AVEREX - Horizontal Machining Center Series



The HS450i Model can come as a standard two pallet machine with the 80 tool ATC - field expandable to either a 120 or 220 tool ATC and a six pallet system - all done in the field within two days.

CNC Systems has announced its newest AVEREX Extreme High Performance HS-540iGTS and the HS-540K horizontal machining centers (HMCs). The HS-540iGTS is fully expandable in the field from 2 APC (500 mm or 400 mm) to 6 APC and the standard 80 ATC to 120 or 220 ATC. The travels have been expanded to 31.5 x 31.5 x 31.5" with 31.5 x 40" max part capacity - all while sharing the same small footprint as the HS-450 models.

"These new models feature a powerful 50 HP Spindle, 40 or 50 BBT ~ Big Plus Taper, rapid traverse rates of 3,000 IPM, 1.25G accel/dec rates and cutting feedrates of 1,594 IPM," said a company spokesperson. "With the full 4th axis having a roller cam drive @ 66 IPM that has full thermal compensation, this makes the new HS-540iGTS an extreme performance HMC."

The new HS-540iGTS and HS-540K are the newest of eight models of the AVEREX series with the HS-540iGTS being expandable and the HS-540K being more economical.

"The AVEREX HMC series now offers a wide range of metal cutting/chip making solutions from the job shop to the large OEMs in price, floor space and height size, configurations and expandability," added the spokesperson.

The HS450i Model can come as a standard two pallet machine with the 80 tool ATC ~ field expandable to either a 120 or 220 tool ATC and a six pallet system ~ all done in the field within two days.

CNC Systems provides AVEREX installations from single stand-alone machines in small job shops to a 75 machine installation at a large OEM. Additional industries include, but are not limited to, aircraft/aerospace, oil field, small arms, defense, medical, automotive and die mold.
