SNK HF-12M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The SNK HF-12M is an extra-large vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty production of massive workpieces such as marine engines, turbine casings, and exhaust frames. This gantry-type machine features exceptional work envelope capacity with X, Y, and Z travels of 1,122", 307", and 79" respectively, supported by a massive table measuring 1,102" length by 236" width. The machine accommodates workpieces weighing up to 999,999 lbs, demonstrating its suitability for large-scale industrial applications. The vertical spindle operates at 1,200 RPM with a #50 taper and delivers 200 HP continuous power, providing substantial cutting force for demanding machining operations. Rapid traverse rates reach 787 ipm across all three axes, ensuring efficient non-cutting movements and reduced cycle times. The machine incorporates an automatic tool changer (ATC) with standard capacity for 60 tools, expandable to 180 tools for extended production runs without manual intervention. The HF-12M's robust construction combines high rigidity with precision engineering to maintain accuracy retention during aggressive cutting operations. Its configuration supports both conventional three-axis machining and optional four-axis capability, providing versatility across diverse manufacturing applications. Equipped with numerous attachments and outfitting options, this machine accommodates various workpiece geometries and machining requirements, making it an ideal solution for aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturers requiring superior cutting power and dimensional consistency on large-envelope components.
