MACHINING SYSTEMS HMC-60 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MACHINING SYSTEMS HMC-60 is a robust horizontal machining center featuring a 60-inch X-axis travel, 40-inch Y-axis travel, and 28-inch Z-axis travel, designed for heavy-duty machining tasks. It is powered by a 30-horsepower spindle motor capable of speeds up to 3,000 RPM, equipped with a CAT 50 spindle taper to accommodate a wide range of tooling. The system supports a 48-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) for efficient machining operations and offers an optional increase to 76 tools. The working pallet measures 28 by 28 inches, with a standard pallet changer capable of handling two pallets, and options to expand pallet capacity. This CNC-controlled machine uses a Fanuc I Series control system and operates on four axes, including a rotary indexing 4th axis for precise multi-faced machining. Its design incorporates features for rigidity, stability, and accuracy, suitable for complex parts with high production demands. Rapid traverse rates enable swift tool positioning to minimize cycle times. Constructed in the USA, the HMC-60 provides a dependable platform for medium to large workpieces, supporting maximum workpiece weights up to 4,000 lbs. The machine is engineered for versatility and efficiency in horizontal milling, drilling, and tapping operations, making it ideal for automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing sectors requiring precision and productivity. Additional enhancements include steel way covers, strong column construction, and easy maintenance access, confirming its suitability for heavy-duty industrial environments.
