Mills CNC, the exclusive distributor of Doosan machine tools in the UK and Ireland, has introduced a new bridge-style vertical machining centre into the market. The BVM 5700 is a premium machine that, owing to its rigid design and build, is said to deliver high levels of accuracy, flexibility, machining performance and reliability.

The machine’s stability is the foundation for its performance. A rigid, thermally stable construction ensures that thermal deformation is minimised and, as a result, high accuracy is possible irrespective of workpiece material or machining parameters.

Says Tony Dale, CEO of Mills CNC: “There is a tendency among some manufacturers to think that bridge-style machining centres are only for large part processing. This is not the case.With the BVM 5700, Doosan have focused their efforts on creating a compact, powerful and highly rigid machine with a wide application potential and appeal. Irrespective of whether high material removal or super-fine finishing are required, the BVM 5700 delivers.”

The BVM 5700 offers travel distances of 1050 x 570 x 460 mm in the X, Y and Z axes, and a well-proportioned work table measuring 1300 x 570 mm, with a 1000 kg maximum table load. A 30/40 tool ATC with a 1.3 second tool-to-tool changeover time supports rapid traverse rates of 42 m/min.

The machine’s built-in BT40 spindle (37 kW/15,000 rpm) can generate 214 Nm of torque.

Doosan’s BVM 5700 features the Big Plus dual contact face and taper spindle/tooling interface and a smart thermal compensation system comprising multiple sensors strategically positioned around the machine. The machine is equipped with the Doosan Fanuc i Plus control featuring 15” touchscreen and intuitive iHMI.
