SMART NX5000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMART NX5000 is a Japanese-built horizontal machining center engineered for precision manufacturing across aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. This CNC machine features a robust 40 HP spindle motor capable of achieving speeds up to 12,000 RPM with a CAT 50 taper, delivering exceptional cutting performance for intricate component fabrication. The working envelope spans 31.5 inches (X-axis), 29.5 inches (Y-axis), and 32.7 inches (Z-axis), accommodating mid-sized workpieces with rapid traverse rates of 1,968 inches per minute across all three axes for enhanced productivity. The machine incorporates a 60-position automatic tool changer (ATC) for seamless tool indexing, paired with 20-inch x 20-inch pallet stations that accept up to 1,320 pounds per pallet. Standard equipment includes a FANUC 31iB CNC control system, coolant-through-spindle capability at 870 PSI, and dual auger internal chip conveyors with an external chip conveyor option. The machine features a 122-gallon coolant tank and spindle cooling unit controlled by thermal sensors for consistent thermal management during extended production runs. Its caged-roller linear motion guides with grease lubrication ensure long-term maintenance-free operation, while the 4-axis control with optional Mitsubishi MP Inductosyn scale enables complex multi-face machining. The NX5000 balances high-speed capabilities with precision accuracy, making it ideal for manufacturing brackets, housings, and other critical components in materials including aluminum, steel, titanium, and plastics.
