NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT-MFD CORPORATION N40 MC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT-MFD CORPORATION N40 MC is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for universal complete machining of large, rotationally symmetrical workpieces. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 32.000" and a standard turning length of 78.700", extendable up to 236.000" with optional configurations. The main spindle chuck diameter is 15.000", supporting a maximum bar diameter of 5.500". The machine is equipped with a single main spindle, operating at up to 2,400 RPM and 102 HP, with an optional configuration of 1,750 RPM and 116 HP for enhanced torque. The primary tool carrier is a turn/mill head, supporting up to 144 turning tools and 144 rotary tools, allowing for extensive tooling flexibility. The N40 MC operates with four axes (X, Y, Z, and C), providing precise multi-axis control for complex machining tasks. The X-axis offers 34.440" of travel with a maximum feed and rapid traverse rate of 707 ipm, while the Y-axis provides 23.600" of travel at the same feed and traverse rates. The Z-axis delivers 78.700" of standard travel, extendable to 236.000", also at 707 ipm feed and rapid traverse. The system supports one simultaneous cutting tool as standard, with an option for two, enabling efficient multitasking operations. This machining center is ideal for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and heavy industry, combining robust construction with advanced CNC technology for high productivity and precision.
