WILLIS MACHINERY & TOOLS WC 3400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Willis Machinery & Tools WC 3400 is a horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty turning and machining operations. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 20.8 inches and a maximum turning length of 200.7 inches. The spindle accommodates a 21-inch diameter chuck and supports a maximum swing of 34.2 inches. The main spindle operates at a standard speed up to 700 RPM with 20 HP power, with an optional configuration offering 600 RPM at 25 HP for enhanced torque. The machine uses a turret-type primary tool carrier capable of holding up to 8 turning tools, though it allows only one simultaneous cutting tool operation. It operates with a 2-axis configuration, providing an X-axis travel of 18.8 inches and a Z-axis travel of 69 inches, extendable to 187 inches optionally. Both axes have a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 315 inches per minute, supporting efficient material removal and positioning. This machining center is engineered for versatile and precise horizontal turning tasks, balancing power, size capabilities, and tooling capacity for medium to large workpieces. Its robust spindle and turret system coupled with substantial axis travels make it suitable for complex and lengthy machining operations requiring high accuracy and repeatability.
