NHC-280 Series (11 inch Cutting Capacity)

11-Inch Capacity for Large Bar and Billet

The NHC-280 handles round stock to 11.02 inches and square material to 7.87 inches. A 60 HP saw motor and 35.83-inch blade give the machine the cutting package required for large ferrous cross sections used in forging, heavy equipment, energy, and other component-production environments.

A 35° Servo-Fed Axis Guides the Large Blade

Unlike the 45° arrangement used on several smaller NHC models, the NHC-280 uses a 35° slant cutting axis. An AC servo motor and ball screw control the feed, while blade speed ranges from 15 to 60 RPM. This combination gives the machine controlled engagement through stock approaching 280 mm in diameter.

Heavy Construction Supports Automatic Production

The Pat Mooney NHC-280 weighs approximately 37,479 pounds and uses hydraulic horizontal and vertical clamping to secure the material. A 17.72-inch single index handles automatic length positioning, while blade monitoring, chip brushing, and lubrication systems support the cutting process during extended production runs.
