Howa MQN-320V VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Howa MQN-320V is a compact vertical machining center designed for high-precision small parts manufacturing. This 3-axis CNC machine features a #30 spindle taper with a maximum spindle speed of 20,000 RPM and 2 HP (30-minute rating), making it suitable for light-duty precision work. The work table measures 17.720" × 12.600" with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 353 lbs, enabling efficient machining of smaller components. The machine employs a double-arm swing-type automatic tool changer with a 20-tool capacity and an exceptionally fast 0.40-second tool change time, significantly enhancing productivity in high-volume applications. All three axes (X, Y, and Z) offer identical 9.840" travel distances with rapid traverse rates of 1,968 inches per minute, providing consistent performance across all axes. The machine's compact footprint and optional support for a 4-axis configuration and pallet changer make it adaptable to various production environments. Optional index and rotary table support further extends its machining capabilities. With its combination of high spindle speed, rapid tool changing, and precision positioning, the MQN-320V is ideal for automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturers requiring efficient small-part production.
