The MCD1816 is a heavy-duty HMC that provides high-speed, high-quality FF machining of heavy dies/molds and large parts. High-accuracy 0.0001-degree indexing table boosts machining efficiency for shorter delivery times. A highly rigid, long-nose spindle enhances machining performance to provide deep-end milling and heavy-duty cutting. The table indexes at 0.0001-degree resolution and can support loads up to 8 tons. The standard configuration includes absolute position detection in all axes and multiple spiral chip conveyors that efficiently remove large volumes of chips and coolant. The front door and ceiling of the completely enclosed splash guard open fully for easier setups of large workpieces. Well suited for FF machining and gun drilling.
