Technical Description
The Fives Cincinnati MEGA 5 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-capacity, precision 5-axis machining solution designed for complex and heavy-duty part processing. It features a robust 31.5" x 31.5" worktable with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 4,840 lbs, supporting large and heavy components. Its spindle is horizontally oriented with an HSK63A taper, optionally upgradeable to HSK100A, delivering a top speed of 15,000 RPM (6,000 RPM optional) and a high power rating of 45 HP (60 HP optional) with a 30-minute rating, enabling efficient machining of hard metals. The machine includes a 45-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), extendable to 250 tools, with a rapid tool change time of 2.5 seconds to maximize productivity. A standard two-pallet changer supports continuous operation and can be expanded up to 10 pallets for increased automation and throughput.
The MEGA 5 offers extensive 5-axis capability through its 56.1", 53.15", and 49.8" travels on the X, Y, and Z linear axes respectively, with rapid traverse rates of up to 3,150 ipm and feed rates up to 2,362 ipm. Rotary axes include a 180° A-axis tilt and a 360° B-axis rotation, enabling full 5-sided simultaneous machining for complex geometries. It lacks a U-axis. This machine is suited for high-precision, high-throughput applications requiring complex contouring on large, heavy workpieces in aerospace, automotive, and heavy industrial sectors. Its advanced construction ensures dynamic stiffness, precision, and rapid cycle times for optimized metal cutting performance on materials such as steel, titanium, and alloys.
