Japan Triple H40 horizontal machining
center with a column traverse structure.
One of the most unique design fea-
tures of the Triple H40 is its ability to
support flexible mounting of various
fixtures and rotary tables based on the
application. The stationary table design
enables long workpieces to be clamped
firmly to the table, eliminating the
back and forth action of moving parts
with special guarding and allowing
machining access to either ends of long
workpieces.
The Kiwa Triple H40 has a very
compact machining area of 43.3” x
23.6” x 31.5. The work table stays sta-
tionary and the X/Y/ZAxis ball-screws
and roller guides are behind the X/Y
Axis way covers.
The Z-Axis moves back and forth
on the column, which Methods reports
assures higher rigidity of the spindle
than quill type spindles. In addition, the
long-nosed spindle has six bearings for
increased stability. Pallet size is 32.3”
x 17.7” with a maximum work height
of 31.1” and a maximum workload of
2,200 lbs. Exceptionally efficient chip
evacuation is possible as a result of the
minimized machining area due to the
moving column structure and a large
opening in the bed.
The Triple H40 also features a
new armless Automatic Tool Changer
(ATC), mounted on the top of the ma-
chine to save space, which allows the
spindle to directly change tools with
the magazine. This is available in a 20
or 40 tool system.
“The Triple H40 is perfect for larger
fixturing and supports good access for
automation,” said Mr. Bernie Otto,
Kiwa product manager for Methods
Machine Tools, Inc. “The machine is
also ideal for parts that are long and
need work done on the ends.”
