AKARI HS-450I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The AKARI HS-450i is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in advanced manufacturing applications. It features a robust #40 Big Plus taper spindle operating at up to 15,000 RPM with a 30 HP rating (30-minute duty), delivering strong, reliable cutting power. The machine is equipped with a 4-axis system encompassing X (25.2"), Y (24.0"), Z (26.8") travels and a full 360° B-axis rotary table, enabling versatile multi-axis machining. The standard work table measures 15.7" x 15.7", with an optional increase to 19.7" x 19.7". It supports a maximum workpiece weight of 1,100 lbs, suitable for a broad range of medium to large components. Tooling capabilities include an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a base capacity of 80 tools, expandable up to 220 tools, supporting rapid 1-second tool changes and a 3-second chip-to-chip time to maximize production speed. A standard pallet changer system supports two pallets with optional expansion up to six, allowing continuous operation and efficient workpiece swapping. The machine includes thermal control via a chilled spindle and axis bearing system to maintain precision under load. It is built on a heavy-duty, ribbed one-piece cast bed with THK roller guideways for rigidity and smooth motion at rapid traverse rates up to 787 IPM. The HS-450i offers flexibility, structural stability, and expandability ideal for high-volume, high-precision horizontal machining environments.
