OKK HM500S/40 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The OKK HM500S/40 horizontal machining center features a robust horizontal spindle with a CAT 40 taper, capable of speeds up to 10,000 RPM standard and an optional 15,000 RPM, powered by a 30 HP motor suitable for sustained 30-minute operation. It provides a working envelope with travels of 24.8" in X, 24.4" in Y, and 27.95" in Z axes, allowing versatile machining of moderate to large components. The 19.68" x 19.68" square table supports standard index tables, while optional pallet changers accommodate two pallets to boost production efficiency. A 60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) is standard, with an option to expand capacity to 120 tools, enabling complex tooling requirements and extended unattended operation. Rapid traverse rates reach 2,126 inches per minute on all axes, supporting high-speed positioning and cycle times. This 3-axis CNC machine is typically equipped with a Fanuc 31i control system, facilitating advanced high precision machining with rigid tapping and through-spindle coolant features. The machine weighs approximately 27,000 lbs and operates on 220V 3-phase power with air requirements around 90 psi. Its horizontal spindle orientation and efficient tool management make it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and tooling industries requiring high accuracy and productivity in metal cutting applications. Optional chiller units and chip conveyors further enhance operational reliability and ease of maintenance. The HM500S/40 balances rigidity, power, and speed for high-performance horizontal machining tasks in demanding industrial environments.
