High-Speed Machining of Small and Mid-Sized Aluminum Components-
Mazak
Mazak offers the HCR-5000 hori- zontal machining center (HMC). The 5-axis machine provides efficient, high-speed machining of small and mid-sized aluminum components.
“Designed to provide the aerospace and semiconductor/high-tech indus- tries and others with numerous tech- nological innovations, the HCR-5000 offers, in addition to 5-axis machining, a range of high-speed spindle options, from a standard 12,000 RPM spindle up to a 30,000 RPM version, each of which feature an integral spindle/ motor and core cooling that minimize thermal growth for higher accuracy,” said a company spokesperson. The machine’s auto tool changer (ATC) features a standard 40-tool magazine with options for 80, 120 or 160 tools.
Mazak also offers the HCR-5000 with a two-pallet changer or the company’s Multi-Pallet Pool (MPP) automation solutions. The machine also easily integrates into a Mazak PALLETECH Automation System. With two-pallet changing, shops can load/unload parts on one pallet while the HCR-5000 continues to work un- interrupted on the other pallet.
As an expandable system, the MPP offers optimal flexibility by allow- ing shops to initially incorporate the stocker with a few pallets and grow the system as production needs change.
Offering full automation and pro- duction flexibility, Mazak’s PAL- LETECH is engineered to bring high levels of efficiency to high-mix, low- volume production as well as high- volume operations. Fully compatible with the company’s range of HMCs- including the HCR-5000-and multi- tasking machines, the PALLETECH is available in single, double and triple level pallet stocker configurations. PALLETECH easily expands along with a shop’s growing business, with a

range of options that can accommodate up to 16 machines with 240 pallets and eight loading stations.
The HCR-5000 is equipped with Mazak’s MAZATROL SmoothX CNC
that provides operators complete con- trol of the machine. SmoothX enables 3D part program visualizations via its touchscreen to further improve ease of use in terms of programming and program checking.
