Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Enshu. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Enshu GE40H is a horizontal machining center with an MAS BT40 spindle running to 12,000 min-1 and 500 mm of travel on X, Y and Z. The Y row reads 500 mm + 200 mm (ATC stroke): the extra 200 mm is tool-change stroke, so plan parts around 500 mm of Y and not around the sum of the two figures.

Enshu gives the table work area as Ø400 mm (15.7 in) with Ø320 mm (12.6 in) in brackets, and the maximum loading weight in the same way, as 650 kg (1,433 lb) with 450 kg (992 lb) in brackets. The table does not say what separates the two cases. Find out which table a given machine has before designing a fixture, because a 450 kg limit leaves far less for parts once a tombstone is on.

Rapid traverse is 60,000 mm/min and the cutting feed rate goes up to 15,000 mm/min. The magazine holds 24 tools as standard and 30 as an option. IoT connectivity is listed as standard, which matters to plants that collect machine status centrally, though the table does not describe the interface.

Against the GE30H, which shares the 500 mm (19.7 in) travels and the 60,000 mm/min (2,362.2 in/min) rapid rate, the GE40H is the 40-taper choice without a speed penalty: the GE30H reaches 13,000 min-1 on BT30 but only 8,000 min-1 with its BT40 option, while the GE40H runs BT40 at 12,000 min-1. The JE50S is close on paper too, with BT40, 12,000 min-1, 24 tools and 650 kg (1,433 lbs), and it adds a listed 15 kW (20 hp) spindle and a 15,000 min-1 option. The GE40H table gives no spindle power.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

MAS BT40 spindle at 12,000 min-1, where the BT40 option of the GE30H is limited to 8,000 min-1
60,000 mm/min rapid traverse over 500 mm axes
24 tools as standard, with a 30-tool magazine as an option
IoT connectivity is listed as standard
Maximum loading weight of up to 650 kg (1,433 lb)

Limitations

No spindle power or torque figure is listed
The loading weight row gives 650 kg with 450 kg in brackets and does not explain the lower figure; confirm which applies before sizing a fixture
The 200 mm added to Y is ATC stroke, not cutting travel
Cutting feed rate tops out at 15,000 mm/min against a 60,000 mm/min rapid rate
The 30-tool magazine is an option; 24 tools is the standard count

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does 500 mm + 200 mm (ATC stroke) mean for Y travel on the GE40H?

The Y axis has 500 mm of working travel. The additional 200 mm is listed as ATC stroke, which is movement the axis makes to reach the tool change position. It should not be counted as machining range, so size parts and fixtures for 500 mm of Y.

02 What table sizes and loads does Enshu list for the GE40H?

The table work area row reads Ø400 mm (15.7 in) with Ø320 mm (12.6 in) in brackets. The loading weight row reads 650 kg (1,433 lb) with 450 kg (992 lb) in brackets. The table does not explain the bracketed case, so confirm with Enshu which pair applies to the machine being quoted.

03 How does the GE40H differ from the GE30H?

Spindle. The GE40H is MAS BT40 at 12,000 min-1. The GE30H is MAS BT30 as standard at 13,000 min-1, with BT40 as an option at 8,000 min-1. Both have 500 mm of X and Z travel, 60,000 mm/min rapids and 24 tools as standard; the GE40H adds a 30-tool option and lists up to 650 kg against 500 kg (1,102.3 lbs) for the GE30H.

04 How many tools does the GE40H hold?

24 tools as standard and 30 tools with the optional magazine. The shank is MAS BT40. No maximum tool diameter, length or weight is listed, so check those limits if the job uses large face mills or long boring bars.

05 Is network connectivity included on the GE40H?

IoT connectivity is listed as standard. The table gives no detail on protocols or software, so ask Enshu what data the machine exposes and how it connects to the monitoring system already in the plant.
