Overview

The Miyano BNE-65 THLMY is a fixed-headstock turning center listed for bar work up to 65 mm (2.56 in), with a 4,500 RPM main spindle, a 5,000 RPM sub-spindle and a Y axis at both ends of the part. Citizen's current lineup does not include it, so it will normally be a used purchase, and the listed figures are worth confirming on the machine itself.

The main spindle is listed at 18.5 / 22 kW (24.8 / 29.5 HP) with a 72 mm (2.83 in) bore and a 200 mm (7.87 in) chuck. The sub-spindle has 7.5 / 11 kW (10 / 14.8 HP), roughly half, so the heavy turning belongs on the main side and the sub-spindle is there to finish the cut-off face and the back features. Turning is listed to 170 mm (6.69 in) in diameter and 300 mm (11.81 in) in length on the main spindle.

Tooling sits on a 12-station turret that takes VDI 40 or BMT holders. Driven tools run to 5,000 RPM with 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 HP). The Y stroke of ±52 mm (±2.05 in) is listed for both the main and the sub-spindle side, so flats, cross holes and off-centre pockets can be done at either end. The axis list runs to nine with the B axis marked optional; check whether a given machine was built with it.

On the floor it needs 3,400 x 2,200 x 2,050 mm (133.9 x 86.6 x 80.7 in), a 35 kVA rated supply and a foundation for 6,500 kg (14,330 lbs). Rapids are listed at 30 m/min on X and Z and 15 m/min on Y, and the control is a Mitsubishi M80 with Miyano software.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed for bar work up to 65 mm (2.56 in) through a 72 mm (2.83 in) spindle bore
Main spindle listed at 18.5 / 22 kW (24.8 / 29.5 HP) with a 200 mm (7.87 in) chuck
Y stroke of ±52 mm (±2.05 in) on both the main and the sub-spindle side
12-station turret for VDI 40 or BMT holders, with driven tools to 5,000 RPM at 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 HP)
Rapids of 30 m/min on X and Z

Limitations

The 4,500 RPM main spindle limits surface speed on small diameters at the end of a large bar
The B axis is listed as optional, so it cannot be assumed on a used machine
Sub-spindle rated 7.5 / 11 kW (10 / 14.8 HP), well below the main spindle, so back-side cuts stay light
Needs a 35 kVA rated supply and floor for 6,500 kg (14,330 lbs)

Best For

Bar work up to 65 mm (2.56 in) in diameter Parts machined on both ends using the sub-spindle Off-centre drilling and milling with ±52 mm (±2.05 in) of Y Shops already tooled with VDI 40 or BMT holders

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What bar size does the Miyano BNE-65 THLMY take?

Bar work is listed up to 65 mm (2.56 in), through a 72 mm (2.83 in) spindle bore. The listed chuck is 200 mm (7.87 in), and turning is listed to 170 mm (6.69 in) in diameter and 300 mm (11.81 in) in length on the main spindle.

02 Does the BNE-65 THLMY have a Y axis on both spindles?

The table lists a Y stroke of ±52 mm (±2.05 in) for the main and the sub-spindle side, and an axis set of X1, Z1, Y1, C1 and X2, Z2, Y2, C2. A B axis is listed as optional, so check the axis list of a specific machine before relying on it.

03 What tooling does the turret accept?

The turret has 12 stations for VDI 40 or BMT tooling. Driven tools run to 5,000 RPM with 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 HP) of drive, which covers drilling, tapping and moderate milling on bar up to 65 mm (2.56 in).

04 What does the machine need on the shop floor?

A 35 kVA rated supply and room for a machine of 3,400 x 2,200 x 2,050 mm (133.9 x 86.6 x 80.7 in) weighing 6,500 kg (14,330 lbs). Leave space beyond that for bar loading at the main spindle and for chip handling.
