Biglia B501 Y-S CNC Turning Center with IEMCA Master 880r P Bar Feeder

This listing presents a Biglia B501 Y-S CNC turning center, manufactured in 1999 , offered as a complete and fully operational system together with its integrated IEMCA Master 880r P automatic bar feeder. The machine is currently connected to power and in working condition.

The Biglia B501 Y-S is a well-regarded Italian-built CNC lathe, known for its robust construction and precision. This unit is equipped with a 12-position turret with all 12 stations fully motorised, enabling complex multi-operation cycles including turning, milling, and drilling in a single setup without part re-clamping. The Y-axis configuration further extends the machine's versatility, allowing off-centre milling and cross-drilling operations that are typically reserved for more complex machining centres.

The main spindle accepts bar stock up to 70 mm in diameter (80 mm chuck capacity), while the sub-spindle handles parts up to 50 mm, making the machine well-suited for complete part machining in a single pass. The Fanuc 18 control unit — a proven and widely supported CNC platform — ensures reliable operation and straightforward programming, with a broad availability of qualified technicians and spare parts on the market.

A particularly noteworthy detail: throughout its working life, this machine has been operated exclusively with neat cutting oil (olio intero), never with water-based emulsion coolant. This is considered best practice for preserving the internal components of the spindle, guideways, and turret, and is a strong indicator of careful, professional maintenance.

The bar feeder is an IEMCA Master 880r P, one of the most reputable automatic bar loading systems available, directly interfaced with the lathe for continuous, unattended production. The complete system is ready for immediate productive use upon installation.
