HURCO COMPANIES HM1700I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco HM1700i Horizontal Machining Center is a high-capacity CNC milling machine engineered for efficient, precise production of complex parts. It features a large table measuring 67" x 36" capable of supporting workpieces up to 6,614 lbs, optimized for heavy-duty machining. The machine operates on three axes with travel ranges of 67" (X), 51" (Y), and 35" (Z), each capable of rapid traverse and feed rates up to 787 inches per minute for high productivity. The horizontal spindle utilizes a CAT 50 taper and runs at speeds up to 8,000 RPM, powered by a 35.4 HP (30-minute rating) motor designed for both high and low-end torque applications. A 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) allows for flexible, multi-tool operations, while a standard rotary table enhances workpiece positioning without a pallet changer option. The machine's design incorporates pre-tensioned ballscrews and a robust frame construction to maximize rigidity and accuracy during high-speed machining. Large front and side access doors improve operator convenience and setup efficiency. This machine combines a large work envelope, powerful spindle, and advanced mechanical design to address demanding production needs in horizontal milling applications, making it suitable for industries requiring precision and heavy workpiece capacity.
