HORKOS RS50H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Horkos RS50H Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, rigid machine designed for demanding production environments. Featuring a robust horizontal spindle with a #30 taper and a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM, it delivers 10 HP (30-minute rating) for efficient metal removal and precision machining. The machine’s 3-axis configuration provides X, Y, and Z travels of 16.1", 11.8", and 13.7" respectively, with rapid traverse rates up to 1,968 ipm on all axes, ensuring fast cycle times and high productivity. The table measures 26" x 16" and supports workpieces up to 1,100 lbs, with optional index and rotary table support for increased versatility. Tool management is handled by a 16-pocket automatic tool changer (expandable to 24 tools), enabling a rapid tool-to-tool change time of 1.1 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 3.2 seconds for minimal downtime. The RS50H is built for high rigidity and accuracy, with a compact footprint and optimized force transmission between tool and workpiece. Its design supports integration into automated cells and flexible manufacturing setups, making it ideal for complex, high-volume machining tasks.
