SNK HF-5M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SNK HF-5M Vertical Machining Center is a heavy-duty, high-capacity CNC machine designed for large-scale machining tasks. It features a **large work table** measuring 157.4" x 98.4" (optionally up to 196.8" x 98.4"), supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 44,000 lbs, ideal for machining sizeable and heavy components. The machine operates with a **vertical spindle** using an ISO #50 taper, delivering up to 35 HP continuous power (49 HP optional) and a top spindle speed of 3,000 RPM, providing substantial cutting force across its large machining volume. It is equipped with an **automatic tool changer (ATC)** standard with 60 tools, which can be expanded up to 180 tools, facilitating versatile and efficient tool management with zero tool change chip time. The CNC mill supports 3 axes (with an optional 4th axis) offering X, Y, and Z travels of 167.3", 145.7", and 31.4" respectively, optionally extending Z travel to 39.3" and X travel to 246.0", enabling precise machining of very large parts. Rapid traverse rates reach 787 inches per minute across all axes, ensuring high throughput. Optional features include a pallet changer with two pallets to enhance workflow efficiency. Constructed with rigid and precise design elements, the HF-5M is suited for demanding industrial applications requiring large workpiece handling, high power, and flexible tooling options in vertical machining.
