BURKHARDT+WEBER MCR 1200 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Burkhardt+Weber MCR 1200 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for large and complex workpieces, supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 15,400 lbs. It features a substantial table measuring 39.37" by 49.21" (length by width), accommodating expansive setups. The machine operates on three axes with travel ranges of up to 94.49" (X), 70.87" (Y), and 70.87" (Z), with optional extended travels reaching 110.24", 86.61", and 82.68" respectively, all capable of rapid traverses at 787 inches per minute for high throughput. Its spindle is a horizontal HSK-A 100 taper type, delivering a standard top speed of 5,500 RPM, with an optional upgrade up to 10,000 RPM, rated at 49.3 HP (30-minute rating) to provide robust power for demanding cutting operations. Tool handling is managed via an automatic tool changer (ATC) supporting 120 tools as standard, with an optional increase to 570 tools, and a chip-to-chip tool change time of 17 seconds, facilitating minimal downtime. The machine accommodates an optional pallet changer with two pallets standard, expandable up to eight for enhanced productivity. The MCR 1200’s axes and spindle capabilities provide precise, high-rigidity machining ideal for large metal component manufacturing. Its design emphasizes heavy part capacity, extensive tool storage, and flexible pallet options, making it well suited for industries requiring high-volume, heavy-duty processing of large workpieces with horizontal machining.
