MONFORTS UNICEN 500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MONFORTS UNICEN 500 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling operations with a robust 4-axis configuration. It features a single main spindle capable of handling parts up to 19.7" in diameter and 59" in length, supported by an 8" diameter chuck and a maximum swing of 39.4". The spindle accepts bar stock up to 3.54" in diameter and delivers 46 HP at speeds up to 4,000 RPM, providing strong cutting power. A sub spindle with 33 HP and 4,000 RPM complements the main spindle for enhanced machining flexibility. The machine is equipped with HSK tool holders supporting up to 34 turning tools and 34 rotary tools, with rotary tools providing 21 HP and speeds up to 4,500 RPM. Its tool management supports simultaneous cutting with one tool and a comprehensive tool turret for complex machining sequences. The travel envelopes are 22" (X-axis), 7.88" (Y-axis), and 43.3" (Z-axis), with rapid and maximum feed rates of 472 inches per minute on all axes, ensuring efficient and rapid material removal. The combined capabilities make the UNICEN 500 suitable for complex, high-precision machining tasks in aerospace, automotive, and heavy-duty industries requiring both turning and milling operations in a horizontal machining center format. Its robust design and tool capacity provide versatility and productivity for medium to large workpieces with demanding machining requirements.
