FORTUNE 1550ENC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The FORTUNE 1550ENC is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for precision turning and milling operations. This two-axis system features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter capacity of 8.600 inches and an extended turning length of 50 inches, accommodating moderately sized workpieces. The spindle operates at 3,500 RPM with 7.50 HP output, delivering consistent power for heavy-duty cutting tasks. The 8.000-inch chuck diameter provides secure workpiece holding, while the 15.400-inch maximum swing clearance allows for efficient chip evacuation and tool access. The machine utilizes a turret-style tool carrier with a 12-tool capacity, enabling single-tool simultaneous cutting operations that enhance workflow efficiency. The dual-axis configuration includes 9 inches of X-axis travel and an extended 50 inches of Z-axis travel, optimizing longitudinal machining capabilities. Both axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 380 IPM with matching maximum feed rates of 380 IPM, ensuring balanced productivity and precise dimensional control. This configuration makes the FORTUNE 1550ENC suitable for production runs of cylindrical components requiring multiple turning and facing operations without repositioning. The compact footprint combined with robust spindle power positions this machine as an efficient solution for small-to-medium job shops requiring reliable horizontal machining capabilities.
