WEMAS HZ 1000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The WEMAS HZ 1000 is a robust horizontal machining center designed for high-precision, versatile machining tasks. It features a substantial X-axis travel of 82.677 inches, and Y and Z-axis travels each measuring 48.622 inches, providing an extensive work envelope ideal for large workpieces. The machine's spindle supports a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM and a 90 taper, enabling efficient and accurate high-speed machining operations. Its pallet system measures 39.37 inches by 39.37 inches, facilitating sizable part setup and quick pallet changes to optimize productivity. The control system is a FANUC 0i-MD CNC controller, known for its digital servo control, fine acceleration/deceleration, and sophisticated interpolation capabilities supporting up to 3 axes simultaneously in contouring mode. FANUC 0i-MD offers advanced features such as rigid tapping, flexible feed gears, and extensive tool compensation memory, ensuring precision and operational reliability. It includes comprehensive axis and spindle control, backlash compensation, and built-in safety interlocks. Rapid traverse rates and feed overrides enhance machining efficiency, while the controller supports metric/inch conversions and automatic program backups. This combination of generous travels, a capable spindle, and a reliable CNC system makes the WEMAS HZ 1000 suitable for complex milling, drilling, and tapping processes in horizontal orientation, targeting automotive, aerospace, and heavy industrial manufacturing applications.
