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 JE50S is a narrow horizontal machining center: the machine is 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wide, yet it accepts a workpiece of Ø630 x 870 mm (Ø24.8 in x 34.3 in) weighing up to 650 kg (1,433 lbs). Travels are 500 mm (19.6 in) on X, Y and Z. The MAS BT40 spindle is rated 15 kW (20 hp) and runs to 12,000 min-1, with 15,000 min-1 as an option.

Width is the figure that sets this model apart. At 1,440 mm (56.7 in), machines can stand close together along a line, which is the usual reason to choose a slim horizontal for a production cell. The table type is listed as a fixed table, with a work area of Ø400 mm (Ø15.7 in). No pallet changer appears in the table, so loading takes place in the work zone, by hand, gantry or robot.

The permitted workpiece is larger than the travels: Ø630 mm against 500 mm of X, and 870 mm in height against 500 mm of Y. The spindle cannot reach all of such a part in one clamping, so the big envelope is about clearance for fixtures and swing, not about machining every surface of a part that size.

Rapid traverse is 60,000 mm/min (2,362.2 in/min) and cutting feed reaches 15,000 mm/min (590.5 in/min). The magazine holds 24 tools, which fits a machine dedicated to one operation better than one that has to finish a whole part alone. Against the GE40H, which has matching 500 mm travels, BT40 at 12,000 min-1 and 24 tools as standard, the JE50S states its spindle power and offers the 15,000 min-1 spindle, while the GE40H offers a 30-tool magazine option.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Machine width of only 1,440 mm (56.7 in) for dense line layouts
15 kW (20 hp) MAS BT40 spindle at 12,000 min-1, with a 15,000 min-1 option
Accepts workpieces up to Ø630 x 870 mm (Ø24.8 in x 34.3 in) and 650 kg (1,433 lbs)
60,000 mm/min (2,362.2 in/min) rapid traverse on 500 mm (19.6 in) axes

Limitations

Fixed table: no pallet changer is listed, so the spindle waits while parts are loaded
24-tool magazine with no larger option in the table
The 15,000 min-1 spindle is an option; 12,000 min-1 is standard
Travels of 500 mm (19.6 in) are smaller than the Ø630 x 870 mm maximum workpiece, so a part that size cannot be reached everywhere in one clamping

Best For

Production lines and cells where a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) machine width saves floor space Dedicated single-operation machining with up to 24 tools Robot or gantry loaded work on a fixed table BT40 milling, drilling and tapping at 12,000 min-1 or the optional 15,000 min-1

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How wide is the JE50S?

The machine width is 1,440 mm (56.7 in). That dimension decides how many machines fit along a line, and it is the main reason to look at this model. The table lists no depth, height or weight, so get the full installation drawing before planning the floor.

02 What size workpiece can the JE50S take?

The maximum loading capacity is Ø630 x 870 mm (Ø24.8 in x 34.3 in) and the maximum loading weight is 650 kg (1,433 lbs). The table work area is Ø400 mm (Ø15.7 in). Axis travels are 500 mm (19.6 in) each, so the machinable zone is smaller than the largest part that physically fits.

03 Does the JE50S have a pallet changer?

The table type is listed as fixed table and no pallet changer appears in the specification. Parts are therefore loaded and unloaded at the machining position, which suits automated loading or longer-running parts more than short cycles with manual loading.

04 What spindle options are there on the JE50S?

The standard spindle is MAS BT40, 15 kW (20 hp), with a maximum of 12,000 min-1. A 15,000 min-1 spindle is listed as an option. The table does not say whether the 15 kW (20 hp) rating also applies to the faster spindle, so confirm that when asking for the option.

05 How does the JE50S compare with the GE30H?

Both have a Ø400 mm table work area, 24 tools and a 60,000 mm/min (2,362.2 in/min) rapid rate. The GE30H is BT30 as standard at 13,000 min-1 with 11 kW (15 hp) and carries 500 kg (1,102.3 lbs). The JE50S is BT40 at 12,000 min-1 with 15 kW (20 hp) and carries 650 kg (1,433 lbs).
