Technical Description
The Amera Seiki AH-500 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision and efficiency in demanding manufacturing environments. Featuring a robust horizontal spindle with a BBT50 taper, the AH-500 delivers a top spindle speed of 10,000 RPM (with an optional 6,000 RPM configuration) and a 35 HP (30-minute rating) motor for powerful cutting performance. The machine supports a maximum workpiece weight of 1,320 lbs and utilizes a 19.680" x 19.680" table, with a standard rotary table for enhanced versatility. Equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC), the AH-500 can accommodate up to 60 tools (expandable to 240), ensuring rapid and efficient tool changes. The system offers four axes of motion (X, Y, Z, B), with X, Y, and Z travels of 27.55", 25.59", and 25.59" respectively, and a full 360° B-axis rotation. Maximum feed rates reach 393 ipm, while rapid traverse speeds hit 2,360 ipm across all linear axes, enabling swift and accurate machining cycles. Optional pallet changers with up to two pallets further enhance productivity for high-volume operations. The AH-500 is engineered for industries requiring high accuracy and reliability, such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery, and is built to handle a wide range of materials including aluminum, steel, and composites.
