MAZAK FH-680X HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAZAK FH-680X is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-volume production and complex multi-sided component manufacturing. This three-axis machine delivers robust performance with X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 41, 31.5, and 34.5 inches respectively, providing substantial working envelope for medium to large workpieces. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM with a CAT #50 taper, paired with a 40 HP AC motor that generates ample cutting torque for demanding operations. The 80-position automatic tool changer enables rapid tool transitions in 1.8 seconds (tool-to-tool), minimizing cycle times and maximizing productivity. Square pallets measuring 24.7 x 24.7 inches accommodate workpieces up to 3,300 pounds, with rapid pallet changeover in approximately 8 seconds, facilitating efficient lights-out machining operations. Equipped with the MAZATROL M-Plus CNC control featuring a 14-inch color display, the machine incorporates advanced features including automatic tool length measurement, tool breakage detection, synchronized tapping, and through-spindle coolant delivery at 300 PSI. The rigid structure, weighing approximately 48,290 pounds, ensures exceptional dimensional stability and repeatability. Additional capabilities include EIA/ISO programming compatibility, adaptive feedrate control, and tool life monitoring. This machine represents an ideal solution for job shops and manufacturers requiring versatile, reliable horizontal machining with excellent surface finish and tight tolerances across diverse workpiece geometries.
