PORTA S.P.A. PORTACENTER 250 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The PORTA S.P.A. PORTACENTER 250 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision horizontal machining operations. It features a robust 22-axis configuration with three primary linear axes (X, Y, Z), each offering a travel distance of 9.840 inches (250 mm) and supporting maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds of 1,170 inches per minute (ipm), ensuring fast and accurate movement for efficient production cycles. The machine is equipped with a horizontal spindle delivering 15.00 HP (30-minute rating), suitable for demanding cutting tasks across a variety of materials. Tool management is handled by an automatic tool changer with a standard capacity of 72 tools, expandable to 120 tools as an option, enabling extended unmanned operation and flexibility in complex machining processes. The PORTACENTER 250 does not include a pallet changer or rotary/index table support, focusing instead on direct workpiece mounting and high-speed machining. Its design emphasizes rigidity, precision, and dynamic performance, making it ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances and high repeatability. The absence of a U axis and support for rotary or index tables streamlines the machine for straightforward, high-efficiency horizontal milling tasks. With its advanced axis control, powerful spindle, and versatile tooling system, the PORTACENTER 250 delivers reliable, high-speed machining performance for a wide range of industrial applications.
