NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT-MFD CORPORATION N30 MC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT MFD Corporation N30 MC is a high-precision horizontal CNC machining center designed for complete turning, milling, and drilling of rotationally symmetrical workpieces. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 30.7 inches and a maximum turning length of 59 inches. The spindle can accommodate a chuck diameter of 12 inches and a maximum bar diameter of 4 inches. Powered by a 102 HP motor, the main spindle operates at speeds up to 3,000 RPM, delivering robust performance for heavy-duty machining. This machining center is equipped with a turn/mill primary tool carrier capable of holding up to 144 tools for both turning and rotary operations, including a 50 HP rotary tool spindle with a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM. It supports simultaneous use of one cutting tool, with a four-axis configuration providing X, Y, and Z travels of 28.5 inches, 19.68 inches, and 59 inches respectively, all capable of rapid traverse rates up to 707 inches per minute for efficient machining cycles. The machine’s design includes options for left and right turning modules and supports complex machining operations such as gear hobbing, gear generating, and crankshaft milling. It is optimized for flexible shaft machining and universal manufacturing tasks, incorporating high torque, backlash-free rotary axes, and independent NC-steady rests, making it suitable for demanding production environments requiring versatility and precision. The machine dimensions and features support machining lengths up to 59 inches, with optional extensions available for longer workpieces.
