Also known as milling, this process relies on rotary cutters to remove metal from a workpiece. Horizontal machining occurs on a horizontal machining center (HMC), which employs a spindle that is parallel to the ground floor. With a horizontally oriented spindle, tools stick out of the side of the tool holder and cut across the side of a workpiece, encouraging chips to fall away from the table. Horizontal machining centers also allow for two-pallet changer integration to facilitate unattended operation and reduce part cycle times. While the Mazak horizontals machining centers range in size and capacity, each one is designed with quality, reliability, ease of operation and safety in mind. Furthermore, thanks to their Production-On-Demand manufacturing philosophy, all of the horizontal machining centers incorporate the latest, most advanced milling technology to boost productivity and grow your business.
