Fundamental in the creation of parts with complex geometries, the horizontal machining centre, also known as HMC, is an evolution of milling machines and drilling machines. Compared to these tools, the machinery we will deal with in this article significantly reduces downtime in machining processes. Laxmi has the best used horizontal machining centres, which, together with vertical ones (VMC), offer a wide range of automated machining operations. The HMCs are particularly used in series production, as they ensure low oscillation and make chip removal from machined components quicker and easier.
Productivity assured
The horizontal machining centre features a spindle mounted parallel to the ground floor and uses rotary cutters, similar to small circular saws, to remove excesses from a workpiece. Thanks to the Computerized Numerical Control (CNC), these machines allow high automation, with the possibility of machining workpieces in succession in a single clamping or using several tools in parallel. In addition to the spindle, the horizontal machining centres are equipped with:
- axis, between 3 and 5, capable of applying different machining techniques;
- tool changer, which performs several machining operations in parallel and sets up an automated cutting head switch;
- tool warehouse, in varying sizes;
- chip conveyor, to eliminate excess material and speed up production.
Furthermore, an HMC must be evaluated according to other criteria, such as weight, travel length and carrying capacity of the table on which the metal part is machined. Laxmi’s used horizontal machining centres still ensure many years of use, as they are solid tools designed for high frequency work.
Solidity at the service of precision
Often used to process prismatic workpieces and to shape flat surfaces, horizontal machining centres are used in the machining of geometric parts, useful, for example, in the production of motor vehicles. Among the HMCs, the most popular models are the Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) ones, which guarantee a high level of automation and precision in machining the workpiece. We can offer our customers the best CNCs, such as Fanuc, Siemens 840, Num 760 and Fagor just to mention the most common ones.
A high technological standard requires equally high preparation. In order to use horizontal machining centres in a profitable and safe way, in fact, it is necessary that employees are trained to program the machine properly and are able to intervene in case of sudden problems.
