MAZAK HC5000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAZAK HC5000 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust design optimized for high-efficiency precision machining with an extensive axis travel range of 28.74 inches on the X and Y axes and 31.5 inches on the Z axis. Its powerful 20 HP spindle motor drives a CAT 40 spindle taper up to 12,000 RPM, enabling versatile machining of medium to large components with excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The machine integrates an 84-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), supporting extensive tooling options and minimizing downtime during production. The pallet size measures 19.69 by 19.69 inches, facilitating workpiece setup and faster cycle times. Weighing approximately 34,000 pounds, the HC5000 is engineered for rigidity and thermal stability, ensuring consistent performance under heavy-duty machining conditions. Its configuration supports efficient handling of complex parts with precise multi-axis control, suitable for aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing sectors requiring high throughput and quality. Cooling systems, chip conveyors, and Mazatrol CNC controls typically accompany the unit in production setups to further enhance automation and operational efficiency. This machining center balances high-speed spindle dynamics and structural durability, making it ideal for demanding horizontal machining applications requiring long travel distances and large tooling capacity.
