BURKHARDT+WEBER MCR 800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Burkhardt+Weber MCR 800 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. It features a robust 31.5" x 31.5" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 5,500 lbs, enabling machining of large and heavy components. The spindle is horizontally oriented with an HSK-A 100 taper, providing up to 5,500 RPM standard and an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM for high-speed machining. The spindle delivers 49.3 HP (30-minute rating), ensuring powerful cutting performance. The machine supports a 3-axis configuration with optional 4-axis capability, featuring extensive travel ranges of 49.210" (X), 35.430" (Y), and 49.210" (Z) axes, all capable of rapid traverse speeds up to 1,179 ipm for enhanced productivity. The tool system includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 120 tools and an optional expansion up to 570 tools, facilitating flexible and efficient tool management. Tool change chip time is approximately 13 seconds, minimizing downtime during operations. Pallet changing is available as an option, with a standard 2-pallet setup and expansion possibility up to 8 pallets, further improving throughput. The machine’s structural design emphasizes rigidity and precision, incorporating large sliding guideways and high-torque spindle units suitable for machining complex parts such as aerospace components, dies, and molds. This machining center is engineered for accuracy, durability, and high productivity in demanding manufacturing environments.
