Horizontal Milling and Boring Machine: A Precision Machining Solution for Large-Capacity Workpieces
DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Integrated Horizontal Machining Solution for Large-Scale Industrial Components
In heavy manufacturing, metal fabrication, and mechanical engineering industries, machining large-scale workpieces demands exceptional structural rigidity, stability, and precision. The Horizontal Milling and Boring Machine is a comprehensive industrial machining solution specifically engineered to handle heavy-duty milling, precision boring, and surface facing operations on large, heavy workpieces within a single integrated setup.
Core Functions and Machining Capabilities This machine combines horizontal boring and milling operations utilizing a robust 110 mm diameter main spindle equipped with an MT6 spindle taper to withstand high cutting forces. Supported by an integrated facing head on configurations featuring a tool holder radial travel of up to 180 mm, the machine executes accurate flat surface facing alongside deep axial boring. With a spindle axial travel (stroke) ranging from 400 mm to 600 mm, it provides optimal reach for deep-hole machining across complex structural components.
Industrial Applications and Use Cases Built with a massive, vibration-damping structure—with overall machine weights ranging from 9,000 kg, 13,000 kg, 14,500 kg, up to 18,000 kg—this machine ensures stability during heavy metal removal. Its capabilities make it ideal for:
- Heavy Equipment and Automotive Manufacturing: Machining engine blocks, gearbox housings, and heavy chassis or frame components.
- Industrial Machinery and Energy Fabrication: Processing pump casings, turbine components, large industrial valves, and heavy steel structures.
- Engineering Workshops, Mold, and Die Making: Machining large metal molds and precision parts requiring extensive multi-axis travel.
Production Efficiency and Operational Benefits
Integrating the Horizontal Milling and Boring Machine into your production line delivers measurable improvements in machining cycle times and operational efficiency:
- High-Capacity Worktable: Available in table dimensions of 1100 x 900 mm, 1100 x 960 mm, and up to 1250 x 1100 mm, capable of supporting maximum workpiece loads from 2,500 kg up to 3,000 kg.
- Extensive Multi-Axis Travel: Offers wide worktable travel ranges (X/Z axis or longitudinal and transverse travel) up to 1600 x 1400 mm and vertical headstock travel from 900 mm to 1200 mm, significantly reducing the need for workpiece repositioning.
- High-Speed Rapid Travel and Stepless Feed: Equipped with rapid travel speeds of 2,000 mm/min to 2,500 mm/min to reduce non-cutting time. On configurations featuring stepless longitudinal and transverse table feed speeds (6 to 160 mm/min), operators can smoothly adjust feed rates to match specific material requirements.
- Versatile Speed and Power Configurations: Offered with 5.5 kW to 7.5 kW main spindle motor power, spindle speed ranges of 8 to 1000 rpm or 20 to 450 rpm (9 steps), and facing head speeds of 4 to 200 rpm to accommodate both heavy roughing and precision finishing.
Key Technical Advantages
- Heavy-Duty Spindle Design: The 110 mm spindle diameter paired with an MT6 taper ensures superior rigidity during demanding boring and milling tasks.
- Precision T-Slot Worktable: Features 7 T-slots with a 22 mm width, enabling secure clamping of oversized workpieces and custom fixtures.
- Dedicated Axis Drive Motors: Available in configurations equipped with dedicated longitudinal/transverse motors (2.2 kW) and headstock lifting/lowering motors (1.5 kW) for consistent power transmission across all axes.
- Special Attachment Support: Can be configured with special attachments such as an outboard support column (tailstock) to maintain boring bar alignment when machining long workpieces.
