Mazak HCN-5000 NEO

The Mazak HCN-5000 NEO puts a 20 in (508 mm) × 20 in (508 mm) pallet inside 29 in (737 mm) × 29 in (737 mm) × 32 in (813 mm) of travel. The largest workpiece is Ø32 in (813 mm) × 39 in (991 mm) and each pallet takes 1,102 lb (500 kg) evenly distributed. Mazak lists the model with a 2 pallet changer and, on its series page, describes an NC rotary table as standard equipment for the HCN NEO machines.

Against the smaller model of the series, the difference is mostly capacity. The HCN-4000 NEO has a 16 in (406 mm) × 16 in (406 mm) pallet, 22 in (559 mm) × 25 in (635 mm) × 25 in (635 mm) travels and weighs 23,743 lb (10,770 kg), against 26,786 lb (12,150 kg) here.

The spindle in Mazak's table is CAT No.40 at 12,000 rpm: 18.5 kW (25 HP) at 40% ED, 15 kW (20 HP) continuous, 81.9 Nm (60 ft-lb) at 40% ED and 60 Nm (44 ft-lb) continuous. These are the figures of the standard specification on the HCN NEO series page. That page lists options beside it, among them a 15,000 rpm high-torque spindle with 46 kW (62 HP) at 40% ED, 37 kW (50 HP) continuous and 200 N·m at 40% ED, an 18,000 rpm spindle with 35 kW (47 HP) at 40% ED and 84 N·m at 40% ED, and a 20,000 rpm spindle with 42 kW (56 HP) at 40% ED and 161 N·m at 40% ED. The page does not tie each option to a model, so confirm availability for this one. With 1,102 lb (500 kg) on the pallet and 60 Nm (44 ft-lb) of continuous torque, the standard machine is set up for light-alloy and iron work more than for heavy steel roughing.

The magazine holds 40 tools up to 20 in (508 mm) long. The spindle centre runs from 4 in (102 mm) to 33 in (838 mm) above the pallet, below the 39 in (991 mm) workpiece height, so the top of a full-height fixture cannot be reached from the side. Rapids are 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) on all three axes. Floor space with the MAZATROL SmoothG control is 103 in (2,616 mm) × 226 in (5,740 mm), height is 111 in (2,819 mm) and weight is 26,786 lb (12,150 kg).
