.
Touch probe systems
Combined with the probing cycles of the control, triggering 3D touch probe systems facilitate setup, measuring, and monitoring during manufacturing.
Tool wear control/measuring
In addition to a fast tool wear control, the control also provides cycles for the automatic gathering of tool data during the manufacturing process:
- tool length
- tool radius
- tool wear
4./5. 4th/5th axis – CNC dividing heads
- CNC dividing heads are an economic and flexible extension for multilateral processing of complex workpieces.
- Machines can be used for simultaneous 5-side or 5-axis processing.
- Different designs meet individual requirements.
Contouring Control HEIDENHAIN TNC7 BASIC
Compact control with 19” screen and intuitive control panel
HEIDENHAIN’s TNC7 BASIC allows for an intuitive machine operation via clearly structured and context-sensitive user interfaces and softkeys for frequently used functions. The electronic handwheel HR 510 FS supports the operator in setting up and retooling the machine.
