2005 Mazak PFH-4800 CNC Horizontal Machining Center w/ 6 Station Pallet Changer

The Mazak PFH-4800 is a 4-axis horizontal machining center with a reputation for high-throughput prismatic production that has made it a fixture in job shops and manufacturing environments running complex multi-face parts. This 2005 machine features a 12,000 RPM CAT 40 spindle paired with a 120-tool automatic tool changer, providing the tooling depth needed to run high-mix part families without operator-driven tool changeovers between setups. The 6-pallet automatic pallet changer — with 5 pallets actively staged for incoming operations — keeps spindle uptime at its peak by allowing operators to load and unload workpieces outside the machine envelope while production continues, a setup-reduction advantage that compounds shift over shift. The B-axis rotary table indexes in 1-degree increments for 4-axis flexibility across a broad range of part geometries, and the machine is equipped with Renishaw probing and an integrated laser tool setter for in-process measurement and automatic tool length compensation.

Buyers comparing the Mazak PFH-4800 to its predecessor, the Mazak FH-4800, will find meaningful platform-level improvements that justify the generational step. The PFH series redesigned and expanded the automated pallet handling architecture, supporting larger and more capable pallet cell configurations than the earlier FH-4800 allowed. The 120-tool ATC on the PFH-4800 far exceeds the standard tool magazine of the original FH-4800, enabling operators to maintain full tooling libraries for multiple part families without teardown between jobs. Combined with improved structural rigidity and a more capable control architecture, the PFH-4800 is a meaningfully better machine than the FH-4800 in every dimension that matters on the shop floor — more automation, more tooling flexibility, and higher sustained throughput — at a used price that reflects its age, not its capability.
