HMT STC-20 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The HMT STC-20 is a CNC slant bed turning center engineered for high-precision horizontal machining operations. This compact lathe features a maximum turning diameter of 7.870 inches and accommodates workpiece lengths up to 19.690 inches, with a chuck diameter of 8.000 inches and maximum bar passage capacity of 1.500 inches. The machine utilizes a single main spindle delivering 15 horsepower at speeds reaching 6,000 RPM, providing robust cutting capabilities across a wide range of materials and applications. The slant bed design inherently reduces non-cutting time while enhancing rigidity and accuracy during operations. The turret tool carrier accommodates up to 12 tools, enabling efficient tool changes and reducing setup time for complex machining sequences. Operating on a 2-axis configuration (X and Z), the machine offers 6.000 inches of X-axis travel and 18.000 inches of Z-axis travel, with rapid traverse rates of 590 inches per minute across all axes, ensuring quick positioning and reduced cycle times. The control system supports Siemens or Fanuc compatibility, providing flexibility in programming and operation. With its spindle power of 7.5-15 kW and speed range of 100-4,000 RPM (standard configuration), the STC-20 delivers consistent performance for precision turning, threading, and facing operations. This machine is ideal for job shops and production facilities requiring versatile, repeatable accuracy in small to medium-sized component manufacturing.
