Following its successful launch Suhner is presenting the BEA 16 spindle machining unit with an all new drive and control concept. The objective of this new development was the integration of the latest servo drive and control technology from Bosch Rexroth. Software developed in addition allows the user to program six different basic cycles without prior knowledge of CNC.

By visualising these six cycles - drilling - combined drilling (drilling and thread cutting with the one tool) - thread cutting - drilling with chip removal - drilling with jump function - undercutting, the unit has become extremely easy to program.

And should the required machining cycle not be found among the standard selections or prove more complex, the unit can be switched to so called sentence programming. The BEA 16 machining unit itself is a precision unit from the Suhner spindle machining unit series that have been designed for gruelling continuous use in multiple shift operations. The BEA 16 has a drilling capacity of 16 mm
