SHANGHAI SIGMA HMC50 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Shanghai Sigma HMC50 is a three-axis CNC horizontal machining center engineered for precision manufacturing applications. This machine features a robust horizontal spindle configuration with a maximum rotational speed of 6,000 RPM and 29.5 horsepower, delivering substantial cutting capacity for heavy-duty operations. The work envelope spans 25.591 inches (X-axis), 21.654 inches (Y-axis), and 21.654 inches (Z-axis), accommodating mid-sized workpieces with flexible positioning. The 19.685-inch square pallet accepts BT-40 tool holders from an automatic 30-tool changer, enabling rapid tool changes for minimized production downtime. Equipped with GSK 980TDb CNC control technology, the system delivers precision positioning with repeatability specifications typically achieving ±0.005mm accuracy. The machine incorporates symmetrical structural design with reinforced ribbing and advanced finite element analysis-optimized components, ensuring exceptional rigidity and vibration suppression during extended cutting cycles. Three-axis linear guide ways support heavy-load operations with rapid traverse capabilities reaching up to 36,000 mm/min feed speeds. The horizontal spindle orientation facilitates efficient chip evacuation and coolant delivery through strategically positioned nozzles, reducing tool wear and improving surface finish. This configuration makes the HMC50 particularly suitable for precision aerospace components, automotive parts, mold manufacturing, and complex cavity work requiring consistent accuracy and extended tool life.
