High-Precision 5-Axis Horizontal Milling-Turning Machining Center

Mitsui Seiki USA will showcase the high-performance HU63A-5XT 5-axis HMC in booth 338700 South Building at IMTS 2026.

"Designed for next-generation aerospace manufacturing, this high-precision mill-turn system provides aerospace manufacturers with sophisticated accurate milling and turning capabilities for complete part processing from roughing to finishing in a single set-up, virtually ensuring that even the most complex components are machined to spec the first time around," said a company spokesperson. "This is especially important to shops manufacturing engine cases/housings where repeatability is essential to reducing the clamping errors that can lead to mismatched components and scrap."

The HU63A-5XT offers 900 mm X/Y/Z travels with simultaneous 5-axis machining capabilities and features a high-torque spindle delivering up to 1,081 Nm with +/-0.001 mm positioning accuracy.

Capable of machining hard-to-cut materials such as titanium, the HU63A-5XT features cutting feedrates between 0.1 mm to 10,000 mm/minute in the X, Y and Z axes. Rapid traverse rates in the X axis can reach 12,000 mm/minute, while the Y and Z axes travel up to 24,000 mm/minute. When combined with 2,160 degrees/minute for the A-axis and 3,600 degrees/minute for the B-axis, this mill-turn offers high precision at considerable speeds.

"When aerospace OEMs have many suppliers to choose from, a machining center such as the HU63A-5XT can give job shops the advantage in landing lucrative contracts," said the spokesperson. "Additionally, this fully automated machining center is equipped with 630 mm square pallets with automatic pallet changer and automatic tool changer as standard."

This machining center, including two APCs and chip conveyor, measures 5,700 mm x 4,700 mm x 3,450 mm with pallet height ranging from 1,500 mm (APC side) to 1,480 mm (M/C side). Powered by the FANUC Series 501 iS-A controller, which is designed to work with high-speed, complex multitasking machines such as this, the HU63A-5XT also performs drilling, boring, tapping, and reaming operations, offering shops a completely automated production operation in one machining solution.

Daniel Cleary, President and CEO, Mitsui Seiki USA, said: "The HU63A-5XT represents Mitsui Seiki's commitment to continuous innovation and delivering manufacturing solutions that keep our customers competitive in an increasingly demanding global market. By combining full 5-axis machining and turning capability in a single platform, manufacturers can complete complex components in one set-up, reducing variation, improving throughput, and achieving the precision required for today's most critical aerospace applications."

On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, Nathan Swartzbaugh, Director of Sales West, will discuss "Thoughtful Automation: High-Precision CNC Machining Processes Demand Extraordinary Reliability and Repeatability-Harnessing the Power of Data-Driven Analysis-and Perhaps AI-To Achieve The Perfect Part the First Time" from 9:00-9:55 AM in Room W192-A (West Building) at the show.
