FEMCO HL-45 1000/1500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FEMCO HL-45 1000/1500 Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for precision turning with a maximum spindle turning diameter of 23.62 inches and a maximum turning length of 56.69 inches. It features a robust 12-inch spindle chuck and accommodates bar diameters up to 3.54 inches, providing a maximum swing of 25 inches. The machine is powered by a 29.5 HP spindle motor running at speeds up to 2,500 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal. The toolholding system consists of a turret capable of supporting up to 12 tools, including rotary tools powered at 7.5 HP with a spindle speed of 3,000 RPM. With three axes, the HL-45 offers X-axis travel of 11.22 inches (optional 13.19 inches) and a Z-axis travel of 39.37 inches (optional 59.06 inches), each with rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute, enabling high-speed, precise machining operations. Its modular design enables integration with bar feeders and parts catchers for workflow optimization. The machine is well-suited for demanding industrial applications such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery component manufacturing, where versatility, durability, and accuracy are critical. Its Meehanite cast base and saddle construction contribute to high rigidity and stability during operation, minimizing vibration. The HL-45 supports simultaneous single-tool cutting and offers optional turret configurations for tailored production needs. Overall, this horizontal machining center combines powerful spindle performance, extensive tool capacity, and flexible axis travel, delivering high productivity and precision in turning large and complex parts.
