HX 630 High Productivity Horizontal Machining Center
The HX630 is very high speed Horizontal Machining Center. A maximum work area of 39.37" high x 36.6" dia., combined with long axis travels allow machining of higher quantity or larger size parts. It has a rapid X, Y, and Z traverse of 1969ipm, as well as a cutting feed rate with 50 m/min (1969 ipm). Its spindle speed is 8,000 rpm with 12,000 as an option. The HX630 covers wide range of work pieces with large X, Y, and Z traverses of 41.3", 34.4", 34.4". The Fanuc 18iMB is the standard controller. The HX630 has a rapid traverse of 50m/min (1969ipm) for each axis reduces a non-cutting time to achieve a high productivity. It was also designed with a wide and rigid roller guide way on each axis which helps to improve a high speed traverse with low friction. Wedge type mechanism produces 4,630lbs of pull stud retention force. This is more than twice the tool clamp force of spring type clamp systems.
Chips and coolant are kept separated which helps keep the work area clean. The CAM type ATC system minimizes the tool changing time. 60 tool capacity is standard and 90 or 120 tools are available as an option. There is also a matrix type magazine available for over 120 tools. The rugged cast bed is a single piece and was designed by the "Finite Element Method" on a CAD system. Adding a rigid characteristic to the spindle by adopting an angular contact ball bearing of 110mm (4.33") and spindle housing of 260mm (10.24") improves the machining ability by increasing the tool clamping force. The HX630 has a 2 step gear head. The rotary arm type APC provides the fastest pallet changing time in its class. The idle station rotates freely with lock positions at 90 degree increments for easy loading and unloading of work. This also helps maintain a clean work environment.
