Technical Description
The Toyoda HMC500 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust CNC machine featuring 3-axis travel with 25.2" on the X-axis, 24" on the Y-axis, and 26.8" on the Z-axis. It is powered by a 30 hp motor, driving a high-speed spindle with a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM, enabling efficient high-precision machining. The machine utilizes a CAT#40 tool taper with a 60-tool automatic tool changer capacity, supporting extended production runs without frequent tool changes. The pallet measures 19.68" by 19.68", capable of handling workpieces up to approximately 1,100 lbs, with rapid traverse rates up to 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) across all axes for reduced cycle times. The CNC control, typically a Fanuc 0i-MF system, delivers precise axis positioning and smooth operation. Structure-wise, the machine stands 115.59" tall and weighs 25,350 lbs, providing substantial rigidity for stable machining processes. Additional features often include built-in chip conveyors, coolant tanks, and support for pallet changers to enhance productivity. This machine excels in machining aluminum and diverse metals, suitable for aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing industries requiring high accuracy and throughput. Its combination of high spindle speed, ample travel, and large tool magazine capacity ensures flexibility in complex component production. The Toyoda HMC500 is valued for reliability, precise multi-axis control, and the ability to maintain tight tolerances in demanding production environments.
