APEC HS700 5-AXIS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Description

The APEC HS-700 is a high-precision 5-axis machining center engineered for advanced contouring, complex surface processing, and heavy-duty multi-face machining. Built with a rigid structural framework and equipped with high-speed roller-type linear guideways, the HS-700 delivers exceptional stability and accuracy across demanding applications. Its travel capacity—710 mm on the X-axis, 910 mm on the Y-axis, and 810 mm on the Z-axis—supports machining of large and intricate workpieces, while the A/C rotary table offers extended angular flexibility with an A-axis range of -90° to +135° and continuous 360° rotation on the C-axis for full 5-axis maneuverability. A Ø650 mm tilting rotary table enables a maximum processing diameter of Ø700 mm and a table load capacity of 350 kg, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of workpiece sizes.

The machine integrates a powerful HSK100A spindle capable of reaching 15,000 rpm with 45/54 kW (S1/S6) power and up to 143 Nm torque, making it suitable for both aggressive material removal and fine finishing cuts. Precision is reinforced by Heidenhain optical linear and circular scales, providing positioning accuracy of 0.010 mm and repeatability of 0.008 mm across all axes. Automated tool handling is supported through an HSK100A tool magazine with a standard 60-tool capacity, expandable to 120 tools. The HS-700 further enhances productivity with automated kinematics calibration, BLUM laser tool measurement, and workpiece probing systems, ensuring consistent machining quality and reduced setup time. Comprehensive thermal control—including spindle chiller, spindle thermal compensation, and an air-conditioned electrical cabinet—maintains optimal performance during prolonged operation.
