WEIHAI HUADONG HC-2418 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The WEIHAI HUADONG HC-2418 is a CNC-controlled horizontal machining center designed for precision metalworking applications. The machine features substantial work envelope dimensions with 94.3 inches of X-axis travel, 70.7 inches of Y-axis travel, and 58.9 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating large and complex workpieces. The 58.9-inch square pallet provides ample workspace for fixture mounting and component positioning, facilitating efficient production cycles. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, the HC-2418 delivers robust cutting performance optimized for heavy-duty machining operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The integrated automatic tool changer accommodates 40 tools, enabling extended unmanned machining cycles and reducing non-productive tool-change time between operations. The horizontal spindle orientation allows for superior chip evacuation and multiple-face machining in a single setup, improving overall productivity and reducing handling requirements. The CNC control system provides programmable automation for complex geometries and repeatability. High-rigidity construction with linear guides and precision bearings ensures thermal stability and consistent dimensional accuracy throughout extended production runs. This configuration makes the HC-2418 particularly suitable for aerospace, automotive, and heavy industrial component manufacturing where demanding tolerances and production efficiency are critical requirements.
