FUJI ANW-4100(S) HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Fuji ANW-4100(S) is a sophisticated dual-spindle CNC turning center engineered for high-productivity unmanned machining operations. This horizontal lathe features twin opposed spindles, each rated at 3,000 RPM and 30 HP, mounted on a rigid column structure that enables simultaneous front and back workpiece machining. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 12 inches in diameter with a maximum turning length of 10 inches, supported by a 10-inch chuck and 22.83-inch swing capacity. Equipped with dual 12-position turrets, the ANW-4100(S) manages up to 24 total tools with two simultaneous cutting operations, significantly enhancing machining efficiency through uninterrupted and finish cuts performed concurrently. The four-axis control system delivers rapid X and Z-axis traverse rates of 787 inches per minute, with X-axis travel of 10.43 inches and Z-axis travel of 17.91 inches, ensuring responsive tool positioning and part changes. Featuring a Fanuc 18Oi-TB CNC control system, the machine integrates a standard swing-arm robot for autonomous load/unload cycles, reducing operator intervention and cycle times. The hardened and ground box-way construction with vertical bed orientation promotes optimal chip evacuation and thermal stability. This configuration excels in automotive and aerospace applications requiring complex multi-operation components, enabling manufacturers to consolidate multiple setups into single-cycle production with minimal manual intervention.
