The HPN800 features an ultra-rigid T-shaped base with honeycomb structure and 3-point leveling to the rock-solid spindle, advanced lubrication and cooling systems, accessible service points, and built-in diagnostics. It also incorporates Niigata’s hybrid guideway system with rapids of 2400ipm for high productivity.

The machine also includes Niigata’s cam driven ATC system with 2.5 second tool to tool time and carousel type multi-pallet system and flexible manufacturing system (FMS) with Niigata’s Intelligent Cell Controller (ICC).

HPN800 key features:

  • A horizontal machine for combined substantial rough machining with precision finish processes.
  • Higher productivity, heavier duty, greater workpiece envelope, and variety of high performance spindles.
  • One-piece ultra-rigid T-shape machine base with honeycomb structure and three-point leveling.
  • Niigata’s hybrid style guideway system.
  • Higher productivity with rapids of 2,362ipm and cam driven ATC system with tool to tool time of 2.5 seconds.
