PAMA Speedmat 3000 vs Toshiba BTD-200QH
PAMA vs Shibaura Machine · CNC Boring Machines
Summary
The PAMA Speedmat 3000 and Toshiba BTD-200QH are both CNC boring machines with a 30 kW (40 HP) spindle. The PAMA is the larger of the two, with 2,500 x 2,000 x 1,800 mm of travel against 1,500 x 1,200 x 700 mm on the Toshiba, and it weighs 35,000 kg (77,162 lb) against 18,000 kg (39,600 lb).
Spindle speed depends on configuration. The Speedmat 3000 runs 5 - 4,000 RPM as standard; the BTD-200QH runs 3,000 RPM standard, with a 5,000 RPM high-speed option. The PAMA uses a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control, the Toshiba a TOSNUC 999 CNC. With spindle power equal, the envelope is the main reason to pick one over the other.

Advantages
PAMA Speedmat 3000
- 2,500 mm (98.4 in) X travel against 1,500 mm (59.1 in)
- 1,800 mm (70.9 in) Z travel against 700 mm (27.6 in)
- 4,000 RPM standard spindle speed against 3,000 RPM standard
Toshiba BTD-200QH
- 5,000 RPM high-speed spindle option
- Smaller, lighter machine at 18,000 kg (39,600 lb) against 35,000 kg (77,162 lb)
Verdict
The PAMA Speedmat 3000 is for gearbox housings, pump casings and valve bodies that need up to 2,500 mm of X and 1,800 mm of Z travel. The Toshiba BTD-200QH suits mold bases, die sets and housings within 1,500 x 1,200 x 700 mm, and shops that want the 5,000 RPM option for finishing work. Both have 30 kW at the spindle, so envelope and control preference decide.
