MITSUBISHI HEAVY IND. M-H5B HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mitsubishi Heavy Ind. M-H5B is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for medium to large workpieces with a maximum weight capacity of 1,100 lbs. It features a robust 19.7" x 19.7" table providing stable work support. The machine is equipped with a horizontal spindle compatible with #40 taper as standard and an optional #50 taper, capable of reaching speeds up to 12,000 RPM standard or 20,000 RPM optional, powered by a 30 HP motor with an optional 40 HP upgrade for enhanced cutting performance. It incorporates an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard 40-tool capacity, expandable up to 120 tools, and offers rapid tool changes with a chip-to-chip time of 3.8 seconds. The system supports up to three axes (X, Y, and Z), each with a travel of 25.6 inches and feed rates of 1,575 ipm for both cutting and rapid traverse motions, facilitating high-speed, high-precision machining operations. A pallet changer is standard, enabling two pallets for efficient production cycles. The machine’s structure and control system are optimized for rigidity, thermal stability, and accuracy, suitable for demanding applications such as mold and die making. The traveling column design enhances axis travel ranges, and standard features include thermal displacement compensation and dual chip conveyors for improved reliability. This machining center is ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments requiring precise and efficient horizontal machining capabilities.
