SHIMADA CN-660 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Shimada CN-660 is a high-productivity, horizontal CNC 6-spindle automatic lathe designed for efficient chucking operations. It features six main spindles, each capable of a maximum turning diameter of 2.760" and a turning length of 9.840", with a main spindle max swing of 2.760". The standard chuck diameter is 5.000", and each spindle delivers 7.4 HP at 2,500 RPM, ensuring robust performance for a wide range of machining tasks. The machine utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier and supports up to six turning tools, with one tool capable of simultaneous cutting. The CN-660 operates on a 2-axis (X/Z) control system, with both axes offering a travel distance of 4.720" and rapid traverse rates of 394 inches per minute, enabling fast and precise movements. The X, Y, and Z axes all feature a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute, optimizing cycle times and throughput. This configuration makes the CN-660 ideal for high-volume production environments, providing excellent setup flexibility and machining speed. The machine’s design emphasizes efficiency, accuracy, and ease of operation, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial applications.
