AMS AMS PROTON HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The AMS PROTON is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for small to medium component manufacturing, featuring a rigid structure that delivers exceptional stability and cutting capability. The machine provides longitudinal (X-axis) travel of 19.685 inches, headstock (Y-axis) travel of 15.748 inches, and cross (Z-axis) travel of 15.748 inches, enabling versatile workpiece positioning and toolpath execution. Powered by a 10.1 horsepower spindle with a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM and BT-40 taper interface, the PROTON accommodates a diverse range of cutting tools for various machining operations. The machine is equipped with automatic tool changer (ATC) capacity of 16 to 30 tools, enabling rapid tool switching and reduced cycle times. Its rapid traverse rates reach 40/40/40 m/min across all axes, optimizing non-cutting movements and improving overall productivity. The pallet dimensions measure 13.78 inches wide by 15.748 inches long, providing adequate workspace for component fixturing and clamping. Control is managed through a Fanuc Oi Mate MD CNC system, delivering advanced programming capabilities and user-friendly operation. The machine's compact footprint, with overall width less than 2 meters, makes it ideal for space-constrained manufacturing environments. This combination of precision, rigidity, rapid traverse capability, and flexible tooling makes the PROTON suitable for diverse machining applications including drilling, boring, tapping, and milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
