KENT MH-800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KENT MH-800 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 3-axis CNC machine designed for precision and efficiency in horizontal milling operations. It features travel capacities of 39.4 inches along the X-axis, 25.6 inches along the Y-axis, and 29.5 inches on the Z-axis, allowing versatile and detailed machining of medium-sized workpieces. The machine incorporates a 31.5-inch by 31.5-inch pallet table, capable of supporting heavy loads of up to approximately 2,645 lbs (1,200 kg), facilitating the handling of substantial components. The spindle, equipped with a BT-50 taper, achieves a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, powered by an AC 5 hp motor, ensuring effective cutting performance and material removal rates. The control system utilizes FANUC Oi-MD CNC technology, which provides precise motion control, high repeatability, and advanced programming features for complex machining tasks. The MH-800 supports a tool magazine capacity of up to 60 tools with a bi-directional shortest test path tool selection system, enhancing automation and reducing tool change times to approximately 2.9 seconds. The machine’s construction includes traveling column design with roller-type linear ways on the X and Y axes, contributing to rigid structural integrity and smooth axis movements, essential for high-precision operations. Additional features include automatic lubrication systems, coolant systems for spindle and cutting fluids, and a fully enclosed splash guard for operational safety. Overall, the MH-800 is designed for demanding job shops and production environments requiring reliability, high precision, and efficient machining throughput.
