The VEDON HMC1000 is a horizontal machining center (HMC) with CNC control, double pallet positions, and available with either a Fanuc 0i MF or Siemens 828D control system. HMCs are designed for efficient and precise machining of parts, often in medium to high-volume production. The double pallet system further enhances productivity.

• Horizontal Spindle Orientation: The horizontal spindle orientation is a key characteristic of HMCs. It offers several advantages:

  • Improved Chip Evacuation: Chips fall away from the workpiece, preventing recutting and improving surface finish.

  • Greater Rigidity: The horizontal configuration generally provides greater structural rigidity, allowing for heavier cuts and better accuracy.

  • Multiple-Sided Machining: Workpieces can often be machined on multiple sides in a single setup, reducing setup time and improving accuracy.

• Double Pallet System: This system allows for loading and unloading of one pallet while the machine is cutting on the other. This significantly reduces downtime and increases machine utilization, boosting productivity.

• CNC Control (Fanuc 0i MF / Siemens 828D): CNC control enables automated, precise, and repeatable machining operations. Both Fanuc and Siemens are reputable control system manufacturers, but they have different user interfaces and programming styles. Choosing between them often depends on operator familiarity and preference.

• High Precision: HMCs are designed for high accuracy and repeatability.

• Automatic Tool Changer (ATC): An ATC allows the machine to automatically switch between different cutting tools, reducing setup time and enabling complex machining operations. Confirm the tool capacity with the manufacturer.

• Robust Construction: HMCs are built with a robust frame and components to withstand the stresses of heavy cutting and maintain accuracy over time.

• Coolant System: A coolant system helps dissipate heat and improve cutting performance.
