Overview

The Burkhardt + Weber BAZ Series represents the German machine tool builder's line of horizontal boring and machining centers designed for precision machining of large, complex workpieces in automotive, aerospace, and general engineering sectors. Built around a traveling column design with heavy cast iron construction, the BAZ series provides stable, vibration-damped machining across its full work envelope. Spindle sizes of 80mm, 100mm, and 130mm are available to match application requirements. The integrated pallet changer (1,600 to 3,150mm pallet sizes) enables continuous production by loading the next workpiece while machining proceeds. Burkhardt + Weber engineers the BAZ series with Siemens 840D sl and their own TDC (Tool Data Control) system that manages tool information, collision avoidance, and adaptive feed control. The BAZ series is particularly strong in automotive powertrain component and large gearbox housing machining.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the TDC tool data control system?

TDC (Tool Data Control) is Burkhardt + Weber's intelligent tool management system integrated with the Siemens 840D sl control. It maintains a database of all tools in the machine, automatically checks for collision risks before executing any toolpath, and adapts feed rates based on tool wear monitoring data.
