Howa MZN-P320HS-VC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Howa MZN-P320HS-VC Vertical Machining Center is a high-precision CNC machine designed for compact, efficient machining of medium-sized workpieces up to 700 lbs. It features a 24.8" x 9.8" worktable and supports optional index and rotary tables for enhanced versatility. The spindle is vertical, equipped with a BT30 taper, delivering up to 20,000 RPM powered by a 5.0 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. Its 16-position automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 24 tools, enables rapid tool changes in 0.7 seconds, allowing for reduced cycle times and improved productivity. The machine operates on a 3-axis configuration (with a 4-axis option), offering travel ranges of 12.6" (X), 8.7" (Y), and 12.9" (Z). All axes support a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds of up to 1,968 ipm, ensuring swift and precise movement. The vertical spindle orientation and high-speed spindle capabilities enable versatile machining of various materials and complex geometries. The combination of Fanuc CNC control compatibility and high acceleration rates enhances operational efficiency and machining accuracy. This machining center is ideal for industries requiring fast, accurate milling of small to medium workpieces, such as aerospace, automotive, and precision manufacturing. Its robust spindle power, large tool magazine, and rapid axis movements strike a balance between high-speed performance and stable, precise machining. Optional rotary and indexing tables further expand its capabilities for multi-faced machining in a single setup.
