Horkos HFN-50V VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a vertical spindle with a BT50 taper operating at a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM, powered by a 10 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. The machine includes an 8-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with an option to expand to 22 tools, enabling efficient tool changes in 5.7 seconds and tool change chip time of 7.9 seconds. The worktable measures 32" x 20", capable of supporting up to 1,100 lbs of workpiece weight, with optional support for both indexing and rotary tables. It operates on a 3-axis system with optional 4-axis capability, providing travels of 19.7" along X and Z axes (upgradable to 39.37" on X) and 15.7" along the Y axis. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 197 inches per minute and rapid traverse rates up to 630 inches per minute. The vertical spindle orientation allows precision milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and other machining processes with high rigidity and stability. The BT50 spindle taper is widely recognized for its versatility in aerospace, automotive, and general industrial machining applications, balancing spindle speed and torque for medium-to-heavy cutting tasks. The machine’s robust tool capacity and moderate spindle speed suit diverse manufacturing scenarios requiring flexible tooling and moderate to heavy workpiece handling, making it a reliable choice for precision vertical CNC machining centers. Optional rotary or indexing tables enhance capability for complex multi-face machining operations.
