Newcastle based rail maintenance equipment manufacturer Melvelle Equipment Corp has invested a Mazak HCN-5000/50 combined with a 16 pallet Mazak Multi Pallet Pool.
The world-class Mazak HCN 5000/50 horizontal machining center combines advanced technology and outstanding value with high performance and high productivity for achieving high-volume large heavy part operations.
The Mazak HCN-5000/50 delivers high speed machining of multiple workpieces mounted on large multiple surface fixtures in a two pallet changer.
The HCN-5000/50 offers a spacious enclosure and worktable as well as a high rapid feed speed and a special integral spindle designed to minimize vibration and heat generation, especially when operating at maximum torque. This provides fast and efficient versatile machining and exceptional material removal capacity for a wide range of materials, from steels to non-ferrous metals.
The spindle is a powerful 10,000rpm, 50 taper 37kW spindle with 60m/min high speed rapid traverse rates, reducing non cutting time to increase productivity.
The Mazak HCN-5000/50 has a 500 mm × 500 mm pallet size. The maximum workpiece size is Φ800 mm × 1000 mm without pallet, and the maximum load is 700kg without pallet.
For even further increased output, Melvelle has added the highest capacity Mazak Multi Pallet Pool to their Mazak HCN-5000/50, upgrading from the standard 10-pallet stocker to 16 pallets.
Mazak’s Multi-Pallet Pool, a compact multiple pallet stocker system is ideal for manufacturers that require automation to increase productivity but have limited floor space.
