Mazak offers the HCR-5000 horizontal machining center (HMC). The 5-axis machine provides efficient, high-speed machining of small and mid-sized aluminum components and allows for several automation options for increased output.
"Designed to provide the aerospace and semiconductor/high-tech industries and others with numerous technological innovations, the HCR-5000 offers, in addition to 5-axis machining, a range of high-speed spindle options, from a standard 12,000 RPM spindle up to a 30,000 RPM version, each of which feature an integral spindle/motor and core cooling that minimize thermal growth for higher accuracy," said a company spokesperson. The machine's auto tool changer (ATC) features a standard 40-tool magazine with options for 80, 120 or 160 tools to fit individual shops' needs.
For lights-out operation and to help shops cope with shortages of skilled labor, Mazak offers the HCR-5000 with a two-pallet changer or the company's Multi-Pallet Pool (MPP) automation solutions. The machine also easily integrates into a Mazak PALLETECH Automation System.
With two-pallet changing, shops can load/unload parts on one pallet while the HCR-5000 continues to work uninterrupted on the other pallet. For shops requiring basic automation and have limited floor space, Mazak's MPP System is a compact multiple pallet stocker system that takes up less room than a horizontal pallet stocker. As an expandable system, the MPP offers optimal flexibility by allowing shops to initially incorporate the stocker with a few pallets and grow the system as production needs change.
Offering full automation and production flexibility, Mazak's PALLETECH is engineered to bring high levels of efficiency to high-mix, low-volume production as well as high-volume operations. Fully compatible with the company's range of HMCs-including the HCR-5000-and multitasking machines, the PALLETECH is available in single, double and triple level pallet stocker configurations. Because of its modular, pre-engineered construction, PALLETECH easily expands along with a shop's growing business, with a range of options that can accommodate up to 16 machines with 240 pallets and eight loading stations.
The HCR-5000 is equipped with Mazak's MAZATROL SmoothX CNC that provides operators complete control of the machine. SmoothX enables 3D part program visualizations via its touchscreen to further improve ease of use in terms of programming and program checking. Cycle times are reduced between 10% and 20% and surface finishes are improved with the control's SMOOTH machining configuration options such as Seamless Corner Control, Active Vibration Control and Variable Acceleration.
