Howa MZN-P500(HS)-VC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC vertical machining center features a **31.5" x 15.7" table** with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 900 lbs, optionally supporting rotary or index tables for enhanced versatility. Its **BT30 spindle** operates vertically with a standard top speed of 10,000 RPM, optionally upgradable to 15,000 RPM, powered by a 7 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. The spindle incorporates an **automatic tool changer (ATC)** standard with 16 tools, expandable up to 24 tools, facilitating rapid tool changes in 0.7 seconds (chip-to-chip time of 1.7 seconds). The machine supports 3 axes with optional 4-axis capability, providing travels of 19.7" (X), 12.6" (Y), and 12.9" (Z), all with a rapid traverse of 1,968 inches per minute (ipm) and maximum feed rates of 394 ipm. This configuration supports precise, high-speed machining of medium to large workpieces with efficiency and flexibility. The incorporation of BT30 taper tooling ensures compatibility with a wide range of tooling options, supporting both drilling and milling operations. The machine’s structure and specification make it suitable for industries requiring moderate to heavy-duty machining with rapid tool changes and precise axis control. Optional rotary and index tables further expand machining capabilities, adapting to complex geometries and production needs. This machinery balances power, speed, and tool capacity, optimized for increased productivity in varied machining applications.
