Horizontal CNC Machining Center 0.008mm Precision and Productivity Boost

Product Overview

Engineered for high-precision machining of small to medium-sized components, the 1200x1000mm Machining Center balances compact design with robust performance—ideal for industries demanding micron-level accuracy. Its mineral cast base (30% more damping than cast iron) and integrated cooling channels minimize vibration, while high-speed axis drives ensure rapid, precise motion. This machine excels in medical devices, electronics, and automotive parts manufacturing, where consistency and efficiency are critical. With a footprint of just 4.5m x 3.2m, it optimizes shop floor space without compromising capability.

Features

Precision Machining

Delivers positioning accuracy of ±0.008mm and repeatability of ±0.004mm across the full worktable, meeting the demands of components requiring micron-level tolerances (e.g., ±0.005mm for medical implants).

High-Speed Performance

The BT40 spindle reaches 8000rpm with 11-15kW power and 45N·m torque, supported by high-speed roller linear guides (acceleration up to 1G) for rapid traversal speeds of 36m/min in X/Y axes.

Versatile Workspace

The 1200x1000mm table (with 5-18mm T-slots) handles workpieces up to 800kg, while the 600mm Z-axis stroke accommodates tall components like sensor housings. An optional dividing head extends capability for angular machining.

Automated Tool Changer

The 24-tool ATC (double-arm design) completes tool changes in 2.5 seconds with ±0.002mm repeatability, reducing non-cutting time for batch production of 500+ parts.

1. Energy Equipment Industry

Processing Objects: Gas turbine casings, planetary frames in wind power equipment, gearbox housings, valve bodies of large pumps and valves, hydraulic cylinders, etc.

Core Advantages: Eliminates cumulative errors caused by multiple re-clamping, ensuring positional accuracy between processing surfaces (e.g., coaxiality and perpendicularity of hole systems). This is critical for the sealing performance and reliability of energy equipment.

2. Heavy machinery and construction machinery

Processing objects: Drive axle housings, transmission housings, large track sprockets, rotary bearings, boom connection components for excavators, etc. Horizontal machining centres can utilise accessories such as angle heads to easily process internal deep cavities and hard-to-reach side features. Its horizontal layout allows chips to naturally fall off under gravity, preventing chip accumulation from damaging the workpiece surface and tools, making it particularly suitable for deep hole machining of heavy castings.

Core Advantages: Efficient chip removal ensures stable unattended machining over extended periods, while high rigidity maintains high precision even under heavy cutting conditions.

3. General Precision Components and Mould Industry

Processing Objects: Bases, plate-type parts, fixtures, mould frames, medium-sized injection moulds, and die-casting moulds in automated equipment.

Such production typically follows a multi-variety, small-batch production model, requiring high flexibility from the equipment. This specification of horizontal machining centre is an ideal choice for flexible manufacturing cells (FMC) or flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). When combined with a pallet exchange system, workpieces can be clamped outside the machine and processed inside, significantly reducing machine downtime and improving efficiency.

Core Advantages: Exceptional flexibility and automation capabilities, highly suitable for continuous operation, meeting the demands of modern smart manufacturing.

4.Aerospace and Rail Transportation

Processing Objects: Engine casings, suspension components, landing gear structural parts for aircraft engines; gearbox housings and braking system components for high-speed trains, etc. These parts are mostly made from expensive aluminium alloy or titanium alloy forgings, with high material removal rates and extremely stringent requirements for processing accuracy and surface quality.

The multi-faceted processing capabilities of horizontal machining centres are highly suitable for processing aerospace aluminium alloy parts with complex spatial structures, minimising clamping operations and enhancing overall manufacturing accuracy. For difficult-to-machine materials like titanium alloys, their stable structure and excellent heat dissipation properties are unmatched by vertical machine tools.

Core advantage: Maintains exceptional machining precision and surface integrity while ensuring extremely high material removal rates.

5. Automotive Industry

Processing objects: Engine blocks, transmission housings, motor housings for new energy vehicles, battery boxes, etc. Although the automotive industry extensively uses specialised production lines, horizontal machining centres are indispensable in prototype production, small-batch production, or the manufacturing of complex parts (such as aluminium alloy housings for new energy vehicle models). The 1200×1000 mm specification is highly suitable for the production of the aforementioned critical automotive components, enabling the establishment of small-scale flexible production lines to rapidly respond to model changes.

Core Advantage: High production flexibility, capable of quickly switching between producing different part models to adapt to market changes.
