ALFING AL 303 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Alfing AL 303 is a horizontal machining center engineered for high-speed precision machining of light metal parts. This four-axis CNC machine features a compact work table measuring 35.430" L x 16.000" W with a maximum workpiece capacity of 220 lbs. The machine utilizes a horizontal spindle configuration with HSK-A 63 taper, capable of reaching 16,000 RPM and delivering 44 horsepower at 30-minute rating. The AL 303 incorporates an automatic tool changer (ATC) with standard capacity for 80 tools, expandable to 120 tools, achieving an efficient 3.2-second chip-to-chip tool change time. Travel capabilities include 17.700" on the Y-axis and 15.700" on the Z-axis, with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,554 ipm across all axes, enabling high accelerations critical for production efficiency. The machine bed construction utilizes HYDROPOL, a composite material combining special non-shrink concrete and steel, providing exceptional static and dynamic rigidity to maintain precision during machining operations. The modular design accommodates customized configurations, with optional NC rotary tables and swivel fixtures available for specialized applications. Manual or automatic loading options support flexible production workflows. This machining center combines speed and precision through its optimized spindle arrangement and rigid construction, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing requiring consistent accuracy in aluminum and light alloy component production.
