SNK HF-6M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SNK HF-6M is a bridge-type vertical machining center designed for five-sided precision machining of large workpieces. This robust system features a standard table measuring 196.8" x 118.1" with an optional configuration extending to 236.2" length, capable of supporting workpieces up to 55,000 lbs. The machine utilizes a #50 spindle taper operating at a maximum of 3,000 RPM, with standard power output of 35 HP and optional 49 HP capacity for demanding applications. The three-axis CNC system incorporates Fanuc 31i control, providing 206.6" X-axis travel (optional 285"), 165.3" Y-axis travel, and 31.4" Z-axis travel (optional 39.3"), all with rapid traverse rates of 787 IPM. The automatic tool changer accommodates 60 tools as standard, expandable to 180 tools for extended production runs without tool changes, facilitating efficient multi-operation sequences. Optional fourth-axis capability and dual-pallet changer functionality enhance versatility for complex machining requirements. The super-rigid bridge-type construction, combined with powerful servo drives and precision ball screws, enables strong cutting forces suitable for heavy material removal operations. This machine excels in applications requiring large workpiece capacity, improved efficiency, and complete CNC machining flexibility, making it ideal for aerospace, die/mold, and heavy fabrication industries.
