Fadal to introduce new line of horizontal machiningcenters


Fadal Machining Centers will introduce a complete family of horizontal machining centers, exhibiting three sizes of high quality horizontal machining centers included in the new HMC family. The HMC-400 w/Fanuc 18i MB CNC, 400mm² pallet, 600mm diameter x 660mm high part size, the HMC-500 w/Fanuc 21i MB CNC, 500mm² pallet, 700mm diameter x 750mm high part size, and the HMC-630 w/Fanuc 21i MB CNC, 630mm² pallet, 900mm diameter x 950mm high part size.

Fadal's family of high performance HMCs offered with heavy, rigid cast iron designs with ribbed surfaces throughout have been optimized through FEA to provide the strength, rigidity, vibration dampening, and thermal stability required to support a 24/7 duty cycle. Common features of Fadal's HMCs include a one-piece, cast base with 3 point leveling for easy installation, Fanuc CNC technology for easy operation, and a simple pallet forward design for safe and easy access to key areas.

The HMC-400, with its standard ‘coolant thru' 10,000 rpm, 15 hp (11kW) spindle and generous X/Y/Z axes travels of 24 in. x 22 in. x 22 in. (610mm x 560mm x 560mm) with ±0.0003 in. The automatic pallet changer with twin 400mm² pallets can handle up to 880 lbs (400kg) per pallet and supports continuous, uninterrupted production. The standard B-axis rotary table with ±7 arc sec. accuracy delivers full (simultaneous) fourth axis contouring. Utilizing rigid linear guideways and heavy-duty, reinforced castings, the HMC 400 delivers rapid travel rates up to 1,200 IPM
