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 GE580H puts an MAS BT50 spindle over a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet, a pairing aimed at heavy cuts on mid-sized parts. Travels are 800 mm (31.5 in) on each of X, Y and Z, maximum loading weight is 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs) and the spindle runs to 10,000 min-1.

The travels are large for the pallet. Each axis moves 800 mm (31.5 in) against a 500 mm (19.7 in) pallet side, which is 60% more travel than pallet. In practice fixtures can overhang the pallet, tall tombstones are usable, and long tools can still back away far enough to clear the work.

On a BT50 shank, 10,000 min-1 covers large face mills at low speed and smaller cutters in aluminium at the top of the range. The table lists no spindle power or torque, so the cutting capacity itself has to come from Enshu. The magazine holds 40 tools, and no larger magazine is listed.

Feed rates stand out. Rapid traverse is 60,000 mm/min (2362.2 in/min), and with AI contour control the cutting feed rate reaches 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min), so contouring moves can run close to rapid speed where the tool and material allow it.

Within the GE range the GE480H covers the same pallet size and 31.5″ travels with a BIG-PLUS® CAT 40 spindle at 15000 RPM and 1100 lbs of pallet capacity, while the GE590H steps up to a 630mm pallet and 2645 lbs.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

MAS BT50 spindle running to 10,000 min-1
800 mm (31.5 in) of travel on X, Y and Z, 60% more than the 500 mm (19.7 in) pallet side
800 kg (1,763.7 lbs) maximum loading weight
Cutting feed rate up to 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min) with AI contour control
60,000 mm/min (2362.2 in/min) rapid traverse

Limitations

No spindle power or torque figure is listed, so roughing capacity cannot be read from the table
The magazine holds 40 tools and no larger option appears in the table
The 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min) cutting feed applies with AI contour control
Pallet is 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in); the GE590H is the model with a 630mm pallet

Best For

Steel and cast iron parts up to 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs) including fixture BT50 face milling and boring on a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet Tall tombstones and overhanging fixtures within 800 mm (31.5 in) travels Contoured surfaces cut at high feed with AI contour control

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the GE580H use?

An MAS BT50 spindle with a maximum speed of 10,000 min-1. Enshu's table lists no power or torque figure for it, so ask for the motor rating and torque curve before judging whether it suits a particular roughing operation.

02 How large and heavy can a workpiece be on the GE580H?

The pallet is 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) and the maximum loading weight is 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs), which includes the fixture. X, Y and Z each travel 800 mm (31.5 in), so the axes reach well past the pallet edges. The table does not list a maximum workpiece diameter or height, so confirm the swing clearance for tall or wide setups.

03 What is the difference between the GE580H and the GE480H?

Both have a 500 mm class pallet and 31.5 in of travel on each axis. The GE580H is the BT50 machine: 10,000 min-1 and 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs) of loading weight. The GE480H is listed with a BIG-PLUS® CAT 40 taper, 15000 RPM, 50 HP and 1100 lbs of pallet capacity, so it is the lighter and faster of the two.

04 How fast are the feeds on the GE580H?

Rapid traverse is 60,000 mm/min (2362.2 in/min). The cutting feed rate is listed up to 50,000 mm/min (1,968.5 in/min), with the note that this applies with AI contour control. Whether a given cut can use that rate depends on the tool, the material and the path.

05 How many tools does the GE580H carry?

40 tools, on MAS BT50 shanks. No optional magazine size is shown in the table. Since 50-size tools are heavy and wide, ask Enshu for the maximum tool diameter, length and weight, which are not listed.
