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-4000 NEO is a two-pallet horizontal machining center built around a 16 in (406 mm) × 16 in (406 mm) pallet. Each pallet carries 881 lb (400 kg) evenly distributed and swings a workpiece of Ø25 in (635 mm) × 35 in (889 mm), inside travels of 22 in (559 mm) on X and 25 in (635 mm) on Y and Z. The spindle centre works from 3 in (76 mm) to 28 in (711 mm) off the pallet, so the top of a full 35 in (889 mm) part clears the machine but is beyond what the spindle can reach.

Read the spindle rows with care. Mazak's table for this model shows a CAT No.40 spindle with a maximum of 18,000 rpm, 18.5 kW (25 HP) at 40% ED and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous, with torque of 81.9 Nm (60 ft-lb) at 40% ED and 60 Nm (44 ft-lb) continuous. On Mazak's HCN NEO series page those same power and torque figures belong to the 12,000 rpm standard specification, and the 18,000 rpm spindle is an option rated 35 kW (47 HP) at 40% ED, 26 kW (35 HP) continuous and 84 N·m at 40% ED. Have the quotation state the speed and the ratings together.

The series page lists further spindle options without saying which models take them: a 15,000 rpm high-torque version at 37 kW (50 HP) continuous and 200 N·m at 40% ED, a 20,000 rpm version at 26 kW (35 HP) continuous and 161 N·m at 40% ED, and a 25,000 rpm version at 15 kW (20 HP) continuous and 22 N·m at 40% ED. Mazak also describes an NC rotary table as standard equipment in the HCN NEO series.

Tooling is a 40-tool magazine with limits of Ø4 in (102 mm), or Ø7 in (178 mm) beside empty pockets, 17 in (432 mm) in length and 26 lb (12 kg). Rapids are 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) on every axis. The machine needs 94 in (2,388 mm) × 214 in (5,436 mm) of floor with the MAZATROL SmoothG control, is 107 in (2,718 mm) high and weighs 23,743 lb (10,770 kg).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Pallet data is stated outright: 16 in (406 mm) × 16 in (406 mm), 881 lb (400 kg) evenly distributed, workpieces to Ø25 in (635 mm) × 35 in (889 mm)
Mazak describes an NC rotary table as standard equipment in the HCN NEO series
The table lists a maximum spindle speed of 18,000 rpm, against 12,000 rpm on the HCN-4000 with the same travels
Spindle options on the series page run to 25,000 rpm, or to 200 N·m at 40% ED on the 15,000 rpm high-torque version
2,362 ipm (60 m/min) rapid traverse on X, Y and Z

Limitations

The 881 lb (400 kg) pallet load has to cover the tombstone, the fixtures and the parts together
Continuous torque in the table is 60 Nm (44 ft-lb); heavy roughing in steel calls for one of the optional spindles
The table's 18,000 rpm stands beside power figures that the series page gives to the 12,000 rpm standard spindle, so the spindle on offer has to be confirmed
The spindle centre reaches 28 in (711 mm) from the pallet, short of the 35 in (889 mm) maximum workpiece height

Best For

Tombstone work on a 16 in (406 mm) × 16 in (406 mm) pallet within 881 lb (400 kg) High-speed machining of aluminium parts with small tools, at up to 18,000 rpm as listed Parts that fit a Ø25 in (635 mm) swing and 25 in (635 mm) of Y and Z travel Indexed and rotary work using the NC rotary table that is standard in the series

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the pallet size and load of the HCN-4000 NEO?

The pallet is 16 in (406 mm) × 16 in (406 mm) and carries 881 lb (400 kg) evenly distributed. Maximum workpiece size is Ø25 in (635 mm) × 35 in (889 mm). Mazak lists the machine with a 2 pallet changer.

02 Which spindle does the HCN-4000 NEO have?

Mazak's table for the model lists CAT No.40, 18,000 rpm maximum, 18.5 kW (25 HP) at 40% ED and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous, with 81.9 Nm (60 ft-lb) at 40% ED and 60 Nm (44 ft-lb) continuous. The series page gives those power and torque figures to a 12,000 rpm standard specification and rates the 18,000 rpm option at 35 kW (47 HP) at 40% ED and 26 kW (35 HP) continuous, so confirm which spindle is quoted.

03 What is the difference between the HCN-4000 NEO and the HCN-4000?

Travels are the same, 22 in (559 mm) × 25 in (635 mm) × 25 in (635 mm), as are the 40-tool magazine and the 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) rapids. The HCN-4000 table shows 12,000 rpm and a weight of 23,633 lb (10,720 kg). The HCN-4000 NEO table shows 18,000 rpm and 23,743 lb (10,770 kg), and belongs to the series in which an NC rotary table is standard equipment.

04 How tall a part can the HCN-4000 NEO machine?

The maximum workpiece is Ø25 in (635 mm) × 35 in (889 mm), but Y travel is 25 in (635 mm) and the spindle centre moves between 3 in (76 mm) and 28 in (711 mm) from the pallet. Features above that height cannot be reached by a horizontal tool, so plan fixture height around the spindle range, not the workpiece limit.

05 What are the tool limits on the HCN-4000 NEO?

The magazine holds 40 tools. Each can be up to Ø4 in (102 mm) in diameter, or Ø7 in (178 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty, up to 17 in (432 mm) long and up to 26 lb (12 kg).
