Toshiba BTD-130H.R22

Selling a used Toshiba BTD-130H.R22

Two bodies share this name in Shibaura's catalog, a standard machine and one built with the pallet changer, and they differ in more than pallets. The APC version has 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y travel instead of 2,300 mm (90.5 in), a table load of 8,500 kg (18,700 lbs) instead of 12,000 kg (26,400 lbs); it also weighs 52,000 kg against 39,000 kg. Tell a buyer which body this is, along with its floor space: 6,925 x 6,920 mm standard, 7,935 x 10,855 mm with APC.

A 20 ton table was an option, and it comes with an air lift that slows the machine. With it fitted, the catalog drops rapid traverse on X and Z to 6,000 mm/min (236 ipm) and on B to 300 deg/min, and cutting feed on X and Z to 3,000 mm/min with B at 200 deg/min. On the APC body the heavy rating is 15,000 kg (33,000 lbs). If this table has the air lift, say so and give the rapid rates its control shows.

Power reaches the 130 mm spindle through a 3-step drive, low, middle and high, from a 22/18.5 kW AC motor, with a 30/22 kW high power motor on the option list. The high speed spindle option swaps in a 110 mm spindle reaching 8,000 min-1, its motor rated 26.5/22 kW, and the W stroke falls from 700 mm to 400 mm (15.7 in) with it. Measure the spindle diameter and the W stroke on the machine before naming which spindle it has.

The machine Shibaura's American arm offered under this name in 2020 had standard Big Plus spindle tooling that passes coolant through the spindle. Its APC option carried two pallets, each loaded to as much as 15,000 kg (33,000 lbs). Its probing options were a Renishaw radio touch probe with Shibaura's own measuring software and a calibration block, plus a Renishaw RTS probe to set tool lengths. Record which of these this unit has, and how many pallets.

Three catalog options change how the machine itself was built: an every 90 degree table locate pin, a high rigid feed system on X and Z with 80 mm ball screws, and a long nose spindle head that adds 200 mm (7.9 in) of reach while the spindle keeps its full 700 mm extension. Check the order papers or the service records for each of the three, and name in the description any that this machine was built with.

Coolant on this model is one set per machine: flood coolant with a chip conveyor of the lift-up type and a 370 liter (97.7 gal) tank, through-tool coolant at 1.2 MPa, coolant with air blow, which needs an 11 kW (15 HP) air compressor attached, or through-spindle coolant, which replaces the spindle head unit. An angle head, facing heads C and CS and holders for them were on the same list. Say which coolant set it has and list every head that goes with it.

On this model the 130 mm spindle shifts through three gear ranges: low covers 5 to 190 min-1, medium begins at 191, and high begins at 701 and reaches 2,500. The standard 22 kW drive peaks at 3,182 N·m (324.7 kgf·m) of torque, and the 30 kW high power drive at 4,056 N·m (413.9 kgf·m). Shibaura names facing, boring, drilling and tapping as the work the 3-step drive is meant for. Run the spindle in each range under a light load and record any range that grinds or alarms on the shift.

Shibaura's cutting data for the BTD-130H.R22 opens with a dry face cut in AISI 1055 carbon steel: a 160 mm (6.3 in) cutter with 8 flutes taking a 120 mm (4.7 in) width at 7 mm (0.27 in) depth, out 250 mm (9.8 in) on W. It turns 240 min-1 at 120 m/min, feeds 780 mm/min (30.7 ipm), removes 655 cc/min and draws 24.5 kW (32.8 HP). During any similar cut the shop runs, read the spindle load meter and record the figure.

Two of the cuts work out on the quill. A 600 mm (23.6 in) boring tool out 100 mm (3.9 in) on W turns 53 min-1 at 100 m/min and feeds 34 mm/min, removing 585 cc/min at 22 kW (29.4 HP). An 80 mm roughing end mill with 6 flutes, out 260 mm (10.2 in), takes a 30 by 50 mm cut at 86 m/min, 320 min-1, feeding 430 mm/min for 650 cc/min at 25 kW (33.5 HP). Find out the biggest bore the shop has run here and which head or bar it used.

For holes, the same data set drills with a 69.5 mm (2.7 in) twist drill on a pick cycle with oil coolant, at 22 m/min, 100 min-1, 80 mm/min (0.8 mm per revolution), drawing 13.5 kW (18 HP). It taps M60 x 5.5 in tapping paste at 10 m/min and 54 min-1, 297 mm/min, using 3 kW (4 HP). Synchronous tapping is an option set B item on the TOSNUC 999, so check the option list on the control before a buyer plans large rigid taps.

For fitting a part, the R22 offers X travel of 3,000 mm (118.1 in) and Z travel of 1,600 mm (63 in), and the table centerline sits 800 to 2,400 mm (31.5 to 94.4 in) from the gauge plane of the spindle. The milling nose is 250 mm (9.8 in) across, and the smallest B index is 0.0001 degree. Use those figures, with the Y travel of the body in hand, when a buyer sends a drawing to check fit.

Inside the head, Shibaura nitrides, hardens and grinds the whole spindle and runs it on oversized bearings fed by air-oil mist. For deep hole boring it relies on long-span bearings and the automatic spindle end clamp, and the standard list adds a constant volume mist unit and a cooling unit for the main bearings and the motor flange oil jacket. Ask whether the spindle has been rebuilt and by whom, and keep any bearing report with the listing.

One option makes the spindle a C axis. Spindle normal direction control, which Shibaura also calls spring necked turning, allows cutoff and hale type finishing along an arc or a straight line in any plane, and the catalog points it at seal faces in the slots of parts such as vacuum devices. If it is fitted, a buyer cutting seal grooves will want a sample part or the program that made one.

With the triple teaching option, programs can come from the operator's own work: manual teaching saves the tool path, spindle speed and feed from hand moves as an NC program, MDI teaching saves blocks run one at a time, and auto teaching writes edits made in AUTO or DNC back to memory. Standard storage is 150 m of tape equivalent with 128 programs; options reach 10,200 m and 1,536 programs, or a 2 GB mass memory. Open the memory screen and record the capacity and how much is used.

Chip handling and shop safety fill the rest of the option list: a detachable chip cover A or a cover B, tool magazine guard B, a second coil conveyor fixed on the saddle, an intermittent coolant unit and a 1.8 m3 (6.3 ft3) chip bucket. There were also 8 external M codes, a three color call lamp, a residual current device, and builds to the CE mark or to CSA for Canada. Look for a CE or CSA mark on the plate and name it, since it matters to a buyer outside Japan.

On the BTD-130H.R22 the table is turned through a ring gear by a double pinion drive, its servo motor running under hybrid servo control, and a rotary scale with absolute position detection reads the angle. Shibaura fits that drive, the rotary scale and the table clamp as standard. Index the table a full turn one way and then back, and listen for any knock as the pinions take up the load.
