Mazak HCN5000
HCN 5000
The HCN5000 is designed to be utilized as a high production horizontal machining center for both heavy-duty steel and high-speed aluminum applications. The machine utilizes heavily reinforced cast iron components, coupled with the latest machine tool technologies to form the most productive horizontal machining center available for either steel or aluminum or both.
The HCN5000 is a 4 axis-machining center. The machine features an extremely compact design, which reduces the amount of your valuable floor space that is needed at Tier ONE. The ultra high-speed pallet changer and tool changer combined with rapid traverse rates makes the HCN5000 the most productive machine in its class.
The spindle on the HCN5000 features state-of-the-art spindle technology utilizing a modern AC Digital spindle drive. The standard spindle features a powerful unique integral spindle motor design also eliminates all drive belts or gears in the high range ensuring faster spindle response and improved machine accuracy’s and surface finishes.
The HCN5000 design is environmentally friendly. The standby power requirement is reduced by 20%. The worklight is automatically turned off when the NC operator’s panel is not used for 15 minutes (Adjustable). The chip conveyor is automatically turned off 5 minutes after “end of cycle” (adjustable), restart switch. Air consumption has been reduced. Reduced internal waste: grease is now used, rather than lubrication oil. No “tramp” oil from linear guides and ball screws contaminating the coolant reservoir, extending the coolant life.
Highly precise axis movements are achieved by utilizing large diameter ballscrews which are preloaded and rigidly held at both ends by integral cast supports. All ballscrews and bearings are cooled by an oil/air cooling system ensuring minimum heat generation and improved accuracy. The ballscrews on all 4 axis feature a hollow core into which a re-circulating fluid is passed through to a chiller unit for additional cooling further reducing the effect of thermal distortion on the machine accuracy’s. All axis are driven by Digital High Gain Servo Motors which are coupled directly to the end of each ballscrew utilizing 1.0 million pulse per revolution end coders. These design features ensure extremely stable and highly precise positioning accuracy’s.
The HCN5000 comes with a totally enclosed chip and coolant guard as standard equipment for a safe and clean working environment. The large volume of chips produced are flushed out of the machining area by the standard Flood, Niagara and Through-the-Spindle Coolant systems. The chip and coolant troughs have a sheet metal liner which reduces the effects of thermal distortion on the base machine casting thus improving overall accuracy. These features coupled with the standard rear exit chip conveyor ensure fast and efficient removal of chips from the machine. All of these outstanding features assures you of everything necessary for fast, efficient and highly productive machining in a wide variety of materials and work pieces.
