1996 Mazak HTC-400 CNC Horizontal Machining Center with 2-Pallet Changer

The Mazak HTC-400 is a compact horizontal machining center built for simple, dependable operation in job shops and production cells. This 1996 Mazak HTC-400 CNC horizontal machining center, assembled at Mazak's Florence, Kentucky facility, offers X / Y / Z travels of 22 x 20 x 20 inches and a two-pallet automatic pallet changer with 400 mm (15.75 x 15.75 inch) pallets, allowing one pallet to be loaded while the other is in the machining area. The CAT 40 taper spindle is rated for 10,000 RPM with a 15 HP spindle motor, supported by a 24-tool automatic tool changer. The machine is controlled by the Mazatrol M Plus CNC, which gives operators Mazak's shop-floor conversational Mazatrol programming, and it is equipped with a Jorgensen chip conveyor for chip removal.

What sets the HTC-400 apart from a single-table horizontal or a vertical machining center is its two-pallet automatic pallet changer, which is designed to let operators load and fixture the next part on one 400 mm pallet while the other is in the machining area, and to reach multiple faces of a part in a single setup. Paired with the Mazatrol M Plus conversational control, which lets operators program parts directly at the machine, the HTC-400 gives a shop a straightforward, practical path into horizontal production.
