BURKHARDT+WEBER MCX 750 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Burkhardt+Weber MCX 750 is a high-performance horizontal machining center engineered for precision and heavy-duty work. It features a substantial 24.8" x 24.8" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, providing robust workpiece handling capacity. The machine operates with a horizontal spindle equipped with an HSK-A 100 taper, delivering a top speed of 5,500 RPM, optionally configurable to 10,000 RPM, powered by a 49.3 HP (30-minute rating) motor for versatile machining tasks. The tool system includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with 120 standard tool pockets, expandable up to 570, enabling efficient tool management and reduced downtime. The machining center supports a chip-to-chip tool change time of 10 seconds, optimizing cycle times. Pallet changer options include configurations from 2 to 8 pallets, facilitating continuous production and flexible workpiece handling. Axes travel distances include 43.31" in the X direction, 35.43" in Y (optionally 43.31"), and 49.21" in Z, all moving at rapid traverse speeds up to 2,358 inches per minute, ensuring high-speed machining and positioning. The machine supports three-axis control with optional fourth-axis capability, and a full 360° B-axis rotation for advanced machining geometries. Constructed with premium linear guideways, preloaded ball screws, and a rigid gantry design, the MCX 750 maintains exceptional thermal stability and long-term accuracy for demanding industrial applications. Optional rotary tables and pallet changers increase its versatility for complex, high-volume manufacturing environments.
