HORKOS RM70H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Horkos RM70H is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision mold and part production. Featuring a 26" × 16" work table with optional index and rotary table support, this machine delivers efficient multi-axis machining capabilities. The horizontal spindle utilizes an HSK-A63 taper with a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM and 20 HP (30-minute rating), providing robust cutting power for demanding applications. The integrated automatic tool changer accommodates 16 tools standard, expandable to 40 tools, with exceptionally fast tool change times of 1.9 seconds and 4.1-second chip-to-chip intervals, minimizing non-cutting time and maximizing productivity. The three-axis configuration (X, Y, Z) offers substantial travels of 20.9", 22", and 20.9" respectively, with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,360 IPM across all axes, enabling quick positioning between operations. An optional fourth axis expands capabilities for complex geometries. The machine's compact footprint combined with rapid feeds and speeds makes it ideal for job shop environments requiring flexibility and throughput. The horizontal spindle orientation provides superior chip evacuation and coolant delivery compared to vertical machines, improving surface finishes and tool life. Its balanced performance specifications—moderate spindle speed with adequate horsepower, fast tool changes, and generous travels—position the RM70H as a versatile solution for precision manufacturing.
