The MCD1816 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center that provides high-speed, high-quality FF machining of heavy dies/molds and large parts. High-accuracy 0.0001º indexing table boosts machining efficiency for shorter delivery times. A highly rigid long nose spindle enhances machining performance to provide deep-end milling and heavy-duty cutting. The table indexes at 0.0001º resolution and can support loads up to 8 tons. Standard configuration includes multiple spiral chip conveyors that efficiently remove large volumes of chips and coolant. The front door and ceiling of the fully enclosed splash guard open fully for easier setups of large-size workpieces. Well suited for FF machining and gun drilling. Standard features include absolute position detection in all axes.
