MONO-BLOCK STEEL CONSTRUCTION
It starts with steel. The PALADIN is 24,000 lbs of American iron. It’s not just the weight, it's how it’s put together. It’s built like a tank.
FANUC MOTION CONTROLS
When it comes to motion controls, BBM uses state-of-the-art Japanese FANUC servo controllers and servo drives.
PRECISION BALL SCREWS
The advantage of precision ball screws becomes more apparent as the machine ages. Ball screws do a much better job maintaining accuracy and preventing gear lashing over time.
1.5” THICK ALUMINUM SLAB TABLE
Nope, it’s not plastic— and it’s not thin. It’s built to last the life of the machine, all while providing a solid, flat surface to support pods and parts. We precision mill the table surface to ensure a truly flat surface on your machine. That’s the correct way to do it.
A REALLY BIG WORKING TABLE
The PALADIN only comes in one size— 14’ wide by 8’ deep processing box. With an aluminum slab table that large, it’s often possible to fit an entire kitchen in one batch. A bigger bed makes a big difference.
MUCH BIGGER BEARINGS
Bigger equals better when it comes to bearings— and ours are HUGE! Larger bearings ensure smooth traversing, less toroidal and axial play, and much longer life. When you start looking at the details, you will come to understand that all machines are NOT created equal. Place a quarter next to the bearings and it becomes obvious.
ALPHACAM CAD/CAM SOFTWARE
AlphaCam has been the industry leader for drawing and programing with CNC machinery since the beginning. All PALADINs come standard with AlphaCam. Choice matters, if you want to run your new PALADIN on Taglio or DDX, let our team know and we will show you the process for optioning those software suites.
21.5” WIDE TOUCH SCREEN
We spent considerable time choosing our 21.5” wide touch screen, button layout and overall ergonomics of the control unit. When you spend time looking at screens, it’s important to choose something that the operator will enjoy using. The PALADIN presents information in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
A WORKSTATION THAT MAKES SENSE
The BBM HMI (Human Machine Interface) was developed by BBM engineers to make operating the machine an intuitive logical process. It provides the information you actually need in a fresh, modern and easy-to-understand layout.
EASY ACCESS TO THE SPINDLE
The PALADIN Z-axis tool plate cover is held securely in place by rubberized retention knobs. The weight of the cover is lifted with automotive supports protecting the counter-balance system, spindle and associated hardware.
RAPID CHANGE ROTARY UNION
The rotary union is a part that will need occasional replacing. On many machine designs, this task is a serious chore. Our engineers designed the PALADIN to ensure this task can be done in minutes, not hours. User maintenance should be easy and fast.
AUTOMATED LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The PALADIN comes standard with automated lubrication, sending consistent oil to the bearings and ways. In a dusty, gritty shop, this system protects your investment, and ensures long life and peak performance. User maintenance should be minimized, if possible. Because we know you hate doing it.
LESS BELLOWS— TOTAL COVERAGE
It might seem really strange to mention covering bearings and ways with bellows. It is an important detail that some manufactures simply don’t think matters. Protecting ways and bearings is critical in a dusty, gritty stone shop.
SIMPLE IS SMART
When you look at a BBM machine, it’s interesting what’s NOT there. We have reduced the amount of cable & tracks to a minimum. We use a tray on the back of the bridge to support a much more logical cable management strategy. This efficient layout dramatically reduces cat track and cable failure over the life of the machine.
LESS CORROSION— BETTER PAINT
Our process starts with a thorough decontamination routine. Quality prep work matters. The next critical step is an application of a two-coat zinc corrosion preventive paint, followed by a top-coat of “BBM White” automotive-grade paint with a high-gloss finish.
PROTECTED WHEN SHIPPING
After your machine is built, we take great care to properly protect your investment while it’s traveling down the highway from our factory to yours. Our shrink-wrap system provides the protection your new machine deserves.
SET-UP AND TRAINING BY PROS
When you purchase a PALADIN from BBM, the price includes set-up, calibration and training at your facility. It sounds crazy to say this, but the price also includes the airfare, lodging and meals for our factory trained technicians. Our techs have years of experience installing routers and training stone shops on programming your machine with AlphaCam.
SERVICE AFTER THE SALE
At BBM, service and support are the ultimate priority. We stock all parts for the PALADIN at our factory in KY. BBM is also a technical machine service company.
VACUUM SYSTEM AND POD PACKAGE
Your new PALADIN will come with a 5.5 HP advanced vacuum system with a coolant tank to create vacuum for locking down your pods and parts. In addition to the vac system, you will also receive 24 high performance BVC Pods and four BBM manifolds with your purchase.
44 TOOL POSITIONS
The PALADIN comes standard with 44 tool holders. More holders equals more profile sets on the machine, and less messing around swapping-out tooling. Your purchase includes 44 high-quality tool holders ready for your new tooling.
TWO-YEAR WARRANTY
We are so confident in the build quality of the PALADIN that we offer a 2-year or 2000-hour parts warranty. That warranty includes sending a technician to your shop, if needed, for the first year. Let that sink in. Peace of mind and service after the sale is what BBM is all about.
