Overview
BBT-30 tapping center, 520 / 400 / 300 mm, 60 m/min rapids
The HiT-400 is a high speed drilling and tapping center with a direct-coupled BBT-30 spindle, built to cut idle time with a 1.6 second chip-to-chip tool change and 60 m/min rapids on all three axes. Travels are 520 / 400 / 300 mm over a 600 x 400 mm table rated for 200 kg. The spindle runs to 12,000 rpm on FANUC or 15,000 rpm on SIEMENS, with 24,000 rpm optional, and the magazine holds 21 tools. A robot interface is available for the FANUC version.
