MAZAK HCN-6800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Mazak HCN-6800 is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-volume production and complex multi-axis machining operations. This robust machine features a spacious work envelope with 41.34" X-axis, 35.43" Y-axis, and 38.58" Z-axis travel, accommodating workpieces up to 1,050mm in diameter and 1,300mm in height. The machine is equipped with a powerful 50 hp spindle motor delivering 8,000 RPM, generating 609 N·m (449 ft-lbs) of maximum torque ideally suited for heavy-duty steel and cast iron machining applications. The HCN-6800 utilizes a dual-pallet system with 630mm square pallets, each capable of supporting 1,500kg loads, enabling seamless part exchange and uninterrupted production cycles. The automatic tool changer accommodates 60 tools with a CAT#50 spindle taper, delivering rapid 4.2-second tool change times to minimize downtime. The machine incorporates CNC control with full four-axis indexing capability, allowing precision contouring operations and complex part geometries. Advanced features include high-pressure coolant systems at 1,000 PSI for enhanced chip evacuation and tool life extension, integrated chip conveyor systems, and precision part probing for quality assurance. The machine's rigidity and acceleration characteristics of 0.59G ensure excellent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy across diverse manufacturing applications. The HCN-6800's proven design combines productivity, reliability, and versatility, making it an excellent choice for job shops and production facilities requiring flexible, high-capacity horizontal machining capabilities for mid to large-scale components.
