2008 Doosan HP-5100 CNC Horizontal Machining Center

The 2008 Doosan HP-5100 horizontal machining centre marries a 19.7- by 19.7-inch twin-pallet system to 33.5-, 27.6- and 29.5-inch linear strokes, delivering 4-axis capacity for aerospace brackets, diesel cylinder heads and hydraulic manifolds. A 30-horsepower, oil-chilled spindle whirls CAT-40 tooling to 14 000 RPM and channels 1 000 PSI through-spindle coolant, so 2-inch indexable drills plunge mild-steel blocks without peck cycles. FANUC 18i-MB graphics guide the set-up, while roller LM guides let the X-, Y- and Z-axes sprint at 1 889 IPM to minimise non-cut time.

A 60-station side-mount arm changes tools in 1.5 seconds, and the 1-degree B-axis shifts tombstones in 7.5 seconds—keeping the spindle busy instead of waiting. Pallet capacity stands at 1 102 pounds, and chips exit via a high-volume conveyor to support true lights-out machining. Stack this model beside the earlier HP-4000 and the 5100 stretches X-travel by 9.8 inches, doubles pallet payload and lifts spindle speed from 12 000 to 14 000 RPM, all while sharing the same FANUC logic—so existing part programs upscale with minimal tweak.
