Equipped with a 730 × 730 × 800mm stroke, a 12000 rpm BT40 spindle, and 40 tool magazines. As a versatile and universal device, it is highly suitable for processing automotive, 3C, and box components. High cost-effectiveness and maximum capacity per unit, please continue to review the parameters to evaluate the adaptability of the production line. Core parameters and practical production significanceWhen evaluating the procurement value of industrial equipment, parameters are not just cold data, they directly determine the production pace, process capability, and order range of the factory. This Mazak HCN-5000 L horizontal machining center, originally from Japan, demonstrates extremely high production flexibility in its core parameter configuration. 1. 730 × 730 × 800 mm three-axis travel and 800 × 1000 mm workpiece sizeThe X/Y/Z axis has a stroke of 730 × 730 × 800 mm, matched with a maximum workpiece accommodating size of 800 × 1000 mm, which means that the equipment can easily handle medium and large box parts. In actual production, the ample Z-axis travel (800 mm) allows factories to use longer sized tools for deep cavity machining, or install large four sided fixture towers (Tombstone) on a 500 × 500 mm workbench. By using a fixture tower for multi piece clamping, the time spent waiting for the spindle to stop and load/unload can be significantly reduced, greatly improving the output rate of a single shift. 2. Maximum speed of 12000 rpm and BT40 spindle taperThe spindle is the heart of the machining center. This device is equipped with a BT40 taper spindle, which can reach a maximum speed of 12000 rpm. The BT40 interface provides excellent dynamic response capability while ensuring sufficient cutting rigidity. The 12000 rpm high-speed spindle can achieve extremely high metal cutting rates and ensure excellent surface smoothness when processing aluminum alloy parts such as new energy vehicle motor housings and 3C electronic product housings, thereby reducing subsequent polishing processes. At the same time, it also has the ability to efficiently drill and mill materials such as medium carbon steel and alloy steel. 3. 40 knife magazine capacity (ATC)A tool magazine equipped with 40 tool positions is the key hardware foundation for realizing the concept of 'one machine at most'. For parts with complex processes, such as hydraulic valve bodies that involve multiple processes such as milling, drilling, tapping, and boring, a reserve of 40 cutting tools means that all machining steps can be completed in one clamping. Operators do not need to stop and manually replace tools during processing, which not only eliminates errors caused by manual tool changes, but also achieves true automated continuous production, making it an ideal configuration for improving unmanned night shift processing capabilities. Universal and versatile: mold matching and workpiece adaptationAs a versatile and versatile device, the original design intention of the second-hand Mazak HCN-5000 L is to adapt to the modern manufacturing needs of multiple varieties and variable batches. This equipment is currently available for sale as an immediate solution to quickly fill the production capacity gap in the following industries:Automotive parts processing: The maximum load-bearing capacity of the 500 kg workbench is perfectly adapted to aluminum alloy or cast iron die-casting parts such as automotive gearbox housings, engine cylinder blocks, water pump housings, etc. The chip removal advantage of horizontal machining centers is fully reflected in the processing of such deep cavity complex parts. The chips fall naturally under gravity, without scratching the surface of the workpiece or causing secondary cutting by the tool.Aerospace structural components and medical equipment: These types of workpieces typically have complex spatial angles and multi-faceted processing requirements. By utilizing the indexing function of the 500 × 500 mm worktable and the processing space of 800 × 1000 mm, high-precision milling of multiple surfaces can be completed in one clamping, ensuring the form and position tolerances between each surface.Mold manufacturing and 3C electronics: The 12000 rpm high-speed spindle performs well in the precision machining stage of molds or rapid prototyping of 3C aluminum parts. High speed combined with reasonable feed rate can effectively improve the surface quality of the mold cavity and shorten the delivery time. How do key parameters affect selectionWhen selecting equipment, it is not advisable to look at a single parameter in isolation, but rather to understand the synergistic effects between parameters. This Mazak HCN-5000 L has two sets of distance parameters that are crucial for the process layout:Distance from worktable surface to spindle end face: 70-870 mmDistance from the front end of the tray to the center of the spindle: 100-830 mmThese two sets of data define the "machining dead zone" and "maximum interference zone" of the machine tool. The minimum distance is only 70 mm and 100 mm, which means that when processing thin plate parts or using short edge cutting tools for high rigidity cutting, the spindle can be extremely close to the workpiece, avoiding vibration caused by excessive tool overhang (tool yielding phenomenon). When the maximum distance reaches 870 mm and 830 mm, it ensures that when a large workpiece or fixture with a rotation diameter of 800 mm is loaded on the worktable, there is sufficient safe space for the worktable to rotate or change tools after the spindle is retracted. This large-span adjustment ability is the core manifestation of its versatility. