MAZAK FF-5000/40 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAZAK FF-5000/40 is a high-performance horizontal machining center featuring X and Y-axis travels of 25.98 inches (660 mm) each, and a Z-axis travel of 21.65 inches (550 mm). It supports a pallet size of 19.69 inches by 19.69 inches (500 mm × 500 mm), suitable for medium-sized workpieces with a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 rpm. The machine is equipped with a BT40/CAT40 tool taper and a built-in motor spindle, enabling high-speed acceleration and deceleration with minimal power loss due to the absence of drive gears. Spindle acceleration from 0 to 12,000 rpm occurs in just 1.4 seconds, enhancing production efficiency. The FF-5000/40 employs a ram-type Z-axis capable of rapid feed rates up to 2441 inches per minute (62 m/min) with acceleration forces of 1.5G, optimizing performance for drilling, tapping, and high-precision machining operations. Its high-speed, high-acceleration capabilities reduce non-cutting time and improve machining throughput. The machine's centralized oil controllers, hydraulic pressure units, and air equipment facilitate easy maintenance and inspections. It is engineered to handle various materials including cast iron and aluminum, supporting larger workpieces up to 28.35 inches in diameter and 34.25 inches in length. The FF-5000/40 is commonly integrated with automation systems such as gantry loaders for high-volume production environments, making it suitable for automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing sectors demanding precision horizontal milling and efficient material handling.
