Howa MSN-P320-VCJ VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical CNC machining center features a robust table measuring 19.6 inches long by 11.4 inches wide, capable of supporting workpieces up to 265 lbs. An optional index table is available for enhanced versatility. The machine is equipped with a vertical BT30 spindle, delivering a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 5 HP, with an optional upgrade to 7 HP for demanding applications. Tooling is managed by a 16-position automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 24 tools, ensuring rapid and efficient tool changes with a chip-to-chip time of 2.3 seconds and a tool change time of 0.8 seconds. A standard 2-pallet changer further increases productivity. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of 12.6 inches (X), 8.7 inches (Y), and 12.9 inches (Z). Maximum feed rates reach 394 inches per minute, while rapid traverse speeds are 1,417 inches per minute on all axes, enabling fast and precise machining. This configuration is ideal for high-accuracy milling, drilling, and tapping operations across a range of materials, supporting both production and prototyping needs in demanding industrial environments.
