The H4040 Horizontal CNC Machining Center by ARES-SEIKI is engineered to maximize productivity and precision in a space-efficient design. Central to its capability is the 400 mm by 400 mm table, which supports a maximum workpiece dimension of $\text{Ø}480$ mm by 540 mm and a table load of up to 200 kg. This machine excels at high-accuracy 4-axis work thanks to its 360-degree rotary table that offers an indexing angle resolution of 0.001 degrees and a superior table repeatability accuracy of 4 seconds.

The robust cutting performance is delivered by a BBT40 spindle utilizing a Directly Coupled Spindle Drive System, providing 7.5-5.5 kW of power (Mitsubishi or Fanuc) and a standard speed of 8,000 RPM, with options up to 15,000 RPM. Speed is also a highlight in axis movement, with fast, rapid traverse rates of 48 m-min in X and Y, and 48 m-min in Z, minimizing non-cutting time. Tool changes are handled quickly by a reliable Arm-Type Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with a 30+1 tool capacity and a tool-to-tool time of 4.0 seconds. The machine’s travels are 400 mm in X, 450 mm in Y, and 380 mm in Z, making it versatile for manufacturing components for industries such as automotive, medical, 3C electronics, and bathroom hardware.
