MAZAK HCR-5000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2019 MAZAK HCR-5000 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, simultaneous 5-axis CNC machine engineered for advanced precision and productivity in complex part manufacturing. Featuring a robust 120-tool magazine, the HCR-5000 ensures efficient tool management and rapid changeover, supporting high-mix, low-volume production environments. The machine is equipped with a high-speed spindle capable of reaching up to 18,000 RPM, enabling fast material removal rates and superior surface finishes, especially when utilizing advanced tooling. The integral spindle/motor design minimizes vibration and power loss, while temperature-controlled cooling oil circulation around the spindle bearings and headstock maintains thermal stability, ensuring consistent machining accuracy even during extended operations. The HCR-5000 incorporates a unique tilting rotary table with a 225° A-axis rotation range (–90° to +135°) and ±360° C-axis rotation, allowing for comprehensive 5-axis machining of intricate workpiece contours. Linear axes deliver high-speed axial acceleration and jerk, with rapid traverse rates of 175 m/sec³ on X and Y axes and 175 m/sec³ on the Z-axis, significantly reducing cycle times. The machine’s large-capacity coolant system, including a 1000 PSI high-pressure pump, ensures effective chip disposal and optimal tool life. Designed for industries such as aerospace and automotive, the HCR-5000 combines a rigid machine structure with advanced motion control, delivering high-speed, high-output machining for a wide range of applications. Its roller gear cam system on both A- and C-axes provides 0.0001° positioning increments, guaranteeing exceptional accuracy and repeatability.
