The HR-40 model anchors the Fryer HR Series, providing a powerful and rigid platform for high-performance horizontal milling. Engineered with extra-large castings, ballscrews, and bearings, the machine ensures superior vibration dampening and sustained accuracy under demanding conditions. Its design features a robust fixed spindle and impressive travel specifications of 40 inches in X, 29 inches in Y, and 25 inches in Z. Powering the HR-40 is a high-torque 40 HP spindle motor driving a 6,000 RPM 50 taper spindle, which guarantees the rigidity and torque necessary for heavy cuts across various materials.

A key feature enhancing productivity is the optional built-in contouring rotary table, which allows for efficient multi-sided machining in a single setup. The machine supports automation with a 24, 40, or 60 tool arm-type Automatic Tool Changer. Operation is simplified by the user-friendly Fryer-Siemens 828-HS CNC control, which facilitates shop floor programming through simple menu operation and fast set-up keys, making it excellent for small lots and single-piece runs while still supporting G-code for high-production work. With options like high-pressure coolant thru spindle and easy access for large part loading, the HR-40 is a versatile and reliable horizontal mill.
