DN Solutions highlights its second-generation NHP 6300 horizontal machining center, offering reduced cycle times, enhanced spindle performance, and seamless automation integration.
Engineered to slash non-cutting time, the company says its second-generation NHP 6300 boosts spindle acceleration and deceleration rates by 20% over its predecessor. Table indexing is 35% faster and table rotation speed has more than doubled, significantly reducing cycle times and driving higher throughput. Tool change times are 30% faster, further minimizing downtime between operations.
The second-generation NHP 6300 features a high-speed 12,000 r/min 50 taper built-in spindle, with a 15,000 r/min spindle available as an option. Vibration and thermal distortion are minimized to deliver exceptional stability and precision during heavy-duty cutting or extended operation. Integrated cooling for the spindle shaft and nut assemblies, paired with advanced thermal compensation, preserves machining accuracy throughout prolonged cycles.
A hallmark of the NHP series is its standard B-axis rotary table and automatic pallet changer (APC). These components enable complete five-sided machining in a single setup and support uninterrupted production by alternating between two pallets.
Automation-ready, the second-generation NHP 6300 seamlessly integrates with systems such as the Linear Pallet System (LPS) and enables 24/7 lights-out manufacturing via smart tool-wear prediction, advanced process scheduling and defect-prevention logic.
To enhance operational efficiency, the second-generation NHP 6300 features an optional Sludge-Free Coolant (SFC) tank that automatically filters chips and sludge, reducing maintenance downtime and maximizing machine availability.
With its robust design, precision control, and automation flexibility, the second-generation NHP 6300 provides a comprehensive solution for manufacturers seeking faster, smarter and more reliable horizontal machining.
