NIIGATA HN80C HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The NIIGATA HN80C is a CNC horizontal machining center designed for precision manufacturing operations. This machine features substantial work envelope capabilities with X-axis travel of 60 inches, Y-axis travel of 48 inches, and Z-axis travel of 36 inches, accommodating large and complex workpieces. The system operates with dual 31.5" x 31.5" pallets rated for maximum loads of 3,310 lbs each, enabling continuous production with automatic pallet indexing at 1-degree increments. The spindle delivers speeds up to 4,500 RPM with CAT 50 taper compatibility and is driven by a 35-40 HP motor, providing 618 ft-lbs of torque. The machine features rapid traverse rates of approximately 709 IPM across all three axes. Tool capacity ranges from 60 to 126 positions depending on the configuration, with automatic tool changers capable of 5-second tool-to-tool exchange cycles. Pallet changeout occurs every 30 seconds via rotary-type automatic pallet changers. The machine integrates FANUC CNC controls (typically 15-M or 18iM series) with through-spindle coolant delivery, rigid tapping function, and probe interface capabilities for enhanced machining versatility. Weighing approximately 44,600-48,400 lbs, the HN80C occupies a floor footprint of roughly 275" x 166" x 148", making it suitable for dedicated production environments requiring high-precision horizontal machining with extended tool magazine capacity and multi-pallet automation.
