RACER FHX-1600 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The RACER FHX-1600 is a horizontal machining center designed for high-precision automated manufacturing with comprehensive work envelope capabilities. This machine features 120.47 inches of X-axis travel, 86.614 inches of Y-axis travel, and 55.906 inches of Z-axis travel, providing substantial workspace for complex multi-sided component machining. The system utilizes a Sinumerik One CNC control platform, enabling digital-first manufacturing strategies through advanced simulation and virtual commissioning capabilities. The FHX-1600 operates as a fully automatic horizontal center requiring minimal operator intervention, incorporating a moving-column, fixed-table design that facilitates efficient part loading and accessibility. The pallet dimensions of 2.4803 inches width and length accommodate flexible workholding configurations. Standard features include automatic pallet changers for seamless production transitions and multi-axis machining capability supporting 3 and 4-axis operations. This model delivers robust performance through RACER's comprehensive support infrastructure, including three days of on-site programming and applications training at a local university, plus dedicated maintenance personnel involvement during assembly and run-off procedures. The FHX-1600 excels in medium to high-volume production environments where consistent accuracy, rapid cycle times, and minimal setup requirements are critical operational priorities.
