MACHINING SYSTEMS HMC-80 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MACHINING SYSTEMS HMC-80 Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for high-precision and heavy-duty machining with robust specifications. It features a substantial X-axis travel of 60 inches, Y-axis travel of 40 inches, and Z-axis travel of 36 inches, enabling machining of large workpieces. The machine is powered by a 30 horsepower spindle motor with a #50 taper spindle, delivering up to 3,000 RPM for versatile milling and drilling operations. The 36-inch by 36-inch pallet supports a maximum indexable load of 4,000 lbs, allowing for heavy part handling. This HMC includes a 48-station Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), enhancing productivity through rapid tool switching and reducing downtime. The machine incorporates a built-in 360° rotary indexing table for multi-axis machining capabilities, coupled with box ways construction and steel way covers for enhanced rigidity and protection. Controlled by a CNC FANUC I SERIES system, the center ensures precise and repeatable machining performance, supporting complex part programming and automation. With a recommended rapid traverse rate of 480 inches per minute, the HMC-80 is optimized for efficient material removal while maintaining accuracy. Weighing approximately 29,500 lbs, its robust frame design provides stability during high-speed operations. This configuration suits manufacturers requiring large travel capacity, high power, and flexible tool management in horizontal machining center applications.
