YAMA SEIKI AWEA AH-500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Yama Seiki AWEA AH-500 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust 19.68" x 19.68" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,320 lbs. It is equipped with a horizontal spindle configured with a BBT50 taper, delivering up to 10,000 RPM (optionally 6,000 RPM) and 35 HP with a 30-minute rating, suitable for high-performance machining. The spindle's direct drive supports precision and stability during heavy-duty cutting. The machine offers 4 axes of movement (X, Y, Z, and B), with travels of 27.55", 25.59", and 25.59" for the linear axes respectively, alongside a 360° B-axis rotational capability, enabling complex 5-face machining operations. The tool handling system includes a 60-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with an optional capacity expansion to 240 tools, enhancing productivity and flexibility. A standard rotary support table enhances workpiece positioning, while no support index table is included. The machine's rapid traverse rates reach 2,360 ipm (inches per minute) and a maximum feed rate of 393 ipm on all linear axes, offering fast and accurate movement. Optional pallet changers support up to 2 pallets, allowing for efficient part loading/unloading and increased throughput. This machine is designed for high precision and versatile horizontal milling applications, meeting demanding manufacturing requirements with reliable rigidity and advanced multi-axis control.
