MAZAK HCN-16000QS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mazak HCN-16000QS is a four-axis CNC horizontal machining center engineered to perform both traditional HMC and boring machine operations, maximizing part processing flexibility and reducing setups. The machine features a robust double-column design that centers the quill to eliminate overhang and imbalance, ensuring superior stability and accuracy. The X, Y, and Z axes provide travel distances of 110.24", 62.99", and 72.83" respectively, accommodating large workpieces up to 3,000mm in diameter and 2,000mm in height. The spindle delivers 3,000 RPM with a 50-hp (37-kW) direct-drive motor generating 1,000 ft-lbs of torque, ideal for heavy-duty boring and drilling applications. An 80-tool automatic tool changer with CAT50 taper significantly reduces setup times and increases operational efficiency. The twin ball screw-driven Y-axis ensures fast, precise, and smooth stroke extension and retraction. The quill head features high-torque capability supported by angular contact bearings for Z-axis thrust during heavy machining operations and roller-type bearings for face milling and roughing. Optional automation compatibility with Mazak's PALLETECH system and available attachment changers further enhance versatility through specialized operations including U-axis boring and facing capabilities.
