BihlerTEC, the machine tool specialist, presented its latest development at a recent in-house exhibition. The Bihler bushing machine provides easy handling and the highest precision. Designed for the manufacture of cylindrical, straight bushes and flanged bushes, the RM40B can produce these without problems in inner diameters from 6-18mm, and up to a maximum of 40mm long. The machine speed is infinitely adjustable and varies, subject to the type of bush. If the speed, for flanged bushes (collared bushes), is at 250 1/min, it climbs to 400 1/min for cylindrical, straight bushes.

The new Bihler bushing machine

Bihler offers the RM 40B as a cost-effective complete package which consists of a compact basic machine, standard accessories and clearly arranged tool components. The basic machine corresponds to the model RM 40K, but the number of drive positions is reduced to 12. The standard accessories include a mechanical gripper feed with hydraulic clamping, the BRA-II-75 strip straightener, a 70 kN 12mm stroke two-point eccentric press, two positively-controlled normal slide units with a nominal force of 30 kN and 25mm stroke, a central mandrel with 30 kN nominal force and 50mm stroke, a 60 kN transverse press with 35mm stroke, a rotary table drive and user and personnel protection. The RM 40B tooling consists of three components: the basic tooling – two sets of tool fixtures and the active parts (tool changeover parts). The latter is to be manufactured by the customer, but Bihler can supply the respective tool blanks. To achieve the fastest possible tool changeover times (partly less than 10 minutes), the second set of tool fixtures can be pre-equipped for another bush type. The rapid-change tooling system to be handled via a switch also adds to extremely short re-tooling times. Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co KG – Germany
