PRATIC PWA HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Pratic PWA Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for versatile, precision horizontal machining tasks. It features a 3-axis configuration with travel distances of 800 inches along both X and Y axes, and 500 inches along the Z axis, allowing for large workpiece handling. The machine is powered by an 11-horsepower motor driving a spindle capable of reaching up to 12,000 RPM, accommodating high-speed machining operations. Tool management is optimized by a 32-tool automatic tool changer, utilizing BT/SK/CAT40 tapers for broad tooling compatibility. The machine employs a robust CNC control system for precise and automated processing. Its pallets are notably large, measuring 3,100 inches in width and 6,050 inches in length, supporting substantial and heavy workpieces. The center is designed for high productivity with features like 6-faces rigid machining that significantly improve efficiency and return on investment. Its compact design compared to traditional setups allows for a smaller footprint without compromising capacity. The Pratic PWA is suitable for industries requiring accurate, flexible, and large-scale machining, effectively replacing conventional production lines with improved throughput and minimized downtime. This combination of powerful spindle, extended axis travel, sizable pallet support, and automated tooling makes it a comprehensive solution for heavy-duty horizontal machining applications.
