SUMMIT MACHINE TOOL LLC HTM4H-S HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Summit Machine Tool LLC HTM4H-S Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 4-axis machining solution designed for heavy-duty horizontal milling operations. It features a large 55" x 55" standard support table capable of handling workpieces up to 13,200 lbs, providing excellent capacity for heavy and large components. The spindle is horizontally oriented with a #50 taper and operates at up to 1,800 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor rated for 30-minute cycles, enabling stable cutting performance in demanding applications. Tooling is manual with a single tool carrier and no automatic tool changer or pallet changer, which suits setups requiring straightforward tool management. Axis travels include 47" in the Y-axis and 59" in the Z-axis, supporting substantial workpiece movement, although the X-axis travel is unspecified. Rapid traverse rates and feed rates are not provided but the machine maintains four axes, without a U-axis, offering precise control over machining paths. This horizontal machining center is engineered for stability and versatility in machining heavy, large parts where powerful spindle torque and a rigid table are required, making it suitable for industries like aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery manufacturing. The absence of advanced automation features like a rotary table or pallet changer indicates a focus on basic yet heavy-capacity machining needs.
