Overview
The MCD2018 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center (HMC) designed for high-speed, high-accuracy FF machining of heavy dies, molds and large parts. It combines a long-nose, highly rigid spindle with a precision indexing table to enable deep-end milling, gun drilling and heavy cutting operations.

Key points

• Long-nose rigid spindle for improved deep-end milling and heavy cutting.
• High-accuracy indexing table with 0.0001° resolution; table supports loads up to 8,000 kg (12,000 kg optional).
• Absolute position detection on all axes for repeatability and reduced setup time.
• Multiple spiral chip conveyors and efficient coolant handling for large chip volumes.
• Fully enclosed splash guard with front door and ceiling that open fully to simplify setups of large workpieces.
• Standard spindle 6,000 rpm (options: 4K, 8K, 15K, 18K); ATC capacity standard 30 (options up to 399).
• Rapid traverse and cutting feed up to 16,000 mm/min; tool-to-tool time approx. 18 s.

Applications and recommended operations

• Face/frame (FF) machining of heavy dies and molds.
• Deep-end milling and heavy-duty cutting of large components.
• Gun drilling and other deep-hole operations where spindle reach and rigidity are critical.
