Giddings & Lewis HMC SeriesHorizontal Machining Centers Aerospace, Oilfield, Construction, Mining, Shipbuilding,
Job Shops, these are just a few of the industries relying on the capacity, rigidity, versatility and precision of the Giddings & Lewis HMC Series.
Designed and Built to Meet Customer DemandsDesigned with extensive Six Sigma “Voice of the Customer” input HMC
Series horizontal machining centers meet the needs of today’s manufacturers.
Cast iron construction for rigidity, speed to reduce cycle times and the
capacity to handle a wide range of parts are features demanded by
customers doing large part production.
Large Capacity/Solid ConstructionCapable of swinging and shuttling up to 7000 kg, the HMC Series
is a productive choice for large part production. These rugged
machining centers are able to carry heavy loads and take deep
cuts due to the design elements that make them a rigid, accurate
machining platform.
, Cast iron construction with reinforced columns and beds
, Standard linear scales
, Hydrostatic rotary tables
, Part swings to 3000 mm (118.1 in)
The modular design of Fives Giddings & Lewis horizontal machining centers
makes it possible for OEM manufacturers and job shops to match the machine
features to the part size, material and operations required. Among the
configuration choices are: travels, controls, tool magazines, attachments,
coolant sytems and a selection of seven different headstocks.

Robust Design Provides Superior Customer Value
High Performance Drive Way SystemThe high performance Fives Giddings & Lewis drive/way system produces
faster positioning speeds, enhanced contouring performance, increased thrust
and dependable accuracy. This all starts with the hardened and ground
preloaded roller guideways. The result is reduced friction and faster traverse
rates, up to 40 m/min (1575 ipm). The design of the roller packs optimizes
way surface contact and rigidity. The way system efficiency results in reduced
oil and energy usage.
, Hydraulically preloaded ballscrews provide superior axis stiffness
via constant preload which is unaffected by heat
, Large, zero-backlash ballscrews supply smooth axis motion
and high trust performance. The stiffness of the larger screws
enhances load carrying capacity
, Special geared AC digital drives maintain high torque and impressive
stiffness even at high traverse and feed rates
, Digital servo drives are sized to handle the headstock positioning
and weight influences
, Unsurpassed positioning accuracy is provided by the standard
linear scale feedback system
– Positioning accuracy 0.008 mm (0.0003 in)
– Repeatability 0.005 mm (0.0002 in)
Hydrostatic Rotary Table A built-in contouring rotary table is standard on the HMC Series.
, The table design features tapered roller radial bearings and preloaded
hydrostatic axial bearings. The hydrostatic bearings add dynamic
stiffness for heavy-duty, precise cutting
, For contouring, the robust worm gear drive includes servo clamping. For
conventional machining operations, the design includes a non-influencing
mechanical clamp
, Standard rotary scale feedback provides unmatched positioning accuracy Peripheral Ring Clamp
Spindle Choices
Spindle ChoicesWhether machining aluminum, cast iron or titanium, the HMC 1250 has
the spindle to do the job. In addition to the standard 8,000 rpm spindle,
choices include high-speed, high-torque, four tilt and two live spindles.
The live spindles add reach and increase productivity by accomodating the
use of multi-functional attachments such as programmable boring bars and
contouring heads. The 210,000 position A-axis tilt spindles facilitate five-axis
machining of large parts thereby reducing the number of required setups.

maximizing machine and control availability.
, All services are centralized
, The panel is at floor level
, Labeling is clear and specific. Hoses are marked with the type of fluid
or gas and the direction of the flow. Labels and noteplates are color coded.
Solenoids are lighted. Gauges are marked with normal operation ranges
Choice of High-Performance ControlChoose the control that is right for the job. Fives Giddings & Lewis offers
Siemens and Fanuc controls on all horizontal machining centers. All
control choices include: fast ethernet connection, rigid tapping, high-level
programming capabilities, interior lighting for control cabinets and remote
hand-held pendant with MPG (manual pulse generator).
W/Z Tracking, available on HMCs with live spindles and 840D Solution Line
controls, offers ease of programming and operator convenience.
, W/Z Tracking maintains constant zero between colinear axes
, Accounts for changes in machine geometry when one of the axes in a
collinear set is repositioned in the part program
, After the W/Z relationship is established through part referencing, the
control tracks all W and Z axis moves, displays their relationship and
moves one or both axes to maintain the correct gap position

Exclusive Spindle Growth CompensationDeveloped by Giddings & Lewis, the exclusive W-Axis thermal
compensation software, which is standard on the live spindles, dynamically
offsets spindle growth, maintaining tight accuracies.
