DEFUM WHC 160N HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Defum WHC 160N Horizontal Machining Center is a high-capacity CNC machine designed for precision machining of large workpieces. It features a substantial work table measuring 57.090" by 39.370", with an optional extended size up to 70.870" by 49.210", supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 13,200 lbs. The machine is equipped with a horizontal spindle with a #50 taper, optionally upgradable to #65, capable of reaching top speeds of 1,000 RPM and delivering 67 horsepower (30-minute rating). Tool changes are handled by an automatic tool carrier (ATC) system with zero tool change chip time, optimizing efficiency. It operates across up to six controlled axes, with an optional seventh axis for enhanced flexibility. The primary axis travels include X1 up to 157.480" (optionally 511.810"), Y1 up to 118.110" (optionally 137.800"), and Z1 at 29.530", all with maximum feed rates of 79 inches per minute and rapid traverses at 197 inches per minute. Rotational axes A1 and B1 provide full 360-degree rotary movement, enabling complex multi-axis machining operations. This combination of large work envelope, powerful spindle, precise multi-axis control, and robust tooling systems make the Defum WHC 160N suited for heavy-duty, high-precision manufacturing tasks in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
