Overview

The Mazak HCN-4000 III is a horizontal machining center that Mazak does not show in its current lineup, so most people reading about it are weighing up a used machine. The listed figures describe a two-pallet machine with a 400 mm (15.7 in) square pallet and 560 mm (22.0 in) of travel on each of X, Y and Z.

The listed spindle is HSK-A63 at 15,000 RPM, with 22 kW (30 hp) and 120 Nm (89 ft-lb), both at 25% ED. Those are short-duty ratings and the table carries no continuous figure, so they are no basis for sizing a long roughing cut. Maximum workpiece is 500 mm dia x 800 mm H (19.7 x 31.5 in) at 300 kg (661 lb), which a tombstone with fixtures and parts can reach quickly.

Two items vary from machine to machine and need checking on the one in front of you. The B axis indexes in 1-degree increments as standard, with a 0.001-degree CNC table listed as an option; only the second allows angles between whole degrees. The magazine is 48 tools as standard, with 80, 120 or 160 tools listed as options. Rapid traverse is 60 m/min (2,362 ipm), machine weight is 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) and the listed control is MAZATROL SmoothAi.

Tooling does not carry over to the HCN-4000 in Mazak's lineup today, which is a CAT No.40 machine with a 12,000 rpm spindle, a 40-tool magazine and travels of 22 in (559 mm) × 25 in (635 mm) × 25 in (635 mm).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the Mazak HCN-4000 III still a current model?

02 What are the listed travels and pallet size of the HCN-4000 III?

The listed travels are 560 mm (22.0 in) on X, 560 mm (22.0 in) on Y and 560 mm (22.0 in) on Z. The pallet is 400 mm (15.7 in) square, and two pallets are standard. Maximum workpiece is 500 mm dia x 800 mm H (19.7 x 31.5 in) and 300 kg (661 lb).

03 What spindle is listed for the HCN-4000 III?

An HSK-A63 spindle with a maximum of 15,000 RPM. Listed power is 22 kW (30 hp) at 25% ED and listed torque is 120 Nm (89 ft-lb) at 25% ED. No continuous rating is given, so ask the seller for the spindle data plate or the original specification sheet.

04 What should a buyer verify on a used HCN-4000 III?
