SNK HF-4M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SNK HF-4M is a versatile vertical machining center designed for large workpiece applications, featuring a robust #50 spindle taper with 3,000 RPM maximum speed and 35 HP standard rating (upgradeable to 49 HP). The machine accommodates workpieces up to 33,000 lbs on a standard table measuring 157.4" × 78.7", with an optional extended table reaching 196.8" in length. Three-axis travel capabilities include 167.3" on the X-axis (expandable to 246"), 125.9" on the Y-axis, and 31.4" on the Z-axis (optionally 39.3"), enabling machining of complex large components. The rapid traverse rates achieve 787 inches per minute across all axes, with cutting feed rates up to 236 ipm. An automatic tool changer (ATC) system with 60-tool capacity facilitates efficient production workflows, supported by optional pallet changer functionality with dual-pallet configuration. The machine's bridge-type gantry design delivers exceptional rigidity and precision, making it ideal for heavy-duty five-sided machining operations in aerospace, shipbuilding, and heavy industrial sectors. Standard CNC control ensures operational flexibility, while the machine's substantial power delivery combined with generous working envelope enables aggressive material removal across diverse ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Optional 4-axis capability provides enhanced versatility for complex geometries.
