2-Axis Chuckers

Advanced Design for Superior Machine Reliability

You need a rugged turning lathe that’s precise and reliable. Our 2-axis horizontal CNC lathes/chuckers are heavy-duty machines designed specifically for heavy-duty cutting applications on large chucker-style parts. The compact design of the Bardons & Oliver column type CNC turning machine combines rigidity, tooling flexibility and heavy metal removal capability with exceptional accuracy.

  • The chuck sizes on these machines range from 12" to 32", with spindle mounted faceplates from 15" to 44" in diameter
  • The unique column design allows for true 12-station interference-free tooling
  • The machine design also provides superior operator access to the chuck for ease of part load/unload, as well as workholding changeover
  • All critical mechanical and electronic components are located outside the chip and coolant environment for superior machine reliability and proven long service life

The column-style turning machines are built on rigid, heavy cast iron or composite machine bases and slides for maximum stability and durability.

Other features of this line of machines include:

  • 2-speed, gear-driven headstock for maximum cutting horsepower at low RPMs
  • Highest cutting horsepower available on any 2-axis turning machine in size class
  • Large interference-free part swing envelope
  • Large-capacity chip conveyor easily handles heavy chip removal rates
  • Self-contained machine design allows for easy relocation within customer’s plant
  • Taper roller bearing mounted spindle systems provide superior weight-carrying capacity for heavy workholding packages and workpieces
  • Optional angular contact ball bearing mounted spindle systems provide maximum thru-hole capacity at the highest possible spindle speeds
  • Largest spindle bores (3"–12") in the turning industry handle large-diameter bar and tube applications and swallow long chucking work
  • Multiple longitudinal tool head mounting positions on each turret station for minimal tool overhang and maximum tool rigidity
  • Flexible I.D. (boring) tool head design allows easy adaptation to quick-change tooling
  • Gang and multiple-tip tooling can be easily mounted on any tool station
  • Optional free-standing coolant tank for superior coolant management
  • Readily adaptable to super high-pressure (2,000 psi and higher) coolant systems

Heavy-duty, domestically built Bardons & Oliver 2-axis chuckers will handle your most demanding chucking work with ease.
