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

This CNC vertical machining center features a **BT30 vertical spindle** with a top speed of 10,000 RPM (optional 15,000 RPM) driven by a 7.0 HP motor (30-minute rating), suitable for high-speed machining applications. The spindle is equipped with a 16-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), with an option to upgrade to 24 tools, enabling rapid 0.70-second tool changes and efficient chip-to-chip times of 1.70 seconds. The machine supports a **table size of 25.5" x 14.1"** and a maximum workpiece weight of up to 265 lbs, offering robust handling of medium-sized parts. It provides **3 axes of movement** (X: 19.7", Y: 12.6", Z: 12.9") with maximum feed rates of 394 inches/min and rapid traverse speeds up to 1968 inches/min, ensuring fast and precise positioning. The machine includes a standard pallet changer with two pallets for optimized productivity in batch processing. Optional support tables and rotary tables are available to extend the machining capabilities. Designed for precision milling, drilling, and tapping, the BT30 taper spindle system balances power and speed, ideal for small to medium component manufacturing. The combination of high spindle speed, fast ATC, and rigid table capacity enables complex machining tasks with enhanced throughput and accuracy. This vertical machining center is suitable for diverse industries including aerospace, automotive, mold making, and general manufacturing where compact size and flexible tooling are essential.
