NIIGATA HN80FC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Niigata HN80FC Horizontal Machining Center is a robust CNC machine designed for high-precision, heavy-duty machining tasks. It features an extensive travel range with 60.2 inches on the X-axis, 33.5 inches on the Y-axis, and 43.3 inches on the Z-axis, allowing for machining of large components. The machine is powered by a 35-horsepower spindle motor, achieving a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM, suitable for a variety of materials and cutting operations. It includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a large capacity of 126 tools, utilizing a CAT 50 taper, enabling flexible and efficient tool management for complex machining processes. The pallet size is 39.3 inches square, providing a stable platform for workpiece mounting and turnover, which enhances productivity in production environments. Control is managed by a FANUC 15M CNC system, a legacy but reliable control known for its solid performance in milling applications. The control facilitates precise path guidance and program handling, supporting standard CNC programming and communications via RS232 parameters. The entire system weighs approximately 40,850 pounds, indicating a heavy, stable machine base essential for minimizing vibration and ensuring machining accuracy. The Niigata HN80FC is ideal for industries requiring large-part machining with automated tool management and reliable control technology. Its substantial tool capacity and travel distances make it suitable for complex, multi-operation production workflows.
