Two 4-axis and two 5-axis HMC 1600's will modernize track-and-beam line at Boeing Portland. New T-Rex high-torque spindle demonstrates triple metal removal over current process.

High-torque cutting performance with hard aerospace alloys has produced an order for four MAG large-part HMC 1600's to modernize the track-and-beam line at Boeing's Portland center for complex machining. Equipped with MAG's new T-Rex high-torque spindle, the HMC 1600 performed spectacularly in a cutting test highlighting its 2600 Nm (1918 lb-ft) torque and 42.3 kN (9,500 lb) cutting thrust. Combined with a chassis of ductile and cast-iron components, the T-Rex-equipped HMC 1600 delivers the stiffness and vibration damping needed for heavy, chatter-free cuts on titanium 5553, Inconel and Carpenter 465, commonly used by Boeing.

Spindle's 2600 Nm torque combines with HMC's 42.3 kN cutting thrust to triple metal removal in Carpenter 465

MAG's new high-torque T-Rex spindle, available on four-axis HMC 1250/1600 machines, can deliver up to 2600 Nm (1,918 lb-ft) torque into a cut to produce extreme metal removal rates on large workpieces of hard materials, such as titanium, Inconel, and Carpenter 465. Developed for the machining needs of aerospace, energy and heavy equipment manufacturers, the T-Rex spindle is engineered with 130 mm (5.1 in) ID bearings to handle the 42.3 kN (9,500 lb) cutting thrust capability of the HMC 1250/1600 series horizontal machining centers. The T-Rex spindle is currently available on four-axis machines, configured with 80 kW (107.3 hp) driving power and two speed ranges up to 5,000 rpm.
