A: The MH-400 uses a belt-driven spindle with 10,000 rpm standard (12,000 rpm option), while the MH-400 PLUS offers 12,000 rpm standard and a 15,000 rpm direct-drive option. The PLUS also uses a radial ATC with . The MH-400 is the cost-efficient entry-level configuration of the same platform.
A: The MH-400 offers a standard 40-tool ATC, expandable to 60 or 120 tools — providing flexibility for complex part families with diverse tooling requirements.
A: The MH-400 accepts workpieces up to Ø550mm in diameter and 800mm in height, within its 550/510/630mm (X/Y/Z) axis travel envelope.
The MH-400 Horizontal Machining Center provides reliable, production-proven HMC performance in a compact 400×400mm table format. Designed for manufacturers entering the horizontal machining space or running high-mix small-to-medium component production, the MH-400 combines core HMC capabilities — dual-pallet APC, multi-face positioning, and high tool capacity — with an accessible and proven configuration.
Powered by an ISO No. 40 belt-driven spindle at 10,000 rpm standard (optional 12,000 rpm), the MH-400 handles a wide range of materials including steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The flexible ATC accepts 40 tools as standard, expandable to 60 or 120 tools for more complex part families. Maximum workpiece size of Ø550mm × 800mm height fits within the 550/510/630mm (X/Y/Z) travel range.
The MH-400’s standard 0.001° B-axis indexing and dual APC support efficient multi-face production without compromising repeatability. As the entry-level model in the MH series, the MH-400 shares the same structural design philosophy and manufacturing quality as the award-winning MH-630 PLUS — delivered by Ingenious Machinery from Taichung, Taiwan.
