A series of Churchill Omega 80 turning centres have been supplied by the BSA Machine Tool Division to Royal Ordnance in a contract worth £750,000.

The Omega Series machines can feature two identical VDI turrets that can be equipped with driven tools in any of the 24 available stations.

With swings up to 380 mm and able to handle bar of 80 mm, the Omegas have a 22 kW spindle motor producing 4,500 revs/min, 24 m/min rapids for both primary and secondary linear axes, plus C and Y axes capability.

The Y axis is a true linear axis incorporated as a horizontal slide between the Z and X axes.

The C axis (spindle rotation) is particularly required for the generation of flats, helical grooves, polygons, circumferential face slots, spiral grooves and other non-round forms.

Churchill Omegas are available in a number of variants to accommodate bar from 26 mm to 80 mm with swings from 200 mm to 380 mm and able to turn lengths from 316 mm to 1 m.
