MS MACHINING HMC-40 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MS Machining HMC-40 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for precision and durability in high-volume manufacturing environments. It features a robust 28" x 28" standard table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,000 lbs, with an optional rotary table and pallet changer system supporting up to 6 pallets for enhanced automation and productivity. The machine operates on four axes, including a 360-degree B-axis rotary table for versatile machining capabilities. Its horizontal spindle employs a CAT 50 taper, powered by a 30 HP motor rated for a 30-minute duty cycle, and spins up to 3,000 RPM, optimized for heavy cutting tasks. The HMC-40 offers significant travel ranges of 40" on the X-axis, 30" on the Y-axis (optionally 40"), and 28" on the Z-axis, with rapid traverse rates of 480 inches per minute across all axes, ensuring fast and efficient material removal. Equipped with a standard 48-position automatic tool changer (expandable to 76 tools), the machine supports extensive tooling versatility and reduces downtime during operations. The table is a support index type, with steel way covers and box-way construction enhancing rigidity and longevity under demanding machining conditions. Optional features include pallet changers (2 to 6 pallets) and rotary tables to customize workflows. This machine is suited for heavy-duty, precise horizontal machining applications in industries requiring high capacity and flexibility.
