ALFING AL 402 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Alfing AL 402 is a four-axis horizontal machining center engineered for high-speed machining of light metal parts. This dual-spindle machine features a compact design with a work envelope optimized for efficient production workflows. The machine is equipped with dual spindles positioned 400 mm apart, enabling simultaneous machining operations that significantly reduce cycle times. The horizontal spindle orientation with HSK-A 63 taper delivers 16,000 RPM maximum speed and 44 horsepower, providing robust cutting performance across various aluminum and light alloy applications. Travel capabilities span 17.7 inches on the X-axis, 15.7 inches on the Y-axis, and 15.7 inches on the Z-axis, with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,751 ipm across all axes for swift positioning. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 220 pounds on its 31.4-inch by 16-inch table. An automatic tool changer with capacity for up to 120 tools enables chip-to-chip times of 3.2 seconds, maximizing productivity in high-volume production environments. The AL 402's modular construction allows customization to meet specific manufacturing requirements, making it ideal for precision component production where speed and accuracy are paramount. The machine bed utilizes HYDROPOL composite material—a specially formulated non-shrink concrete and steel composite—ensuring exceptional static and dynamic rigidity while minimizing vibration for consistent precision machining.
