Campro CPL-3518MC

Q: How much does the Campro CPL-3518MC cost?

The price estimate for the Campro CPL-3518MC is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/campro-cpl-3518mc#price; the request is passed to Campro or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Campro CPL-3518MC that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Campro CPL-3518MC is a 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) box-way turning and milling center for long, heavy shafts. It swings 900 mm (35.4 in) over the bed, turns up to 590 mm (23.2 in) in diameter and, in standard form, 2,050 mm (80.7 in) in length.

Campro's statement that the CPL-MC series accommodates workpieces up to 590 mm in diameter and 3,000 mm in length refers to this end of the range. The 3,000 mm figure is the long-bed option; a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) short bed is also listed. Milling length is 2,150 mm (84.6 in) on the standard bed.

The turret changes type at this size. Campro fits a BMT turret to the CPL-3518MC and CPL-3520MC, and says it provides superior rigidity for forward and reverse machining through high locking forces. The system is BMT-75 with 12 positions, a 5.5 / 7.5 kW turret servo motor and 4,000 rpm driven tools. Bolted BMT holders suit the heavier milling a machine of this mass can sustain, at the cost of the quick change of the VDI turrets on the smaller models.

The ways are precision ground box ways with scraped Turcite-B. The main spindle is A2-11 with an 18 in chuck, a Ø117.5 mm (Ø4.6 in) draw tube hole, a 22 / 26 kW (35 HP) motor and a 2,000 rpm limit; C-axis indexing is 0.001°. X travel is 350 + 35 mm with a 20 m/min rapid, and Z rapid is 15 m/min on the standard bed.

The tailstock quill is Ø150 mm (Ø5.9 in). Standard floor plan with chip conveyor is 6,313 x 2,250 mm (248 in x 88 in), coolant capacity 450 L (117 gal) and power capacity 40 kVA.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the capacity of the CPL-3518MC?

Maximum swing over the bed 900 mm (35.4 in), over the carriage 700 mm (27.5 in), maximum turning diameter 590 mm (23.2 in). Maximum turning length is 2,050 mm (80.7 in), with options of 1,400 mm (55.1 in) and 3,000 mm (118.1 in).

02 Why does the CPL-3518MC use a BMT turret?

Campro states that the CPL-3518MC / 3520MC are equipped with a BMT turret, which provides superior rigidity for forward and reverse machining and stability under heavy loads due to high locking forces. The smaller CPL-MC models use a VDI turret. The system here is BMT-75.

03 What are the spindle and live tool ratings of the CPL-3518MC?

Main spindle: 22 / 26 kW (35 HP), 2,000 rpm, A2-11 nose, Ø117.5 mm (Ø4.6 in) hole through the draw tube. Live tools: 4,000 rpm maximum tool speed with a 5.5 / 7.5 kW turret servo motor. The C axis indexes in 0.001° steps.

04 How heavy is the CPL-3518MC?

13,000 kg (28,660 lb) on the standard bed. The short-bed and long-bed options are listed at 11,500 kg (25,353 lb) and 16,000 kg (35,274 lb). Power capacity is 40 kVA and the coolant tank holds 450 L (117 gal).
