HURCO COMPANIES HBMX55I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco HBMX55I Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision and efficiency in demanding machining environments. Featuring a robust 44.1 x 49.2-inch table with a maximum workpiece capacity of 8,819 lbs, it supports heavy-duty workpieces for a wide range of industrial applications. The machine is equipped with a horizontal spindle utilizing a CAT/DIN 50 (BT) taper, capable of reaching up to 2,500 RPM and delivering 40.2 HP (30-minute rating) for powerful cutting performance. Its 4-axis configuration includes X, Y, Z, and B axes, with travel distances of 55.1", 54.7", 43.3", and 360° respectively, enabling versatile machining operations. The HBMX55I features a 60-station automatic tool changer (expandable to 90 tools), ensuring rapid tool changes and reduced downtime. Standard equipment includes a contouring 4th axis rotary table for complex part geometries, linear glass scales for thermal stability and accuracy, and hardened box ways for durability and rigidity. The machine’s design emphasizes a compact footprint while maximizing the work envelope, making it suitable for shops with space constraints. With rapid traverse rates of up to 393 ipm on linear axes, the HBMX55I delivers fast, efficient production cycles. Engineered for reliability and productivity, this machining center is ideal for manufacturers seeking high precision, flexibility, and advanced automation in horizontal milling and boring operations.
