BURKHARDT+WEBER MCX 1100 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Burkhardt+Weber MCX 1100 is a robust horizontal machining center designed for heavy, large-scale workpieces, featuring a **31.5" x 31.5" standard support index table** capable of handling up to **11,000 lbs**. The machine supports optional rotary tables and pallet changers, with up to 8 pallets available for efficient workflow management. Its horizontal spindle utilizes an **HSK-A 100 taper**, delivering a top spindle speed of **4,000 RPM**, optionally expandable to **6,000 RPM**, powered by a robust 49.3 HP motor with an optional upgrade to 80 HP, ensuring high-performance machining for demanding applications. Equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) capable of holding **120 tools as standard, expandable up to 570 tools**, the MCX 1100 offers a tool change chip time of 12 seconds, facilitating high productivity. The machine operates on **3 axes (X, Y, Z)** with an optional fourth axis, with travels of approximately 63" in X and Z axes and 55" in Y, with optional Z travel up to around 70". Rapid traverse rates reach up to 2,358 inches per minute in all axes, supporting fast positioning and cycle times. A full 360° B-axis rotation provides extensive flexibility for complex workpiece geometries. This horizontal machining center balances large workpiece capacity, high horsepower, and flexible tooling, making it suitable for heavy-duty manufacturing environments requiring precision and versatility in horizontal milling operations.
