Technical Description
The SMTCL HMC50C-40 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. Featuring a robust 19.7" x 19.7" table, it supports workpieces up to 2,640 lbs, ensuring versatility for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine is equipped with a standard rotary table for enhanced flexibility in complex part production. Its horizontal spindle utilizes a CAT #40 taper and delivers a maximum speed of 14,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP (30-minute rating) motor for consistent cutting performance. The automatic tool changer (ATC) accommodates up to 60 tools, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. Standard pallet changer functionality with two pallets enables continuous operation, ideal for high-volume manufacturing. The HMC50C-40 operates on four axes (X, Y, Z, and rotary), with X, Y, and Z travel distances of 31.4", 27.9", and 31.4" respectively. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds reach 1,572 inches per minute across all three linear axes, ensuring fast and accurate movement. The machine’s advanced CNC control system, combined with precision ball screws and heavy-duty guide rails, guarantees high repeatability and accuracy. Designed for reliability and ease of use, the HMC50C-40 is suitable for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and mold making, where precision, speed, and durability are critical.
