FRYER MACHINE SYSTEMS HB-70 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Fryer Machine Systems HB-70 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, rugged CNC machine designed for precision heavy-duty machining. It features a robust 4-axis configuration with an optional 5th axis, providing X, Y, and Z travels of 72", 55", and 36" respectively, and rapid traverse rates of 750 ipm on all three axes for fast, efficient operation. The machine is equipped with a horizontal spindle using a CAT 50 taper (BT 50 optional), capable of reaching up to 3,000 RPM and delivering 40 HP for demanding cutting tasks. The worktable measures 32" x 32" and supports a maximum workpiece weight of 6,500 lbs, with a standard index table and optional rotary table for versatile part positioning. Tooling is managed by a 40-station automatic tool changer (expandable to 60 stations), ensuring rapid tool changes and high productivity. The HB-70 utilizes a box way construction for superior rigidity and accuracy, and its Siemens 828-HS CNC control system offers simple menu programming, multiple operation modes, and high-speed digital drives for reliable, repeatable performance. The machine is ideal for complex, multi-sided machining of large, heavy parts in low-volume and job shop environments, combining durability, flexibility, and advanced control for high-precision manufacturing.
