The CNC horizontal machining center is designed for multi-face precision machining, capable of performing milling, boring, drilling, reaming, tapping, and other complex operations on four sides of a workpiece in a single setup. Widely used in defense, aerospace, automotive, mold making, and general machinery manufacturing, this HMC is ideal for machining box-type parts, housings, discs, and irregular-shaped components. With its horizontal spindle orientation and rotary worktable, the machining center supports multi-process operations with high precision and production efficiency, especially for parts requiring tight tolerances and reduced setups.

Features of CNC Horizontal Machining Center (HMC)

High Precision

All X, Y, and Z axes are equipped with hollow-core cooling ball screws, effectively reducing thermal deformation during high-speed motion. Integrated temperature compensation uses thermal sensors placed at key structural points to automatically adjust axis positions, ensuring consistent machining accuracy.

High Speed

The machining center features a built-in motorized spindle with a top speed of 12,000 rpm and two-stage internal gear shifting, supporting both low-speed cutting and high-speed finishing. High-rigidity linear guideways on all axes allow rapid feed rates up to 60 m/min. The dual-arm automatic tool changer enables quick tool swaps in just 2 seconds, maximizing efficiency.

Structural Stability

The entire machining center base is constructed from resin-sand castings, with a one-piece casting for the bed. The column, saddle, and table move on this rigid foundation, while the rotary worktable and ATC mechanism are fixed to the machine body that enhances its structural integrity. Finite element analysis (FEA) during the design phase ensures optimal load distribution and vibration resistance.

Core Component Features

High-Speed Motorized Spindle

Integrated two-stage transmission supports both low-speed torque machining and high-speed finishing with maximum stability.

Ball Screw with Hollow Cooling System

Advanced hollow-core ball screws on all axes reduce thermal distortion, significantly enhancing machining accuracy.

Temperature Compensation System

Built-in thermal sensors and real-time software compensation improve precision under varying operating conditions.

High Feed Rates

Rapid traverse speeds of 60 m/min shorten cycle times and increase overall productivity.

Fast Tool Change

Dual-arm automatic tool changer enables reliable tool swaps in just 2 seconds, reducing idle time.

One-Piece Cast Base with Fea-Optimized Structure

The machine base is made from a single casting. Finite element analysis during the design process ensures improved rigidity, minimized vibration, and structural balance under load.
