LK MACHINERY HT-500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The LK Machinery HT-500 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. It features a robust 20.000" x 20.000" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,653 lbs, ensuring stability for a wide range of machining tasks. The horizontal spindle utilizes a CAT 40 taper, delivering reliable tool holding and compatibility with industry-standard tooling. With a maximum spindle speed of 10,000 RPM (optional 12,000 RPM) and a 20 HP (30-minute rating) motor (optional 25 HP), the HT-500 provides ample power for high-speed and heavy-duty cutting operations. The machine is equipped with a 60-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), expandable to 90 tools, and achieves rapid tool changes in just 5 seconds (chip-to-chip in 7.5 seconds), minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. A standard 2-pallet changer further enhances throughput by allowing continuous operation. The HT-500 offers 3-axis control (optional 4-axis), with X, Y, and Z travels of 24.000", 24.000", and 22.000" respectively, and supports maximum feed rates of 400 ipm and rapid traverse speeds of 1,890 ipm on all axes, enabling fast and accurate positioning. This combination of high rigidity, advanced automation, and versatile tooling makes the HT-500 ideal for complex, high-volume machining applications across various industries.
