CNC WEST August/September 2018 www.CNC-West.com 93 IMTS 2018 Preview September 10-14 2018 Compact Tongtai High Speed Horizontal Machin- ing Center —Booth# S-338536 The new SH-5000P horizontal machining center from Tongtai was developed for mass production line formation. The new compact machine has a 35% smaller footprint than the previous model at only 90” wide. The machine is a XY traveling column type design where the pallet moves in Z. The APC is a rotary type pallet changer and it exchanges the pallets in only 7 seconds. For pallet rotation in the machining envelope, a full contouring “B” axis precisely indexes the pallet every .001 degree and a hydraulic clamping mechanism is used to clamp the pallet in place. The B axis is high speed, with 90-degree index time of 0.76 seconds. It features an ultra rigid Meehanite cast iron frame with an advanced 3 point leveling system. The 1.57” diameter ballscrews are class 3 with a double nut pre-loaded and pre- tensioned design allowing a rapid traverse rate of 2362 inches per minute. High-speed acceleration reduces non- cut time (X,Y,Z acc/dec of up to 1.0G). TheABS (Absolute Pulse Coder) servo system does not require zero return. At the heart of the machine is a high power integral spindle with 15,000 RPM and spindle acceleration from 0-7000 in just 0.48 seconds and 0-15000 in only 1.9 seconds. Decelera- tion from 12000 RPM to stop is only .8 seconds. The spindle produces 50HP peak (10 min. rating), 35 HP in high and 25HP in low while producing 184 ft./lbs. of peak torque at only 980 RPM. It has a standard 60-station automatic tool changer. Tool change time is only 1.4 seconds tool to tool. Average chip to chip time is 3.0 seconds. The Fanuc OiM-F conversational control is standard.
