HiT Series

Built to order. Ask for lead time.

Overview

BBT-30 tapping center with 700 mm X travel and an 800 x 400 mm table

The HiT-400L is the long-table version of the HiT-400, with X travel extended to 700 mm and an 800 x 400 mm table rated for 200 kg. It is built for drilling and tapping where the 1.6 second chip-to-chip tool change and 60 m/min rapids on all three axes cut idle time. The direct-coupled BBT-30 spindle runs to 12,000 rpm on FANUC or 15,000 rpm on SIEMENS, with a high-speed spindle optional, and the magazine holds 21 tools. A robot interface is available for the FANUC version.
