The 500 mm pallet is the foundation for a generous work size of 39.3-in. high and 35.4-in. in diameter. According to Mazak, at 111-in. wide, the HCN 6000 is space-efficient, with the lowest machine width in its class.
Rapid-traverse rates in X,Y, and Z are 2,362 ipm, and acceleration is 0.7G. A 43-tool magazine with automatic tool changer is standard, as is the 2-pallet changer, driven by a roller-gear cam with no hydraulics or sensors. The pallet will index 90° in 1.9 sec. and change pallets in 9.0 sec.
