A: The MH-400 PLUS features an upgraded spindle system — 12,000 rpm as standard (vs 10,000 rpm on MH-400) and an optional 15,000 rpm direct-drive spindle, delivering higher speed, better thermal stability, and precision suited for high-speed machining applications.
A: The MH-400 PLUS uses a radial-type automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard 40-tool capacity, offering rapid tool selection and compact storage within the machine envelope.
A: The MH-400 PLUS serves aerospace, medical device, mold & die, automotive sub-components, and precision electronics enclosure manufacturing — wherever high spindle speed combined with accurate multi-face positioning is required.
The MH-400 PLUS Horizontal Machining Center is Ingenious Machinery’s high-speed compact HMC, designed for manufacturers who need rapid metal removal combined with precision angular positioning in a smaller footprint. With a 400×400mm working table and 400kg load capacity, the MH-400 PLUS is optimized for small-to-medium complex components requiring multi-face machining.
A key differentiator of the MH-400 PLUS is its direct-drive spindle option, offering up to 15,000 rpm — compared to the belt-driven standard at 12,000 rpm. The direct-drive configuration delivers higher rotational accuracy, lower thermal generation, and reduced maintenance requirements, making it ideal for high-speed precision milling of aluminum, titanium, and hardened steel components. The radial-type 40-tool ATC ensures compact tool storage with fast chip-to-chip times.
The dual automatic pallet changer (APC) maintains continuous production, while the 0.001° B-axis minimum indexing supports precise multi-angle positioning. Maximum workpiece envelope of Ø550mm diameter and 800mm height, within 550/510/630mm (X/Y/Z) travel, accommodates a wide range of complex parts. Manufactured and tested in Taichung, Taiwan by Ingenious Machinery.
