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

Overview

The Mazak HCN Series is a range of horizontal machining centers that the listed figures run from the HCN-4000 up to the HCN-12800. Mazak's current lineup does not show the range under this name, so this page may describe an older generation. Its figures are listed figures, and they should be confirmed from the documents of any machine on offer.

Eight models are listed: HCN-4000, HCN-5000, HCN-5000S, HCN-5000/50, HCN-6000, HCN-8800, HCN-10800 and HCN-12800. The spindle taper divides them. CAT 40 or HSK-F63 is listed for the 4000 and 5000 sizes, and CAT 50 for the HCN-5000/50, the HCN-6000 and everything from the HCN-8800 up. Spindle speed is listed from 6,000 to 30,000 RPM depending on model and spindle option, so the range covers both heavy 50-taper work and high-speed light cutting, though not in the same machine.

At the small end the figures can be tied down. The HCN-4000 has its own table: 22 in (559 mm) of X travel, 25 in (635 mm) of Y and Z, a 12,000 rpm spindle rated 15 kW (20 HP) continuous and 40 tools. Rapid traverse is listed at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on the smaller models and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on the larger ones. Tool capacity is listed at 40 to 120 tools standard, with up to 330 as an option.

The listed construction is a reinforced bed, a slanted X-axis, linear roller guides and a cone coupling pallet clamp, with table indexing in 0.001-degree minimum increments. For the largest models the listed rows do not agree with each other on axis travel or pallet size, so take those from the machine's own documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which models are listed in the Mazak HCN Series?

Eight: HCN-4000, HCN-5000, HCN-5000S, HCN-5000/50, HCN-6000, HCN-8800, HCN-10800 and HCN-12800. The listed pallet sizes start at 400x400 mm, and the listed motor power starts at 15 kW (20 hp). A 30 kW (40 HP) continuous rating is listed for the HCN-10800 and a 56 kW (75 HP) rating at 40% ED for the HCN-12800.

02 What spindle tapers does the HCN Series use?

The listed figures give CAT 40 or HSK-F63 for the 4000 and 5000 sizes and CAT 50 for the HCN-5000/50, the HCN-6000 and the models from the HCN-8800 up. Spindle speed is listed from 6,000 to 30,000 RPM depending on model and spindle option, so check which spindle a particular machine was built with.

03 How fast are the rapids on the HCN Series?

Rapid traverse is listed at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on the smaller models and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on the larger ones. The model table for the HCN-4000 agrees with the first figure, giving 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) on X, Y and Z.

04 Is the HCN Series a current Mazak range?

Mazak's current lineup does not show an HCN Series under this name, so this page may describe an older generation. Individual models have their own tables. The HCN-4000, for example, is listed with 22 in (559 mm) of X travel, 25 in (635 mm) of Y and Z travel, 12,000 rpm and 40 tools.
