Horizontal Machining Centre HMC-1000L

The HMC-1000L is a heavy-duty horizontal machining centre for extra-large box-type parts. Its inverted T-shaped fully moving column and double-column closed-frame structure are reinforced with built-in annular ribs for maximum rigidity. An 18.5/22 kW BT50 spindle runs at 6000 rpm with stepless speed regulation, and the high-pressure gas counterweight holds the spindle head steady under heavy off-center loads. The 1000 x 1000 mm indexing table supports an ultra-heavy 3000 kg load and a 2000 mm swing diameter; X/Y/Z travels reach 1600/1000/1000 mm. Spindle end face to table center spans 200-1200 mm, enabling deep-hole boring and stepped-hole work on giant boxes. Positioning accuracy of 0.014 mm and repeatability of 0.006 mm keep four-side multi-process integration accurate across long production runs, and the 30T disc magazine changes tools in 3.5 seconds. At this table and swing size the HMC-1000L sits between a standard 630 mm HMC and a true gantry, which makes it the practical choice for plants that machine large housings but cannot justify the footprint and cost of a double-column mill.

An HMC at this load class is not a standard catalog item. Ningbo Jinkai's horizontal machining centre line is developed in-house, drawing on Taiwanese, Japanese and German machine-tool technology absorbed over decades. Because design, machining and assembly all happen under our own ERP system, we can tailor the column, spindle head and pallet system to a customer's heaviest housings and support them with an after-sales team of more than 10 years of CNC machine-tool experience. That engineering ownership is what lets a 20-ton horizontal machining centre ship with confidence, and why customers do not have to bridge between a design house, a machine shop and an integrator. For heavy HMC buyers, a single accountable factory also means the 10-year service team already knows the column geometry and spindle counterbalance logic when they answer a support call.

The 3000 kg table and 2000 mm swing cover large gearboxes, turbine casings and machine tool beds.

Long Z stroke and spindle end reach handle bores that smaller HMCs cannot access.

One clamping replaces multiple setups, reducing alignment error on high-value components.
