2014 MIKRON HPM800UHD VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2014 MIKRON HPM 800U HD is a 5-axis high-performance machining center with high-dynamics capability, designed by GF Machining Solutions for simultaneous five-axis contouring of large complex components in aerospace, energy, and precision mold manufacturing. The HD (High Dynamics) designation reflects the machine's 1G acceleration capability, enabling rapid direction changes during high-feed five-axis contouring without dimensional compromise. The machine features a 31.5 x 23.6 inch work table on a tilting A-axis (-45 to +140 degrees) and unlimited B-axis rotation, with X/Y/Z linear travels of 31.5, 31.5, and 21.6 inches supporting workpieces up to 500 kg (1,100 lbs). The Step-Tec inline spindle operates at up to 20,000 RPM through an HSK-A63 interface at approximately 52 HP (30-minute rating), enabling aggressive high-speed finishing as well as dynamic roughing across multiple material classes. Rapid traverse rates of 2,358 IPM on all linear axes minimize non-cutting time during complex five-axis programs. The Heidenhain iTNC 530 control provides high-speed look-ahead interpolation, full 5-axis compensation, and 3D simulation capability for complex contouring programs. Tool magazine options from 30 to 210 positions support extended unattended production. At 15,500 kg (34,170 lbs), the HPM 800U HD's substantial mass ensures the structural rigidity required for tight tolerances and exceptional surface finish quality on demanding five-axis workpieces.
