Howa MZN-P320HS-VCJ VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical CNC machining center features a robust table measuring 19.6 inches (L) by 11.4 inches (W), capable of supporting workpieces up to 176 lbs. An optional index or rotary table can be added for enhanced flexibility in complex machining operations. The machine is equipped with a high-speed vertical spindle utilizing a BT30 taper, delivering up to 20,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 5.0 HP, ensuring efficient and precise cutting performance. Tooling is managed via a 16-position automatic tool changer (ATC), with an option to expand to 24 tools, and rapid tool change times of 0.7 seconds (tool-to-tool) and 1.7 seconds (chip-to-chip). A standard 2-pallet changer further increases productivity by minimizing downtime. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with optional 4-axis capability, offering travel distances of 12.6 inches (X), 8.7 inches (Y), and 12.9 inches (Z). Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are both set at 394 inches per minute and 1,968 inches per minute, respectively, across all axes, enabling fast and accurate material removal. This configuration is ideal for high-precision milling, drilling, and tapping applications in demanding production environments.
