DENFORD MIRAC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Denford Mirac Horizontal Machining Center is a compact, high-precision CNC lathe designed for versatile turning applications in educational and industrial environments. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 6.250" and a maximum turning length of 7.000", supporting a 4.000" chuck diameter and a 10.000" max swing. The spindle delivers 1.0 HP at up to 3,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal rates for a range of metals. The machine is equipped with a 6-station turret as the primary tool carrier, allowing for rapid tool changes and automated operations, with one tool capable of simultaneous cutting. It operates on two axes (X and Z), with X-axis travel of 3.380" and Z-axis travel of 8.000". Both axes offer a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 47 inches per minute, providing smooth and accurate movement for precise machining. The Mirac integrates advanced CNC controls, supporting metric and imperial programming, canned cycles, tool nose radius compensation, and both linear and circular interpolation. Additional features include tool offsets for up to 16 tools, dry run capability, and on-screen toolpath graphics. The machine is designed for single-phase electrical operation, includes internal and external jaws for the 3-jaw chuck, and offers safety interlocks and internal lighting. Its compact footprint, robust construction, and flexible workholding options make it ideal for small-part production, prototyping, and training applications.