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Q: What size of mold or workpiece is suitable for the 730 × 730 × 800 mm stroke of Mazak HCN-5000 L?A: This itinerary is compatible with equipment parameters and can accommodate workpieces with a maximum size of 800 × 1000 mm. In practical applications, it is very suitable for cubic box parts with a side length of about 500mm, or for batch processing by installing four sided fixtures on a 500 × 500mm workbench and simultaneously clamping multiple small and medium-sized workpieces. Q: What does BT40 spindle with 12000 rpm speed mean when selecting?A: This configuration means that the device combines moderate cutting rigidity with high-speed precision machining capability. When selecting, it is particularly suitable for efficient cutting of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys and copper (such as 3C shells and lightweight automotive parts), and can achieve excellent surface smoothness; At the same time, it can also handle the conventional milling and drilling processes of steel parts, with strong versatility. Q: How to apply the maximum load-bearing capacity of a 500 kg workbench in actual production scheduling?A: The load-bearing limit of 500 kg includes the total weight of the workpiece itself and fixtures (such as fixture towers, pliers, etc.). When scheduling production, if processing aluminum alloy die-casting parts, they are usually lighter in weight and can make full use of space to install large multi station fixtures; If processing solid steel or cast iron parts, it is necessary to accurately calculate the total weight of the blank and fixture to ensure that it does not exceed 500 kg to protect the bearing accuracy of the rotary worktable. Q: Is this second-hand horizontal machining center currently in stock? How long after procurement can it be put into production?A: Yes, the device (stock number: 811790) is currently in stock and supports on-site inspection and testing at any time. After confirming the purchase and completing the relevant procedures, the goods can be shipped immediately. As it is a complete machine in stock, once it arrives at the factory and completes basic positioning and power on debugging, it can be quickly put into production line, which is an immediate solution to solve the current production capacity bottleneck.

By evaluating these core specifications against your tooling requirements, procurement managers and process engineers can see how this ready-to-ship EDM offers a cost-effective way to scale precision machining capabilities—bypassing the long lead times of new equipment. Core Specifications and What They Mean in Production Understanding the technical parameters of the Sodick ALN600QS is critical for determining its suitability for your specific part types and production volume. These mechanical specifications directly dictate the size of the tooling you can load, the complexity of the cuts you can achieve, and the overall efficiency of your machining process. Brand & Model Sodick ALN600QS X/Y/Z Axis Travel 600 × 400 × 350 mm U/V Axis Travel 150 × 150 mm Work Tank Inner Dimensions 1050 × 840 mm Maximum Wire Feed Speed 420 mm/s Max Workpiece Dimensions (Flushing) 800 × 570 × 340 mm Max Workpiece Dimensions (Submerged) 800 × 570 × 280 mm X/Y/Z Travel: 600 × 400 × 350 mm The primary travel dimensions determine the maximum continuous cutting area without repositioning the workpiece. The 600 mm X-axis combined with a 400 mm Y-axis provides a spacious work envelope ideal for mid-to-large progressive stamping dies or multi-part fixture setups. The 350 mm Z-axis travel accommodates tall workpieces and allows process engineers to stack multiple thinner plates for simultaneous cutting, increasing throughput per cycle. U/V Travel: 150 × 150 mm In Wire EDM, the U and V axes control the independent movement of the upper wire guide, enabling taper cutting. A 150 × 150 mm U/V travel is exceptionally large. On the shop floor, this means the machine can cut extreme draft angles and complex independent top-and-bottom profiles—such as extrusion dies or complex aerospace nozzles—that machines with standard U/V travels (typically 50–70 mm) simply cannot process. Work Tank Inner Dimensions: 1050 × 840 mm The work tank size dictates the absolute maximum physical footprint of the tooling or fixture block that can be loaded into the machine, regardless of the cutting area. At 1050 × 840 mm, this