MAZAK HCN U-8800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Mazak HCN U-8800 is a horizontal machining center designed for high precision and heavy-duty machining. It features a robust CAT 50 spindle taper with a 50 hp built-in motor spindle capable of reaching speeds up to 10,000 RPM. The machine offers substantial axis travel with 55.118 inches on the X-axis, 47.244 inches on the Y-axis, and 60.039 inches on the Z-axis, enabling complex and large component machining. The pallet measures 31.496 inches square, supporting heavy workpieces with efficient pallet handling and rapid changeover to minimize downtime. The CNC control system, typically Mazatrol Matrix, facilitates advanced automation and precise machining operations. The HCN U-8800 supports a tool capacity of up to 120 tools (automatic tool changer), enhancing productivity by accommodating various cutting operations without manual intervention. High acceleration and rapid traverse rates allow for efficient machining cycles, while features like chip conveyors and high-pressure coolant systems improve operational efficiency and tool life. Its construction ensures high rigidity and thermal stability, making it suitable for machining iron, cast metals, aluminum, and other materials requiring both rough and finish machining. The overall design supports high accuracy and repeatability with precise pallet indexing and probing systems for quality assurance. This model suits applications demanding simultaneous multi-axis machining, large workpiece handling, and high throughput in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
