WFL M40 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The WFL M40 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance multifunctional turning-boring-milling machine designed for complex one-hit machining of parts up to 20.47" (520 mm) in diameter and 39.3" (1,000 mm) turning length, with optional extended Z-axis travel up to 118" (3,000 mm). It features a single main spindle with a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM and up to 72 HP (54 kW) power, delivering high torque and dynamic feed forces for superior machining performance. The main spindle accommodates a 12.4" chuck diameter and a max swing of 20.47". The machine supports up to 100 tools on the primary automatic tool changer (ATC) and has a secondary tool carrier holding up to 12 turning and 12 rotary tools. Equipped with a 5-axis configuration (expandable to 7 axes), the M40 enables complex machining operations including B-axis turning and multi-axis milling and drilling, both on-center and off-center, with C and Y-axis capabilities. The rotary tool spindle offers 6,000 RPM and 26 HP power for high-speed milling. The X, Y, and Z travels are 23.6", 9.84", and 39.3" respectively. The machine integrates advanced CNC control (commonly Siemens SINUMERIK 840D) and high-precision measuring probes for accurate, efficient, and repeatable machining processes. The robust construction with wide guideways supports heavy-duty steady rests for stabilizing large components, while the modular design affords flexible customization for diverse manufacturing requirements. This center is ideal for aerospace, automotive, and high-precision component production demanding versatility and productivity.
