2011 Mazak HCN-5000-II CNC Horizontal Machining Center

The Mazak HCN-5000-II is a twin-pallet CNC horizontal machining center with the rigid, production-focused reputation that has made Mazak horizontals a staple in high-volume job shops and contract manufacturing environments. This 2011 unit offers X, Y, and Z travels of 28.74 in x 28.74 in x 31.50 in over two 500mm x 500mm pallets with 1-degree indexing, accommodating workpieces up to 31.50 in diameter by 39.37 in height. Power comes from a 40 HP, 12,000 RPM spindle running CAT-40 tooling, served by an 80-tool automatic tool changer for complex, multi-operation parts with minimal operator intervention. Rapid traverse rates of 2,362 ipm keep non-cut time low, while the Mazatrol Matrix control delivers conversational and EIA/ISO programming that shop programmers already know. The machine is equipped with a chip conveyor and probing to support high-throughput horizontal machining.

As the Nexus-generation successor to Mazak's original HCN-5000, this HCN-5000-II is a meaningful step up from the earlier machine and its Mazatrol Fusion 640M control. The II generation moved to the faster, more intuitive Mazatrol Matrix CNC, improving program handling, tool management, and shop-floor usability over the prior Fusion control. Combined with a 12,000 RPM CAT-40 spindle and an 80-tool magazine, it delivers broader tooling capacity and higher productive spindle speeds than earlier HCN and legacy FH-series horizontals, translating into faster cycle times and the ability to hold tolerance across longer unattended runs. For a buyer weighing a used horizontal, the HCN-5000-II brings current-generation control technology and twin-pallet throughput in a field-proven Mazak platform.
