HURCO HTX500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2006 Hurco HTX500 Horizontal Machining Center offers a robust and precise machining solution with an X-axis travel of 28 inches, Y-axis travel of 24 inches, and Z-axis travel of 24 inches, providing ample workspace for diverse part sizes. It is driven by a 24 horsepower spindle motor delivering up to 10,000 RPM through a CAT 40 taper spindle, combining high power and speed for efficient metal cutting. The machine is equipped with a 60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) that allows tool-to-tool change times of approximately 2.5 seconds, increasing productivity and minimizing downtime. Tool capacity accommodates tools up to 3.2 inches in diameter and 13.8 inches in length with tool weights up to 22 lbs. The HTX500 features dual pallets sized 19.6 by 19.6 inches, each capable of supporting up to 1,100 lbs, facilitating continuous machining with quick 8-second pallet exchanges. Its B-axis rotary table provides full 360-degree rotation, with positioning accuracy of 8 arc-seconds and clamping force up to 10,000 lbs, enabling complex contouring and multi-axis operations. The machine utilizes the Hurco Ultimax CNC control system, known for user-friendly programming and advanced machining capabilities. Rapid traverse rates are up to 1,260 inches per minute across all axes, and cutting feed rates can reach 600 inches per minute, ensuring efficient cutting cycles. Overall, the HTX500 is a four-axis horizontal machining center combining power, precision, and automation for high-volume, versatile manufacturing environments. Its machine footprint dimensions are approximately 163.8" x 215.8" x 122.1" with a total weight of about 28,650 lbs, reflecting its industrial-grade construction.
