How much does the HNK HIB-12 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the HNK HIB-12 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The HNK HIB-12 is the smallest of the HIB high-speed horizontal boring and milling machines, a series HNK says is designed for high speed boring and milling in the die and mold industry. The spindle range is 50 to 12,000 rpm, several times the ceiling of HNK's conventional HB boring mills, and travels are 1,600 mm (63.0 in) in X, 1,500 mm (59.1 in) in Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in Z.
HNK's description gives the two features behind that speed. The 12,000 rpm spindle is standard, and the axes run on linear motion guides, with feed up to 12,000 mm/min (472 ipm). On a mold cavity or a die insert that combination matters more than raw power: small ball-nose cutters need the rpm, and long finishing passes need the feed.
A boring mill layout brings something a vertical mold machine lacks. The W-axis quill extends 400 mm (15.7 in), so a deep pocket or a side core can be reached with a short tool, and chips fall away from a vertical face instead of collecting in the cavity.
The rotary table is 1,150 x 1,250 mm (45.3 x 49.2 in) and carries 5,000 kg (11,023 lb), with 0.001° indexing and pin location at every 90 position. Spindle diameter is printed as Ø200, with no unit. Fanuc 31i-B and Siemens 840D are the controls listed; no motor power is given.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Speed. HNK equips the HIB series with a standard 12,000 rpm spindle and linear motion guides and quotes feed up to 12,000 mm/min (472 ipm). Its HB-110, a conventional boring mill with the same 1,150 x 1,250 mm (45.3 x 49.2 in) table, runs 5 to 3,000 rpm.
02
X (table longitudinal) 1,600 mm (63.0 in), Y (spindle vertical) 1,500 mm (59.1 in), Z (column cross) 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and W (spindle axial) 400 mm (15.7 in).
03
04
HNK's table for the HIB series has no taper row and no motor power row. It gives a spindle diameter of Ø200 and a speed range of 50 to 12,000 rpm. Ask the maker for the tool interface before planning tooling.
