en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mitsui Seiki USA will exhibit its high-performance HU63A-5XT five-axis horizontal machining center at Booth 338700 in the South Hall of IMTS 2026, held from September 14 to 19, 2026, at McCormick Place in Chicago. This mill-turn composite system, designed for next-generation aerospace manufacturing, integrates precision milling and turning capabilities, enabling complete part processing from roughing to finishing in a single setup, virtually ensuring that even the most complex components meet specifications on the first pass.

This machine is particularly critical for workshops manufacturing engine casings or housings, where repeatability is key to reducing clamping errors, avoiding part mismatches, and minimizing scrap. The HU63A-5XT offers X/Y/Z travel of 900 mm, with five-axis simultaneous machining capability, and is equipped with a high-torque spindle delivering 1,081 N·m of torque, with positioning accuracy of +/-0.001 mm. The center can machine difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, with cutting feed rates ranging from 0.1 mm/min to 10,000 mm/min on the X, Y, and Z axes. The X-axis rapid traverse speed reaches 12,000 mm/min, while the Y and Z axes can achieve up to 24,000 mm/min. Combined with A-axis rotation at 2,160 degrees/min and B-axis rotation at 3,600 degrees/min, this mill-turn composite machining center achieves high precision at elevated speeds.

The HU63A-5XT comes standard with a 630 mm square pallet, equipped with an automatic pallet changer and automatic tool changer as standard features, making it a fully automated machining center. Its dimensions are 5,700 mm x 4,700 mm x 3,450 mm, with pallet height ranging from 1,500 mm (APC side) to 1,480 mm (M/C side). Driven by a FANUC Series 501 iS-A controller, the equipment can also perform drilling, boring, tapping, and reaming operations, providing workshops with a fully automated production platform.

Daniel Cleary, President and CEO of Mitsui Seiki USA, stated that the HU63A-5XT represents the company's commitment to continuous innovation, aiming to provide customers with manufacturing solutions that maintain competitiveness in the global market. By combining complete five-axis machining and turning capabilities on a single platform, manufacturers can complete complex parts in one setup, reducing variation, increasing throughput, and achieving the precision required for critical aerospace applications.

For nearly 100 years, Mitsui Seiki has maintained a leading position in precision machine tool design and production. During the exhibition, Western Regional Sales Director Nathan Swartzbaugh will discuss topics such as automation and data-driven analysis of high-precision CNC machining processes on September 16, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 9:55 AM, in Room W192-A of the West Building.
