Horizontal Machining Center
The a40 horizontal machining center is purpose-designed and built to address the challenges of nonferrous die-cast parts production. The a40 has a responsive #40 spindle that accelerates to 12,000 rpm in 0.5 seconds. It can quickly complete common tapping operations with the 6000-rpm Rigid tapping synchro- nization speed. In addition it can minimize feature-to- feature positioning
time with a linear axis that reaches full rapid traverse rates 18% faster than typical competitors. It also has inertia active control that evaluates fixture and tool weights to optimize ac- celeration performance of multiple machine systems. Makino
