Multi-Station Horizontal Machining Centers

Multi-Station Machining for Higher Production Utilization

Multi-station horizontal machining centers are intended for production strategies that reduce loading downtime, improve part flow or allow several fixtures and operations to be organized around one machining system.

This category includes the Handemo HMC630II-ZT and HTMC630-VI. Their architectures and station arrangements should be compared from the actual production process.

Calculate the Production Requirement

Define part and fixture size, number of operations, loading time, machining time, batch size, takt target, tool requirements, inspection plan and automation needs. A multi-station solution should be justified by the complete flow, not only machine capacity.

Send Handemo the part data and production target for a model and process discussion.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a multi-station machine add value?

It can help when loading or fixture changes limit utilization, or when the production sequence benefits from multiple organized stations.

What should be compared between the two models?

Compare station arrangement, work envelope, fixture strategy, tooling and the required production flow using the detailed model information.
