HANDTMANN PBZ HD HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Handtmann PBZ HD is a five-axis horizontal machining center engineered for high-precision profile machining applications, particularly in aerospace and automotive sectors. This machine features a horizontal spindle configuration with HSK 63 A taper, operating at a maximum 30,000 RPM with 109 HP at 30-minute rating, delivering exceptional material removal rates up to 6.5 cubic inches per minute. The work table measures 31.5 inches in length by 22.64 inches in width, accommodating workpieces up to 6,000 mm in profile length with interference-free contouring capabilities. The machine is equipped with an automatic tool changer featuring 36 tool positions, enabling rapid tool changes during complex machining sequences. Travel capabilities include rapid traverse rates reaching 2,756 IPM across all axes, with Y-axis travel of 59.06 inches and Z-axis travel of 39.37 inches, allowing high-speed aluminum, steel, and composite machining. Designed for simultaneous five-axis machining, this center excels at producing intricate components such as fuselage frames, cockpit frames, center wing boxes, and structural beams with superior precision and efficiency. The machine integrates Siemens 840D SL CNC control and features integrated chip management across its entire length for high-volume chip removal. Its robust construction minimizes vibrations, maintaining accuracy during extended production runs while maximizing productivity through rapid feeds and optimized cutting parameters characteristic of horizontal machining center design.
