Horizontal Machining Centers

FF

Horizontal machining centers for machining mass-produced parts

High cutting capacity and fast operation for high productivity
Machine structure that facilitates the construction of a mass production parts machining lines
Space-saving design for mass production parts machining
High reliability and maintainability

Tool shank (standard)

Exceptional cutting ability for machining a wide variety of materials

Suitable for machining a wide variety of materials

The rigid machine structure allows machining of not only aluminum, but also iron and cast iron.

Built-in Motor Spindle

A built-in motor is adopted for the main spindle. The synergistic effect of a spindle that generates sufficient torque and a rigid mechanical structure provides excellent cutting performance.

Reduced non-cutting time thanks to high speed operation

High speed acceleration/deceleration spindle

This machine is equipped with a built-in motor spindle. Power loss is minimized and high-speed acceleration/deceleration is realized since drive gears are not used.

Spindle acceleration
1.4 sec (0→12000 rpm)

High-speed, high-acceleration/deceleration feed Z-axis (Ram structure)

The Z-axis, with high speed and high acceleration/deceleration, improves productivity in drilling operations such as tapping and drilling.

Rapid traverse rate
2441 IPM

Acceleration
1.5G（FF-n5000/40、FF-5000/40）
1.2G （FF-5000/50）

High Speed NC Table

The NC table is driven by a roller gear cam to achieve high-speed rotation and positioning.

Max. speed: 50 rpm

High-speed positioning: 1.5 sec/90 degrees

Space-saving and easy to build automated lines

Distance between machines 25.59"

Space saving is realized by the compact yet highly rigid structure and the placement of the magazine on top of the machine.

Increased productivity per unit area
Easy to build a line for mass production parts machining

Various specifications and automations to suit your production system

Select the best table for your needs.

Three types are available for machining with optimum workpiece positioning: B-axis table specification, A-axis table specification (optional), and A-axis/B-axis table specification (optional).

	B-axis table	A-axis table (optional)	A-axis/B axis table (optional)
Table Specifications
Rapid traverse rate	50 rpm	16 rpm	50 rpm
Table indexing time (90°)	1.5 sec	2.0 sec	A-axis: 1.6 seconds / B-axis: 1.5 seconds

Building the Optimal Automation Line

This is a dedicated production line for automotive parts with 18 units of FF-5000/40 and 3 double arm gantry loaders.

Automated line with loader robot

Automated production line with 20 units of FF-5000/40 and 5 articulated robots.

Machine configuration for high reliability and maintainability

X-, Y-, Z-axis drive

The machine configuration with fixed table allows the X-, Y- and Z-axis drive to be located outside the cutting area. High reliability is achieved by reducing susceptibility to chips and cutting water.

X-, Y-axis way cover

Accordion-type way covers provide high reliability and high durability for high speed operation.

Spindle tool clamp

4,000,000 times long life disc spring

Excellent durability disc spring is adopted in the spindle tool clamping section. It enables stable parts machining even in mass-production parts machining where tool changeover frequency is extremely high.
