The HU100-5X series machining centers delivers 2000 ft-lb (2711 N•m) of torque with a 10" (254-mm) face mill and would be well- suited for faster metal removal machining forged pump housings.


chrome moly steels, 4140 steel casting for housings, as well as 17/4 stainless steel, high nickel alloys, and some ductile iron castings. We’re just getting set up on a new job, a ductile iron casting, which is for a large mud pump. We also machine parts for offshore seismic work, as well as some drilling rig parts.” Specialty applications handled on the Kitamura HX- 630i HMCs include precision machining of a housing part for a parabolic dish for a tracking device. Another specialty part is used on a drilling mechanism that is used on a drill rig for dig- ging bridge pilings used in the construction industry.


Heavy-Duty Machining for Large Energy Workpieces Methods Machine Tools Inc. (Sudbury, MA) offers a range of machines including the new Feeler SBM-2000 universal milling machine, featuring extensive design and engineer- ing by Methods to meet the oil-fi eld industry requirement for highly accurate machining of large heavy-duty parts comprised of exotic materials. The SBM-2000 features an articulated head and integrated fourth axis, eliminating the need for multiple setups and operations.
