Mitsubishi M-H4B/16 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mitsubishi M-H4B/16 is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision manufacturing operations with moderate workpiece sizes. This 2000-model machine features a Fanuc 18i-M control system, providing reliable CNC programming and operation capabilities for complex machining tasks. The machine utilizes a traveling column design with 650mm (25.6") travels across all three primary axes—X, Y, and Z—enabling versatile part positioning and machining flexibility. The spindle operates at speeds ranging from 120 to 12,000 RPM, delivering 30 horsepower (22.4 kW) for cutting power across diverse material types and applications. The spindle incorporates an ISO 40 (CAT 40) taper configuration with ceramic bearings and automatic oiling systems for extended spindle life. A 60-position automatic tool changer with 1.3-second tool change time and 3.8-second chip-to-chip time minimizes production downtime and maximizes throughput. The dual-pallet system features 16" x 16" (400mm x 400mm) pallets with 1-degree indexing capability and a maximum load capacity of 880 pounds (400kg) per pallet. Coolant delivery through the spindle enables efficient chip evacuation and extended tool life, while flood coolant and a chip conveyor system manage debris removal. The machine includes an integrated probing system for precision workpiece setup and verification. Weighing approximately 28,600 pounds and measuring 5000mm x 3300mm x 3100mm (length x width x height), the M-H4B/16 is electrically configured for 230V/3-phase/60Hz operation, making it compatible with standard industrial power supplies.
