MFG BC5050/BC5063 PLC Controlled Slotting Machine

Servo-Driven Feed, Crank-Connecting Rod Drive & Automatic Tool Relief for Precision Slotting

Product Overview
The MFG BC5050/BC5063 is an advanced slotting machine engineered for processing flat planes, forming surfaces, grooves, keyways, and low-requirement indexing surfaces.

Designed for single-piece and small-batch production, this machine upgrades traditional mechanical feeding with an advanced PLC digital control system and servo motor drive.

Built on a highly rigid, two-piece split cast iron bed, it features a heavy-duty crank-connecting rod transmission, rectangular guideways, and a centralized pendant control station, ensuring stable cutting speeds, high material removal rates, and precise stroke control.

Key Features & Engineering Details

• Advanced PLC & Servo Motor Feed: Replacing traditional mechanical feed systems, the worktable utilizes a modern PLC system and servo motors to drive the longitudinal (vertical), transverse (horizontal), and circular feeding motions, offering fast forward/reverse movements and precise motorized feeds.
• Heavy-Duty Main Transmission: Housed within the upper bed, the main drive consists of a robust gearbox and a crank-connecting rod mechanism. This design delivers exceptionally high cutting force with minimal impact, stable speeds, and highly accurate control over the ram's stroke length.
• Automatic Tool Relief System: To protect the cutting tool and improve surface finish, the slide mechanism is engineered to automatically lift the tool during the return stroke, preventing unnecessary friction and extending tool life.
• Rigid Rectangular Guideways: The lower bed is equipped with wear-resistant cast iron rectangular guide rails. This geometry provides a massive contact surface and superior rigidity, ensuring long-lasting precision and resistance to heavy cutting vibrations.
• Centralized Pendant Control: Machine operations are centralized into a safe and convenient hanging button station (pendant). Operators can easily adjust both the position and the stroke length of the slide directly from the control panel.
• 3-Axis Rotary Worktable: The worktable supports continuous feeding across three axes. It is equipped with physical terminal limit switches for safety and features six heavy-duty clamping handles on the upper and lower slides for secure operational setup.
• Integrated Lubrication & Cooling: The machine ensures long component lifespan through a forced centralized lubrication system. Dual cast oil pools (one in the upper bed for lubrication, one in the lower bed for the built-in cooling system) maintain optimal thermal stability during continuous operation.
