BFW Omega high-speed drill-tap centres: 12,000 rpm (24,000 option), 54 m/min rapids, 1.9 s chip-to-chip. Duo and Penta versions. Request a quote.
The BFW Omega series is a high-speed drill-tap centre designed for mass production of small and medium-sized parts. A directly coupled spindle, rapids of 54 / 54 / 48 m/min and a 1.9-second chip-to-chip time cut the non-productive seconds that decide your cost per part.
The directly coupled spindle reaches up to 12,000 rpm, or 24,000 rpm as an option, ideal for small drills, taps and high-speed finishing in aluminium and steel. Rigid tapping, absolute encoders on all axes and electronic counterbalance of the Z axis are all standard.
Omega 3060, 3070, 3080, 30100, 4080 and 40100 cover X travels up to 1000 mm. The Omega 40100, for example, offers a 1000 × 500 mm table, 1000 / 600 / 500 mm travels and a 500 kg table load. The same platform is also available as Omega Duo (two spindles) and Omega Penta (five axes).
An automatic front door, a robot-loading interface, a tool breakage sensor and through-spindle coolant at 16 or 40 bar make the Omega easy to integrate into lights-out or semi-attended production. An increased daylight version and provision for 4th and 5th axes give room for future parts.
If your parts need heavier cutting or a larger table, compare the Omega with the BFW Xtron VMC. For pallet-based production with minimal idle time, see the Novell V+ pallet-changer VMC.

A compact, high-speed vertical machining centre optimised for drilling, tapping and light milling. Fast spindle acceleration, rapids and tool changes keep cycle times short in mass production.
Rapid traverse is 54 / 54 / 48 m/min on X / Y / Z, the spindle reaches up to 12,000 rpm (24,000 rpm optional) and the tool change takes 1.9 seconds chip-to-chip.
Omega Duo is the dual-spindle version for machining two parts at once. Omega Penta is the 5-axis version for multi-face parts in one clamping.
Yes. An automatic front door and a robot-loading interface are available as options.
