IKEGAI TH500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The IKEGAI TH500 is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for versatile metalworking applications requiring compact footprint and efficient production cycles. This CNC-controlled system features a robust work envelope with 24.803-inch X-axis, 23.622-inch Y-axis, and 27.559-inch Z-axis travel, accommodating medium-sized workpieces and complex geometries. The machine operates at a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM with 14.8 horsepower output, providing adequate cutting force for both finishing and semi-roughing operations across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 39-tool automatic changer enables rapid tool selection and minimizes changeover time, enhancing productivity during multi-operation sequences. The pallet system measures 19.685 inches on both width and length dimensions, supporting workpiece configurations up to the travel limits while maintaining accessibility for part loading and unloading. The fully CNC-controlled platform delivers repeatable positioning accuracy and consistent surface finishes through programmable feeds and speeds. Its horizontal spindle orientation facilitates efficient chip evacuation and coolant flow, extending tool life and reducing machine downtime. The TH500 is well-suited for job shops and small-to-medium manufacturing facilities requiring dependable performance, compact installation space, and economic operation without compromising precision or capability.
