KENT MH-500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The KENT MH-500 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust 3-axis CNC setup with X, Y, and Z travels of 25.6 inches each, enabling versatile machining within a cubic work envelope. It is equipped with a CAT50 Big+ tool taper capable of high-torque operation and supports a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM, facilitating precision machining with substantial cutting power. The machine includes a 60-tool automatic tool changer, allowing for extended unmanned operation and rapid tool switching. The work table measures 19.6 by 19.6 inches, supporting heavy and sizable workpieces with a rigid structure. The CNC control system is the FANUC Oi-MD, a robust controller known for reliability and precision in industrial machining environments. This configuration enables effective horizontal machining with high accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency, suitable for complex component production requiring consistent surface finishes and dimensional integrity. The MH-500’s design optimizes chip removal and tool access, reducing cycle times and maximizing throughput, making it a competitive solution for job shops and in-house production facilities requiring a versatile horizontal machining center with a large tool capacity and precise 3-axis motion control. The machine’s dimensions and weight contribute to stability and vibration resistance during high-speed cutting operations. Overall, the KENT MH-500 combines industrial-grade mechanical design with advanced control technology to deliver high-performance CNC horizontal machining for a variety of manufacturing applications.
