JUPITER HMC-380 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Jupiter HMC-380 is a compact 3-axis CNC horizontal machining center engineered for precision metal cutting operations. The machine features a robust horizontal spindle configuration that enables efficient side-access machining of workpieces up to 15" x 15" on its pallet system. With X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 19.6, 16.5, and 14.9 inches respectively, the HMC-380 accommodates mid-sized components and facilitates complex multi-surface machining within a single setup, minimizing repositioning time and improving accuracy. The spindle delivers 12,000 RPM maximum speed with 30 horsepower output, providing adequate cutting force for both ferrous and non-ferrous material processing. The integrated automatic tool changer (ATC) stores 24 tools, reducing idle time and enabling rapid tool changes to support diverse machining operations. CNC numerical control ensures repeatability and allows programming of complex cutting sequences for automated production runs, significantly improving productivity compared to manual milling operations. The horizontal spindle orientation and rotary pallet system enable efficient chip evacuation and allow seamless part transfers, making the HMC-380 suitable for small-to-medium batch production environments. This configuration is particularly advantageous for manufacturers requiring versatile machining capabilities with reliable dimensional accuracy and consistent surface finishes across multiple identical parts.
