SMS THA-400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMS THA-400 is a horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in CNC machining. It features a 20" x 20" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 880 lbs, with options for index and rotary table support to enhance versatility. The spindle is horizontally oriented with an NT#40 taper, delivering up to 12,000 RPM and powered by a 30 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation, ensuring robust cutting performance. The machine is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) housing 60 tools, facilitating extended unattended operation and tooling flexibility. It operates primarily across three axes (X, Y, Z), each with a 22" travel range, rapid traverse rates up to 1,575 inches per minute, and a maximum feed rate matching rapid traverse for high-speed machining. Optional 4-axis capability is available for more complex geometries. The horizontal spindle orientation and substantial power allow effective machining of medium-sized workpieces with high rigidity and accuracy. Optional pallet changer capabilities can improve productivity by minimizing setup times and enabling continuous machining cycles. Overall, the SMS THA-400 combines a sturdy 3-axis platform with high spindle power and tooling capacity, ideal for precision, efficiency, and flexibility in horizontal CNC machining tasks.
