PARPAS S16-O HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Parpas S16-O Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 3-axis machine designed for heavy-duty horizontal machining operations. It features a large table measuring 78.74 inches in length by 29.53 inches in width, capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 9,900 lbs, making it suitable for large and heavy components. The horizontal spindle configuration uses a #50 taper with a maximum spindle speed of 3,000 RPM and a 30 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, delivering substantial power for diverse machining tasks. The machine is equipped with an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) for efficient tool handling, though the tool change chip time is specified as 0.00 seconds, indicating a high-speed or continuous change mechanism. Axis travels include 62.99 inches on X, 31.5 inches on Y, and 35.43 inches on Z, each supporting a rapid traverse rate of 394 inches per minute, enabling swift multi-axis movements to optimize machining cycle times. The rotary axes provide 105 degrees on A and full 360 degrees on B for complex angular positioning. While it has a standard 3-axis configuration, there is an option for a 4-axis setup to increase versatility. This horizontal machining center is built to accommodate heavy and precise machining applications, with strong feed rates and substantial work envelope making it ideal for industries such as aerospace and die/mold manufacturing where large, intricate components are standard. Its horizontal spindle design aids chip removal and workpiece stability during milling of castings, forgings, and large assemblies.
