Baker & Provan completes CNC installation
admin Sydney-based engineering company Baker & Provan has completed installation of a large CNC machining centre.
Commissioned in August, the machine weighs 112 tonnes and was added to Baker & Provan’s existing 12-metre CNC floor borer, with a 6-axis rotary table. The company said this makes it one of the largest and modern CNC machine shops in Australia.

The new large CNC machining centre will improve the way medium- and large-sized components are machined for the rail, mining, defence and steel industries.
The new large CNC machining centre will improve the way medium- and large-sized components are machined for the rail, mining, defence and steel industries.
The machining centre has tables rated to 20 tonnes, commonly referred to as a pallet changer. While a work piece is being machined on one pallet, machinists can prepare the next pallet for rapid changeover and re-commencement of machining.
This machine will be able to machine medium and large work pieces with greater efficiency for multiple work pieces. The machine is able to work on five sides of a work piece with machining envelope up to 6.25 m x 3.5 m wide in a single setup.
This machine will also be able to provide significant efficiencies for medium-sized work pieces that have reasonable volume by jigging up multiple work pieces on each pallet, and then unloading and loading multiple work pieces on the second pallet.
The company said that the new machine will complement its range of 12 CNC machines and heavy fabrication capability at the 6,800 sq. metre facility.
