OKK HMC500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The OKK HMC500 Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for high-speed, high-precision production with a robust 3-axis configuration and rapid traverse rates of 2,480 ipm on all linear axes. Featuring a 19.68" x 19.68" pallet, it supports workpieces up to 1,543 lbs and includes a standard built-in rotary table for versatile 4th axis operations. The horizontal spindle utilizes a CAT40 taper, delivers 50 HP (30-minute rating), and achieves top speeds of 15,000 RPM for efficient machining of a wide range of materials. Tooling is managed by a 60-station automatic tool changer with a lightning-fast 1.0-second tool change time, while a standard 2-pallet changer enables uninterrupted operation. Linear travels measure 29.92" (X), 29.92" (Y), and 31.50" (Z), with maximum feed rates of 1,575 ipm, supporting both high-speed and heavy-duty cutting applications. The machine’s rigid stepped X-axis rail design and lightweight column enhance stability and acceleration, reaching 1G for rapid positioning. All maintenance controls and gauges are centrally located for ease of access. The HMC500 is equipped with a Fanuc 31i-B Plus control, high-pressure coolant through spindle, and a chip conveyor for efficient operation. Its compact footprint, high rigidity, and advanced features make it ideal for demanding automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing environments.
