Hitachi Seiki HS630 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 Hitachi Seiki HS630 is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-performance production environments. Equipped with a FANUC 10M CNC control system, this machine delivers advanced programming capabilities including 100 Macro B variables for sophisticated custom routines and 99 tool length offsets for enhanced versatility and precision. The system features 1-degree pallet indexing, enabling efficient multi-sided machining operations with two 24.8" x 24.8" pallets that support up to 2,640 lbs of load capacity. The machine's axis travels span 32" (X-axis), 31.5" (Y-axis), and 31.5" (Z-axis), accommodating a wide range of workpiece sizes and geometries. The 40-position automatic tool changer provides rapid tool selection, while the spindle operates at 10,000 RPM with a CAT #50 nose, delivering 40 HP continuous power. Cutting feedrates reach 787 IPM with rapid traverse capabilities of 1,771 IPM, enabling efficient cycle times. Advanced features include coordinate system rotation and helical interpolation for complex contouring operations. Rigid tapping capability eliminates the need for external tapping attachments, improving accuracy and reducing setup time. The machine includes coolant-through-spindle delivery and chip conveyor systems for enhanced efficiency and maintenance. With a Renishaw probe and tool length and broken tool detection systems, this HS630 ensures consistent quality and minimizes downtime, making it ideal for automotive, aerospace, and general precision machining applications demanding reliability and repeatability.
