MIGHTY HMC-430 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mighty HMC-430 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, rigid machine designed for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. Featuring a horizontal spindle with a #40 taper, it delivers up to 20 HP (30-minute rating) and a top speed of 6,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 9,000 RPM for enhanced versatility. The machine supports a maximum workpiece weight of 550 lbs on its robust table, which can be equipped with an optional index or rotary table for expanded machining capabilities. Tool management is handled by a 24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), ensuring rapid and reliable tool changes, while a standard 2-pallet changer increases productivity by minimizing downtime. The HMC-430 offers three linear axes with travels of 17.2" (X), 23.0" (Y), and 18.0" (Z), supporting a maximum feed rate of 276 ipm and rapid traverse speeds up to 393 ipm for fast, accurate positioning. The machine’s structural design emphasizes rigidity and stability, enabling high-accuracy machining of complex parts. With its advanced spindle, efficient tooling system, and flexible work support options, the Mighty HMC-430 is ideal for high-volume and high-mix manufacturing applications.
