The Biglia B 445 S2M is a used CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — designed for high-precision machining of bar stock and chucked components. Lathes of this type are used across a wide range of metalworking industries to turn, face, bore, and thread workpieces to tight tolerances. Biglia is an Italian machine tool builder with a long-standing reputation for producing high-specification CNC lathes and turning centres used in demanding production environments, including automotive, aerospace, and precision engineering.
This machine is configured as a twin-spindle lathe with both a main spindle and a sub spindle, each sharing identical specifications: a maximum speed of 4,000 rpm, an ASA 5-inch spindle nose, a 56 mm spindle bore, a 90 mm bearing inner diameter, and a motor power of 7.5 kW. The twin-spindle arrangement allows a workpiece to be transferred automatically from the main spindle to the sub spindle for second operations, enabling complete part machining in a single cycle without manual re-chucking. The control system is a GE Fanuc Series 18i-T, a well-regarded CNC platform suited to multi-axis turning applications.
In terms of workpiece capacity, the machine accommodates bar stock up to 45 mm in diameter, a maximum working length of 200 mm, and second-operation chucking diameters up to 160 mm. The turret carries 12 tool positions, indexes bidirectionally with a single-position indexing time of 0.2 seconds, and accepts external tool shanks of 20×20 mm and boring bars with a 32 mm shank diameter. Live tooling is fitted across both heads, with 12 positions per head, a variable speed range of 100 to 3,000 rpm, and a motor power of 3.7 kW, enabling driven tool operations such as milling, drilling, and tapping to be performed on the turning centre without secondary setups.
The machine's axis strokes are 158 mm on the X-axis, 240 mm on the Z-axis, and 420 mm on the B-axis. Overall dimensions including the chip conveyor are 4,107 × 2,128 × 2,204 mm (height), and total weight with the conveyor is 6,700 kg. The machine is supplied complete with an Iemca bar loader, enabling automated bar feeding for unattended or lights-out production. Manufactured in 2001 and currently located in Italy, the machine is offered in used condition.
