MAMMOTH PROKING BN-50 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mammoth Proking BN-50 is a CNC horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and chucking operations. This machine features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 33.460 inches and accommodates workpieces up to 472 inches in length. The 34-inch chuck diameter and 50.200-inch maximum swing provide substantial capacity for medium to large-scale components. The spindle delivers 35 horsepower at a standard 500 RPM, with an optional 400 RPM setting for enhanced torque on demanding cuts. The machine is equipped with a turret-style primary tool carrier supporting up to six turning tools, though only one cutting tool operates simultaneously. The two-axis CNC control system provides 33.460 inches of X-axis travel and up to 472 inches of optional Z-axis travel, enabling comprehensive longitudinal workpiece positioning. Both axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 236 inches per minute, facilitating efficient tool changes and positioning cycles. The X-axis maximum feed rate of 236 ipm ensures productive cutting speeds, while the Z-axis matches this capability for consistent machining performance. This configuration makes the BN-50 suitable for producing precision turned components, including shafts, bushings, and threaded parts in a production environment where reliability and throughput are critical requirements.
