Technical Features & Design

Machine Structure

Machine Structure

X, Y, Z three-axis adopts ultra-wide guide rails, which have excellent rigidity, vibration absorption (suppressing vibration generated when cutting tools) and damping (preventing vibration when the guide system is started or stopped). Suitable for machine tools with heavy cutting loading. Y axes are supported by 4 guide rails, which has stronger carrying capacity. X and Y axis are linear guideway. Z axis is box / linear guideway.

Spindle Unit

Spindle Unit

Taiwan brand short nose BT50-190mm spindle, standard is belt drive 8000rpm. Features a 15/18.5Kw large power motor with high torque of 143Nm. Ultralight spindle headstock and Z axis with counter balance block design.

Manual Scrape

Manual Scrape

Manual scraping is meticulously used on the main joint surfaces to ensure an effective contact area, enhancing precision retention and assembly quality.

Axes Driving

Axes Driving

The 3 axes servo motors are directly connected to the high-precision ball screw via a gapless elastic coupling to ensure transmission accuracy. All servo motors are equipped with absolute encoders to increase efficiency and reliability. The three-axis screw is pre-stretched to eliminate the influence of screw temperature rise on machining accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the primary applications of the HMC500 horizontal machining center?
The HMC500 is widely used in automotive, aerospace, mold-making, and general machining. It is ideal for milling, drilling, complex components (like engine parts and gearbox housings), and die/mold production.
What type of guideways and structure does the machine feature?
The HMC500 uses ultra-wide guide rails on the X, Y, and Z axes for rigidity and vibration damping. The Y axis is supported by 4 guide rails, while the X/Y axes use linear guideways, and the Z axis is designed with a box or linear guideway system.
What are the standard spindle specifications of the HMC500?
It features a high-torque Taiwan BT50 short-nose spindle (190mm) with belt drive reaching up to 6000 RPM (or 8000 RPM depending on the model), powered by a 15/18.5Kw motor producing 143Nm of torque.
How does the machine prevent thermal inaccuracy on the axis screws?
The three-axis high-precision ball screw system is pre-stretched during assembly. This process eliminates any physical expansion caused by screw temperature rise, ensuring machining accuracy over long production cycles.
Does the machine support automatic pallet changing?
Yes, the HMC500P and HMC630P models come equipped with a double-pallet system with a fast turn-type replacement structure, achieving a pallet exchange time of just 35 seconds.
What measures are taken to ensure the assembly quality?
Manual scraping is applied to all key joint surfaces to optimize the contact interface. In addition, quality control is conducted in constant-temperature inspection rooms using high-end tools such as laser interferometers and coordinate measuring machines.
