High-rigidity machine construction for stable machining performance

High-rigidity bed

The high-rigidity X-, Z-axis roller guide ensures stability during X- and Z-axis travel.

X-axis slanted design

The mounting surfaces of the X-axis linear guide rails are at different heights to ensure high rigidity and lower total weight. High-speed, high-precision positioning is achieved by driving close to the center of gravity.

Linear roller guides utilized on all axes

The HCN series uses linear roller guides on the X-, Y- and Z-axis for high accuracy and heavy-duty machining.

Rapid traverse rate, maximum feedrate 60 m/min (X, Y, Z axis)

Cone coupling

The pallet and table are clamped by cone couplings to ensure high rigidity and high repeatable positioning accuracy when changing pallets.

Automated system best suited for multi-product processing

PALLETECH SYSTEM (Option)

The modular design of the PALLETECH conveniently allows more machines and increased pallet storage capacity to be added to the system after the initial installation in response to changing production requirements. The pallet stocker is available with one, two and three levels for large pallet storage capacity with small floor space requirements.

Pallet Changer

For higher productivity, set up the next workpiece during machining of the current workpiece.

6-pallet changer (Option)

Set up multiple workpieces for automatic operation over extended periods of time.

MPP (MULTI PALLET POOL) (Option)

  • * |Compatible with HCN-4000 NEO and HCN-5000 NEO

Maximum of 16 pallets can be stored in the pallet stocker. It will help automating the process with minimal space.

Hydraulic fixtures for higher productivity

Hydraulic power supply A (supply from machine top) (Option)

Hydraulic hoses supply hydraulic power from the top part of the pallet changer to fixtures mounted on each pallet.
Maximum of 12 ports can be arranged. High-power hydraulic supply with 21 MPa is available.

Hydraulic power supply B (supply through pallet) (Option)

A leak-free coupling system supplies hydraulic power to the supply port on the bottom of the pallet. Unlike hydraulic power supply from machine top, this system requires no hydraulic hose or hydraulic rotary coupling. This minimizes interference for easy fixture design and workpiece machining. High-power hydraulic supply with 21 MPa is available.

Loading station: Maximum of 8 ports 
Inside machine: Maximum of 4 ports

Robot System (Option)

Interface for connecting an external robot for workpiece loading / unloading to / from automatic hydraulic fixtures is optionally available.

Improved environmental performance with energy-saving equipment

Energy Saver

Energy consumption and the regenerative power produced through the energy saving equipment can be viewed visually on the CNC system to stimulate awareness of energy conservation. In addition, the system can control coolant and other equipment based on the cutting amount to reduce power consumption.
* An optional Smooth coolant system is required for the control of coolant and other equipment.

temp

Environmentally friendly Smooth coolant system*

Optimal control of coolant discharge amount

Energy saver automatically determines the optimal coolant discharge for energy-saving machining. Processing with reduced power consumption is possible at all times.

* Option

Coolant discharge amount 1: Face milling 2: End milling 3: Drilling

Energy-saving coolant system with sludge removal performance

No need to frequently clean the tank

The coolant tank has a coolant jet that makes a vortex in the center so that small machined chips will not settle in the tank. This feature makes it possible to keep the coolant tank clean and extend the service life of the coolant. Ease of maintenance is also ensured. The frequency of coolant changes is reduced as well as CO₂ emissions at coolant disposal.
