Mazak FH6000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Mazak FH6000 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine equipped with the Mazatrol PC-Fusion 640M control system, offering advanced programmability and ease of operation. It features a robust horizontal machining design, optimized for efficient metal cutting and complex part processing. The machine supports a large tool capacity of 320 positions, enabling extensive tooling flexibility and reduced downtime. The pallet system includes 76 pallets with T-slots, each capable of handling loads up to approximately 2,200 lbs, with pallet dimensions around 19.7" x 19.7", facilitating rapid part changeover and increased production throughput. The machining envelope provides X, Y, and Z-axis travels near 31.5 inches, accommodating medium to large-sized components. The spindle is a powerful 40-horsepower unit with speeds up to 7,000 RPM, featuring a CAT #50 taper to ensure rigidity and stability during high-speed cutting operations. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of approximately 1,575 inches per minute and offers a tool clamping force of 4,630 ft./lbs to maintain precision under heavy cutting loads. The tool changer system is efficient with quick tool-to-tool times (around 1.8 seconds) and chip-to-chip times near 5 seconds, maximizing machining cycle efficiency. The FH6000 supports dual programming languages—Mazatrol and EIA/ISO—via a 10.4-inch color LCD interface, enhancing user accessibility. Additional features include coolant through the spindle and dual chip conveyors for effective chip management. This model occupies a floor space of approximately 146" by 250.5", making it suitable for a range of manufacturing environments requiring versatile, heavy-duty horizontal machining capabilities.
