AVEREX HS-450I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The AVEREX HS-450I is a precision horizontal machining center designed for high-speed production environments. This three-axis CNC system features expansive work envelopes with 25.2 inches of X-axis travel, 24 inches of Y-axis travel, and 26.8 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating workpieces up to 1,100 pounds. Powered by a robust 30 horsepower spindle operating at a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM, the machine delivers exceptional cutting performance and throughput. The system incorporates an 80-position automatic tool changer with CAT40 BIG PLUS DOUBLE CONTACT taper tooling, enabling rapid tool changes in approximately one second. The machine is controlled by a FANUC 31i-M CNC system, providing advanced programming capabilities and reliable operation. The HS-450I features a thermal control system that maintains optimal spindle and axis temperatures through temperature-controlled oil circulation, ensuring dimensional accuracy and extended tool life. Standard configuration includes a two-pallet automatic changer with 5-second pallet rotation and 550 kg payload capacity per pallet, with options to expand to six pallets and increase tool storage to 220 positions for enhanced production flexibility. The machine's robust cast iron construction weighs 25,700 pounds and measures 190 by 104 by 101 inches, providing stability and rigidity essential for precision machining operations.
