ENSHU GE580H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Enshu GE580H Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 4-axis HMC designed for high-precision and efficient machining of medium to large workpieces. It features a **19.7" x 19.7" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **1,540 lbs**, enabling substantial part handling. The machine employs a powerful **#50 taper horizontal spindle** with a standard top speed of **10,000 RPM**, upgradeable to **13,000 RPM**, driven by a **60 HP (30-minute rating) motor**, balancing speed and torque for versatile cutting applications. The GE580H includes a **60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC)** capacity, expandable to 120 tools, supporting a wide range of tooling for complex, multi-operation machining. A **standard 2-pallet changer** enhances productivity by enabling continuous machining while loading/unloading occurs simultaneously. Axis travel measures **31.5 inches** on X, Y, and Z, each capable of rapid traverse rates up to **1,890 inches per minute**, allowing fast repositioning and efficient cycle times. The machine lacks a U-axis, focusing on straightforward 4-axis operations optimized for high-rigidity horizontal machining tasks. This combination of features positions the Enshu GE580H as a versatile, heavy-duty horizontal machining center suitable for precision components in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing industries.