tank comfortably accommodates oversized mold bases or large clamping systems, giving operators ample clearance to properly secure the workpiece before initiating the cut. Mold matching and workpiece adaptation: versatile and universal machining solution As a versatile and universal equipment, the second-hand Shadick ALN600QS slow walking wire demonstrates extremely high cost-effectiveness in adapting to workpieces in different industries. Based on the dimensions of its processing slot (1050 × 840 mm), let's take a look at which specific scenarios it is suitable for:Automotive parts stamping molds: Automotive stamping molds are usually larger in volume. The maximum workpiece size of this equipment can reach 800 × 570 × 340 mm during jet machining, which can easily accommodate the progressive die template of automotive hardware and complete high-precision hole cutting.3C electronics and connector molds: The 3C industry requires extremely high surface smoothness and dimensional consistency. In immersion processing mode (maximum workpiece size 800 × 570 × 280 mm), the workpiece is completely immersed in the working fluid, with minimal thermal deformation, making it very suitable for processing mobile phone parts molds and precision connectors.Medical devices and aviation structural components: For medical device parts made of titanium alloy or special stainless steel materials, ALN600QS's stable discharge control combined with large taper machining capability can form complex geometric shapes in one go, reducing subsequent polishing processes. How do key parameters affect selection When purchasing equipment, it is not advisable to look at a single parameter in isolation. The parameter combination of Shadick ALN600QS provides you with a high input-output ratio selection logic:Processing slot size vs stroke utilization: A large processing slot of 1050 × 840mm, combined with an actual cutting stroke of 600 × 400mm, means that there is sufficient space around for installing various non-standard fixtures or rotating tables. If the types of workpieces in your factory are complex and often require the use of special fixtures, this "large groove with medium to large stroke" design can greatly reduce the difficulty of clamping.The height difference between jet and immersion processing (340mm vs 280mm): When selecting, special attention should be paid. If the height of your workpiece is between 280mm and 340mm, the equipment can only use jet processing. Jet machining has fast processing speed but high requirements for flushing pressure; If the height of the workpiece is within 280mm, immersion processing can be used to achieve the best constant temperature high-precision cutting effect. This parameter difference directly affects your process scheduling for ultra thick workpieces. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. What size of mold can be processed with the 600 × 400 × 350mm stroke of Shadick ALN600QS slow wire?Although the cutting stroke is 600 × 400 × 350mm, the machining slot size of this equipment reaches 1050 × 840mm. This means that you can place the maximum 800 × 570mm mold plate into the slot for local cutting. As long as the actual hole range that needs to be cut is within 600 × 400mm, the equipment can be perfectly adapted. 2. How to consider the difference in maximum workpiece height between jet machining and immersion machining (340mm and 280mm) when selecting?Immersion processing (maximum height 280mm) completely submerges the workpiece in water, with excellent thermal stability, suitable for precision molds with extremely high requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface roughness. If your workpiece height is between 280mm and 340mm, only jet machining can be used. Although it can cut through, the water pressure flushing effect and thermal stability will be slightly inferior to immersion mode. When selecting, it is necessary to evaluate based on the thickness of the mainstream workpieces in your factory. 3. What is the direct impact of the maximum wire speed of 420 mm/s on the production cycle?The maximum wire speed determines the chip removal ability during rough machining. The high-speed wire feeding of 420 mm/s combined with high current discharge can significantly shorten the time of the first cutting (rough cutting). For processes that require "one rough cut, multiple trimming", shortening the rough cutting time can directly increase the daily output of a single device. 4. Which factories are suitable for this second-hand Shadick slow-moving silk stock from 2018 as an instant production capacity supplement?Very suitable for automotive stamping molds, 3C electronic plastic molds, and medical device parts OEM factories. Because it is sold in stock, the factory can avoid the several month lead time for ordering new machines after purchasing, and immediately put them into production. The universality of its "large slot matching with large stroke" allows factories to accept orders without being limited by a single workpiece type.
