The Biglia Smart Turn 1200 L is a used lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — dating from 2009 and currently located in Italy. Lathes of this type are precision machine tools used to shape metal workpieces by rotating them against cutting tools, and are central to the production of shafts, flanges, bushings, and a wide range of cylindrical components across engineering, automotive, and general manufacturing industries. Biglia is an Italian machine tool builder with a long-standing reputation for producing high-performance CNC turning and milling machines serving demanding industrial sectors.
This machine offers considerable capacity, accepting bar stock up to 95 mm in diameter and chuck-loaded workpieces up to 500 mm in diameter, with a maximum working length of 1,250 mm and a maximum rotating diameter of 700 mm. The main electrospindle operates across a variable speed range of 40 to 2,800 rpm, is fitted with an ASA 8-inch spindle nose, and has a spindle bore of 111 mm. The spindle bearings have an internal diameter of 150 mm, the self-centring chuck diameter is 315 mm, and the main spindle motor delivers 30 kW of power.
The machine is equipped with a motorized electrospindle head using HSK-63 tooling attachment, capable of reaching up to 6,000 rpm and driven by a 9 kW motor, enabling live milling and driven-tool operations directly on the lathe. A B-axis unit extends the machine's multi-axis capability, with a total rotation range of 205°, extending 15° beyond the tailstock axis and 10° beyond the spindle axis, with angular positions lockable mechanically at every 5° increment.
The cross slide provides substantial travel across three axes: 1,300 mm in Z, 520 mm in X, and 210 mm in Y — the Y axis offering an asymmetric range of +120 mm to −90 mm — giving the machine the flexibility needed for complex, off-centre machining operations. The following tailstock has a positioning stroke of 1,100 mm, a quill stroke of 150 mm, and a quill diameter of 115 mm.
Tool storage is handled by a 40-position magazine. Tools with adjacent positions occupied can be up to 80 mm in diameter, while tools in isolated positions can reach 140 mm in diameter. The combination of a large spindle capacity, live tooling, a B axis, Y-axis travel, and a generous tool magazine makes this a well-specified multi-tasking turning centre suited to complex part production in a single setup.
