Affordable Horizontal Machining Centre

HTC-400 is a simplified two-pallet machine offering fewer components and higher reliability. This machine is expected to appeal to companies wanting to step up from horizontal spindle machine. The HTC-400 is designed for quick installation and start-up, giving an immediate boost to production capacity at an affordable price. The advantages of horizontal spindle machines over vertical designs include better chip management with coolant flush. Further, the use of an indexing table allows access to multiple prismatic parts in one setup with a tomb-stone fixture. Palletized loading removes the load/unload time from the machining cycle and creates more spindle on-ti me. All of these factors contribute to higher efficiency and faster payback.
