The Horizontal Machining Center (HMCs) is a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining centre with a horizontally positioned spindle. The term ‘horizontal’ is defined by a spindle mounted horizontally (parallel to the floor) and a workpiece fixed to a rotary table, allowing multi-directional machining. This feature provides the additional benefit of automatically managing chip disposal.
Horizontal machining centers (HMCs) offer many advantages over vertical machining centers (VMCs). First of all,Horizontal spindles allow for natural chip removal, maintaining a cleaner workspace and reducing downtime. Secondly, many HMCs feature dual pallet changers that allow continuous machining on one pallet while the other is loaded or unloaded, increasing efficiency. Also better suited to complex workloads, the spindle is parallel to the table, which is quite different from the vertical orientation in VMCs. HMCs can achieve output levels up to three times higher than VMCs. So most manufacturers and mold batch processors choose horizontal machining centers to increase productivity.
The main function of horizontal machining centers (HMCs) is to machine parts accurately and efficiently using a horizontal spindle orientation, which makes a range of milling, drilling and tapping operations possible. So what are the unique advantages of a horizontal design? There are the following:
1) Chip Removal
2)Multi-side machining
3)Heavy Duty Performance
4)Continuous Operation
In order to discuss the structural classification of horizontal machining centres, it is necessary to consider a number of different scenarios.
1)Basic structure：A typical horizontal machining centre has 3 to 5 axes of motion, with the standard model comprising three linear axes of motion and one rotary axis of motion, which constitutes the basic structure.
2)Headstock: Suspended or side-suspended.
3)Columns：namely fixed and moving columns.
4)Axis：positive T-type and inverted T-type. Additionally, the Z-axis can be further classified into three subcategories: Z-axis table feed, Z-axis column feed, and Z-axis press feed.
Horizontal Machining Centers:
Three Automatic chip conveyorsTwn screw the conveyors move the chins from inside.
The machine goes to the outside chain tone convener during working, and the outside chip conveyor transfers the chips to the chips tank. Cleaning the chins is smooth and efficient, reducing machine man body heat and avoiding machine body heat distortion.

WMTCNC Strong Rigidity High productivity Horizontal Machining Center HMC630
1)The machine body’s main structure, ‘┻’ shape, and column-moving structure have been designed to afford high rigidity and travel speed.
2) The standard machine features an oil cooling system for the spindle house, which helps to reduce heat distortion during operation and maintain consistent machining accuracy.
3)The BT50 24-position arm-type tool magazine is manufactured by a professional tool manufacturer in Taiwan.
4)All ball screws are fitted with standard Japanese and German brand bearings.
5)We are proud to present our top Taiwanese brand ball screw and linear guideway.
6)The system comprises three automatic chip conveyors and two screw-type conveyors, which transport the chips from the machine’s interior to an exterior chain-type conveyor during operation. The exterior chip conveyor then transfers the chips to a chip tank. The entire process is conducted smoothly and highly efficiently, ensuring the clean removal of chips and the reduction of machine body heat. This approach also helps to prevent any distortion caused by machine body heat.
High-precision, high-efficiency machining benefits make HMCs the choice of more customers
First, machining accuracy and efficiency are significantly improved by reducing setup time and supporting multi-station machining.Second, the system is highly automated, making it suitable for “unattended” production.
