Our best estimate for a cnc boring machine in this class — not a quote from Shibaura Machine. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Toshiba Machine BTD-200 is listed as a horizontal table-type boring mill, with the model row reading BTD-200QF and marked as a discontinued model. The listed figures need care. They fall into two groups that do not describe the same machine, and the model is not on Shibaura Machine's current pages to settle which is right.

One group describes a compact table machine: a 4.3 in spindle, 39.4 in of table travel in X and 39.4 in of head travel in Y, 15.7 in of spindle travel, a 39.4 x 39.4 in table, 20 hp, a TOSNUC 888 control and a weight of 35,200 lb.

The other group describes something far larger: a 200 mm (7.87 in) spindle, travels given as typical ranges of 6,000 to 20,000 mm in X, 4,000 to 6,000 mm in Y and 3,000 to 5,000 mm in Z, a 1,000 mm (39.4 in) quill, 100+ kW (134+ hp) of continuous power, 60,000+ Nm of peak torque and a Fanuc 31i-B5 or Siemens 840D sl control. A 35,200 lb machine with a 39.4 in table and a machine with 20,000 mm of X travel are not the same machine.

The rows agree on little. Both give 1,600 rpm as the top spindle speed, and the taper is listed as ISO 50 or a custom face plate. For anyone assessing a real machine, its nameplate and its own documents are the only dependable guide to spindle size, travels, power and control.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Both groups of listed figures give a top spindle speed of 1,600 rpm
Spindle taper is listed as ISO 50, with a custom face plate as the alternative
One group of rows lists a compact build: a 39.4 x 39.4 in table and a machine weight of 35,200 lb
A CNC floor-mounted rotary table is listed as an option

Limitations

The listed figures conflict: spindle size appears as both 4.3 in and 200 mm (7.87 in), and power as both 20 hp and 100+ kW (134+ hp)
The control is listed as TOSNUC 888 in one row and as Fanuc 31i-B5 or Siemens 840D sl in another
Marked as a discontinued model and absent from Shibaura Machine's current pages
A top speed of 1,600 rpm restricts the machine to boring and heavy milling

Best For

Boring and face milling at spindle speeds up to 1,600 rpm Work tooled with ISO 50 holders, as listed for the spindle taper Shops assessing an existing machine with its nameplate and documents to hand

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Are the listed figures for the Toshiba Machine BTD-200 consistent?

No. One group of rows gives a 4.3 in spindle, 39.4 in of X and Y travel, a 39.4 x 39.4 in table, 20 hp and 35,200 lb. The other gives a 200 mm (7.87 in) spindle, typical X travel of 6,000 to 20,000 mm and 100+ kW (134+ hp). These cannot describe one machine, so check the nameplate and documents of the machine itself.

02 What is the spindle speed of the Toshiba Machine BTD-200?

The speed rows agree on a 1,600 rpm maximum, and one gives the range as 1 to 1,600 rpm through a multi-step gearbox. The taper is listed as ISO 50 or a custom face plate. Spindle power is not settled by the table, which gives 20 hp in one row and 100+ kW (134+ hp) in another.

03 Is the Toshiba Machine BTD-200 still made?

The model row reads BTD-200QF and marks it as a discontinued model, and it is not on Shibaura Machine's current pages. A machine with a similar name, the BTD-200QS, lists a 39 x 47 in (1,000 x 1,200 mm) table rated for 8,800 lb (4,000 kg), a 5,000 rpm high-speed head and 30 tools.

04 Which control does the Toshiba Machine BTD-200 use?

The table is not consistent on this. One row lists CNC (TOSNUC 888). Another lists Fanuc 31i-B5 or Siemens 840D sl. On an existing machine the control fitted is easy to confirm by inspection, and it should be, because it decides how the machine is programmed and what a later retrofit would involve.
