BURKHARDT+WEBER MCX 1600 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Burkhardt+Weber MCX 1600 is a horizontal machining center featuring a large, square work table measuring 78.8" by 78.8", capable of supporting up to 44,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining. The standard support index table setup can be optionally upgraded with a rotary table. It is equipped with a horizontal spindle utilizing an HSK-A 100 taper, providing a top rotational speed of 4,000 RPM, optionally increased to 6,000 RPM. The spindle motor delivers 49.3 HP (30-minute rating), with an 80 HP motor available as an option for higher power requirements. The machine includes a robust automatic tool changer (ATC) system, standard with 120 tools and expandable up to 570 tools, with a chip-to-chip tool change time of 15 seconds. Optional pallet changer capability supports two pallets standard, expandable up to eight, to enhance flexibility and production flow. The machine operates on three axes with an optional fourth axis. Standard travel distances are 137.8" in X (extendable to 161.4"), 86.61" in Y (up to 98.43"), and 82.68" in Z (up to 98.43"), all with a rapid traverse rate of 1,179 inches per minute. The B-axis provides a full 360° rotation. This configuration enables machining of large, heavy, and complex parts with high precision and efficiency, suited for large-scale industrial applications requiring heavy work support, versatile tooling capacity, and powerful spindle capabilities.
