Biela Concept - Connecting Rod Solutions
Introduction
Based on a common platform of components, the Biela Concept offers a robust and modular design that is arranged to address the full spectrum of connecting rod machining operations.
Finally, you do not have to sacrifice productivity to achieve more flexibility. Based on a single standard platform, the Biela Concept provides a robust modular design with a combination of features that help you increase your competitiveness.
- Design for all connecting rod machining operations, from roughing to fine boring
- Rigid construction ensuring high machining accuracy
- Optimized chip evacuation for MQL or wet machining, with fully enclosed stainless steel guarding
- Ergonomic tool change design
- Easy access for maintenance
- Production proven for both powder metal and forging
- Linear scales on all axes
- Independent X axis for higher precision in multi-spindle heads
- 3,4 or 5 connecting rods per fixture
- Automatic tool wear compensation capability for multi-spindle fine boring
- Flexible tool interface depending on operation
High productivity through multi-spindle machining
Multi-spindle heads enable simultaneous machining of multiple operations.
This significantly reduces cycle times, floorspace and maximizes productivity
Modular configurations for different production needs
The platform allows different configurations depending on production requirements.
From compact setups to high-capacity multi-unit configurations.
Precision under real production conditions
The machine ensures dimensional accuracy under real operating conditions, including automatic tool wear compensation when required.
This guarantees stable and consistent results even for high demanding finishing tolerances.
Optimized for connecting rod geometries
Specifically designed for machining connecting rods and their critical features.
Ensures consistent accuracy across all key geometrical characteristics, including trumpet boring and oval shapes.
Machine architecture
Machining unit
- Clamping fixture mounted to column with Y, Z axes. The clamping fixture produces the Z motion for a higher precision.
- 1 or 2 multi-spindle units with independent X axis. Each multi-spindle unit is equipped with different rows of spindles.
- Multi-spindle heads with 4, 5 or 6 exits/row and up to 4 rows/head.
- 1 or 2 multi-spindle units, depending on the production volumes.
Fixture options
- 4, 5 or 6 parts per fixture.
- NC motion in the fixture for automatic change-over between parts as an option.
Load/unload options
- Gantry load.
- Robot load.
- Manual load. Directly to the fixture or by means of a loader integrated in the machine design.
