Overview

Mazak no longer shows the HCN-6800 in its current lineup; the machine it lists under that number today is the HCN-6800 NEO. What follows is drawn from the listed figures for the earlier model and is meant for someone assessing a used one. Those figures give a 630 mm (24.8 in) square pallet, 900 mm (35.4 in) of travel on each linear axis and a workpiece of 900 mm dia x 1,250 mm H (35.4 x 49.2 in) weighing up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).

The spindle is the first thing to pin down, because the table lists two. Standard is HSK-A100 at 8,000 RPM with 30 kW (40 hp) and 590 Nm (435 ft-lb), both at 25% ED. A 15,000 RPM spindle and an HSK-A63 interface appear as options. Which one a particular machine carries decides its tooling inventory and the work it suits: the HSK-A100 version is the one for heavy cuts in iron and steel. Neither rating is continuous.

Tool capacity is 60 tools as standard, with 120, 180 and 240 tools listed as options. Two pallets are standard and the table notes expansion through PALLETECH, so confirm how many pallets and which changer a used machine comes with. B-axis indexing is in 1-degree increments unless the optional 0.001-degree CNC table is fitted.

Rapid traverse is listed at 50 m/min (1,969 ipm), machine weight at 24,000 kg (52,911 lb) and the control as MAZATROL SmoothAi. For reference, the HCN-6800 NEO has a CAT No.50 spindle at 10,000 rpm, 43 tools, travels of 41 in (1,041 mm) × 35 in (889 mm) × 39 in (991 mm) and rapids of 2,362 ipm (60 m/min), so holders and programs do not move between the two without work.
