Go Horizontal in a Big way with HMCs, HBMs



Since its inception in 1999, Vision Wide has grown to three factories with over 500,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space. Vision Wide is a builder of double column bridge machines (3-, 4-, 5- and now 6-axis solutions) as well as specialized products for machining composites and carbon fiber, and also offers a variety metalcutting/chipmaking solutions.

"Vision Wide is now providing the USA market with highly affordable horizontal machining centers (HMCs) and horizontal boring mills (HBMs)," said a company spokesperson.

The HMCs have two series:

  • The VHM-50, 63, 80, 100, 1250, 1416 and 1822 come with a two-pallet changer and an optional six-station pallet pool.
  • The VHT-80, 100, 1250, 1416 and 1822 all come with single tables that are designed for larger capacity parts.

Some features of the HMC series:

  • With various high-torque and high-speed spindles, it is widely used in the valve, turret, crankcase, precision mold and differential machining.
  • With dual workstations APC and six-pallet change APC system, it enhances the machine's utilization and realizes fully automatic processing.
  • Cutting speed is 1~10,000 mm/min
  • Capable of high-performance machining via high feed design and multitable capability.

The HBMs have three sizes: The VBT-110, VBT-130 and VBT-150 come with a single table design and the optional two-pallet changer. Totally enclosed guarding, high pressure coolant and the ability to use a U-axis boring head make the Vision Wide HBMs a good solution for large part requirements.

Some features of the HBM series:

  • The VBT-110, VBT-130 and VBT-150 series are equipped with high precision and high power horizontal boring and milling performance.
  • The large worktable meets the machining applications of energy, shipbuilding, large structural parts, construction machinery, diesel engine body, etc.
  • The enclosed box ram and the gearbox are one-piece castings that improve the rigidity and stability of the Z- and W-axis and enhance cutting ability and precision.
  • The extended travels in X-, Y-, Z- and W-axis handle a variety of part sizes.

"Vision Wide builds over 15 different models of high quality, but affordable, machine tools-and with the support of its USA importer CNC Systems, Inc. and its network of full servicing distributors-we are glad to work as your partner to help find solutions for making your parts," said the spokesperson.
