The HCR Series of 5-axis Horizontal Machining Centers performs efficient, high-speed machining of small- and mid-sized aluminum components, making the machines ideal for industries such as aerospace and semi-conductor/high tech.

For high-accuracy performance, machines in this series feature solid base X-axis constructions, high rigidity beds and tilt/rotary tables where both the A and C axes use a roller gear cam system for 0.0001-degree increment positioning. HCR Series machines efficiently evacuate large amounts of machined chips to ensure excellent surface finishes and reduced downtime.

With several high-speed spindle options, HCR Series machines meet any productivity and workpiece material requirements. Plus, several automation options, including fast automatic tool changers and pallet changing options, minimize non-cut times to further improve productivity.
