MITSUI SEIKI HU 40-T HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2001 Mitsui Seiki HU 40-T Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision horizontal machining with a CAT 40 spindle taper. It features a 15 HP spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 12,000 RPM, facilitating efficient machining operations. The machine offers robust travel capacities with 22" on the X-axis, 20" on the Y-axis, and 18" on the Z-axis, suitable for a wide range of part sizes. It has a dual pallet system, each measuring 15.7" x 15.7", supporting a maximum pallet load of 880 lbs, which allows for efficient part loading and unloading to maximize productivity. The HU 40-T incorporates a 40-tool automatic tool changer, accommodating tools up to 3.1" in diameter, 11.8" in length, and 17.6 lbs in weight, which supports diverse tooling requirements without manual intervention. The rapid traverse rate for all axes is 1,181 inches per minute, enabling quick positioning between cuts and improving cycle times. Control is managed via the Fanuc 15M CNC system, noted for its reliability and precision control capabilities. Additional standard features include a coolant system and chip conveyor to manage machining debris and maintain optimal cutting conditions. The machine footprint measures 130" long by 204" wide and 102" high, with an overall weight of 17,600 lbs, requiring a 220V 3-phase power supply. This machining center is well-suited for demanding horizontal machining tasks providing stability, high speed, and automation integration.
