We do not have a price for the Fidia BSE 1700 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 Fidia BSE 1700 is a 3-axis bridge-type high-speed machining centre with a fixed twin-column bridge and a moving table. Travels are 1,750 mm (68.9 in) in X, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Y and 750 mm (29.5 in) in Z, over a 1,600 x 1,000 mm (63.0 x 39.4 in) table that carries 3,000 kg (6,614 lb).
The distance between the columns is 1,750 mm (68.9 in), far wider than the Y travel. Fidia makes the point that this eases the mounting of large workpieces and fixtures, and that the high column helps with tall parts and long cutting tools. The twin column and bridge are a single Meehanite casting, which keeps the spindle close to the structure that carries it.
For a machine with a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table it is quick: axis feed rates are 30 / 30 / 30 m/min on roller guideways, and the built-in motor spindle runs at 18,000 rpm on HSK 63A with 26/32 kW, 124/154 Nm. A 24,000 rpm electrospindle is optional. Linear scales are in the basic machine, and accuracy to VDI 3441 is P = 0.012 mm positioning and PS = 0.008 mm repeatability.
The automatic tool changer has 24 positions as standard, with 32 / 40 / 60 optional, for tools up to 80 mm / 250 mm and 7 kg. The BSE 2200 is the larger size, with 2,200 mm (86.6 in) of X and a 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) table load on the same column spacing.
