SMTCL HMC80C-50 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMTCL HMC80C-50 is a high-performance horizontal machining center featuring a 31.4" x 31.4" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,400 lbs. It operates on a 4-axis CNC configuration with travels of 53.14" (X), 43.3" (Y), and 43.3" (Z), all with rapid traverse rates up to 1,572 ipm, enabling efficient and precise multi-dimensional machining. The horizontal spindle is CAT #50 taper, running up to 6,000 RPM with a 35 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles, providing robust power for heavy cutting tasks. The tool handling system includes a 90-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), facilitating extended machining runs without manual intervention. Standard equipment includes a pallet changer with two pallets to ensure minimal downtime between setups. The machine’s rigid construction and large travels allow for stable machining of large and heavy parts, supported by high-feed rates and rapid positioning. It integrates advanced CNC control (typically a Fanuc series), optimizing precision and operational flexibility. Ideal for industries requiring heavy-duty, complex machining, the HMC80C-50 offers versatility in tooling and pallet management to maximize productivity and minimize cycle times while maintaining high precision and process reliability. This machining center is well-suited for aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing sectors demanding powerful, large-capacity horizontal milling operations.
