Howa MSN-320H-VC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical CNC machining center features a robust table measuring 24.800 inches in length by 9.840 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 882 lbs. An optional index or rotary table can be added for enhanced versatility. The machine is equipped with a high-speed BT30 taper spindle, delivering up to 15,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 5.0 HP, ensuring efficient and precise material removal. Tooling is managed by a 16-position automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 24 tools, with rapid tool change times of 0.8 seconds and chip-to-chip change in 2.0 seconds. The machine operates on three standard axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional fourth axis for advanced machining needs. Axis travels are 12.600 inches (X), 12.600 inches (Y), and 9.800 inches (Z), with an optional Z-axis extension to 12.900 inches. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds for all three axes are 394 inches per minute and 1,417 inches per minute, respectively, enabling fast and accurate positioning. The A and B axes offer full 360-degree rotation for complex part setups. This configuration provides high rigidity, precision, and flexibility for a wide range of milling applications, from prototyping to production.
