DAEWOO DMH-500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 Daewoo DMH-500 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust, high-performance CNC machine designed for precision manufacturing applications. It features a powerful 25 HP spindle motor with a CAT 50 taper, delivering speeds up to 12,000 RPM, suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine supports two 19.7" x 19.7" pallets, each capable of handling loads up to 1,100 lbs, with 1-degree pallet indexing enabling precise part positioning. Its axis travels include 27.6" on the X-axis, and 25.6" on both Y- and Z-axes, allowing versatile machining capacity within a large work envelope. Rapid traverse rates of 1,417 IPM across all axes facilitate efficient toolpath movement and cycle times. Equipped with a 60-tool magazine, the DMH-500 accommodates tools up to 4.3" in diameter, 17.7" in length, and up to 26.5 lbs in weight, enabling flexible tooling options with quick tool changes completed in 1.3 seconds (tool-to-tool) and 4.5 seconds (chip-to-chip). Control is managed through the Fanuc 18iM CNC system, offering advanced programmability and operational reliability. Additional features include coolant-through-spindle capability to improve cutting performance, a chip conveyor for effective chip removal, and a full 4th axis for enhanced machining complexity. The machine measures 181" x 106" x 106" and weighs approximately 26,500 lbs, built with Meehanite cast iron construction for rigidity and vibration dampening to ensure accuracy under demanding conditions. This horizontal machining center is ideal for high-precision, high-volume production environments across automotive, aerospace, and heavy industrial sectors.
