MIKRON HSM 500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machining center features a 21.65" x 17.72" table/pallet size, providing a robust work surface compatible with a range of part sizes. It offers axis travels of 19.69" (X), 17.73" (Y), and 13.79" (Z), enabling three-dimensional machining with ample movement for diverse machining tasks. The machine supports rapid traverse and cutting feed rates of up to 1576 inches per minute (IPM), facilitating high-speed, efficient material removal. The spindle utilizes an HSK40E taper interface, designed for precision and stability at high speeds, with a maximum spindle speed of 42,000 RPM powered by a 13.42 HP motor. This combination delivers both high rotational speeds and substantial cutting power, suitable for fine finishing and roughing operations alike. The tool magazine accommodates 36 tools, using a chain-type tool changer with a fast 10-second tool change time and a chip-to-chip time of 13 seconds, optimizing production efficiency. Additional features enhance operational precision and reliability, including a Touch Probe PS 32 for in-process measurement, a Unilube oil mist spray unit combined with an oil mist extraction system to maintain cleanliness and lubrication, and a coolant tank for temperature control during machining. The machine is prepped for robot interface, allowing automation integration, and includes a macro table chuck for secure workholding. Dust extraction is managed via an AMANO system to maintain a clean work environment. This configuration suits high-precision, high-speed machining applications requiring rapid tool switching and extended travel capabilities.
