Manufacturing automotives and their components is a challenging task, given the high precision and tight deadlines they demand. And yes, their numbers, complexities and challenges keep increasing by the day. All this means that the manufacturers have to keep upgrading their plants and equipment’s besides training and re-training their operators.

In this scenario, the entry of a machine maker who can do more with less i.e., create the required or better output with the existing technology with bare minimum changes, is always welcome!

Bharat Fritz Werner’s PL 360, a horizontal turning centre is one such application. The PL 360 has been made specifically to meet the machining needs of   power-train components for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. This piece of machinery has high precision, a compact footprint besides a modular concept of flexible guards for easy maintenance. Its USP is that it can, with minimum of changes be accommodated in existing machining lines.

One look at its standard features and you get a confirmed feeling that BFW has taken care of the smallest of details so that operations are smooth, trouble free and will run for a long, long time!

Standard Feature include:
Automatic lubrication for slide ways (including pressure & level switches)
Built-in operator console
Foot switch for chuck
Complete electrical fittings for 3 phase AC 415+/- 10% 50 HZ +/- 1 HZ
Coolant level indicator
Leveling screws and plates
Front manual interlock
Hydraulic oil level indicator
Manual pulse generator
One set of manuals in English
Process completion lamp
Spindle job switch
Tool box with toolkit
Work light
Write protect with key switch
Coolant pumping unit with chiptray
Machine color as per customer requirement
Air conditioner for main electrical panel


This is one machine which is a delight for small OEMs as they need not invest in expensive new machines. With bare-minimum changes they can keep using their existing production lines and that makes it special!
