Iron Horse 5
The Iron Horse 5 is a five-axis moving table CNC machining center that easily handles complex angles, materials and curvatures, as well as machining normal to a surface and architectural milling on the side of a part.
If you need precise control, you need an Iron Horse 5. Its articulating head allows for cutting on the C- and B-axes to achieve tricky angles and curvatures. The higher Z-axis height also gives your shop additional flexibility when machining large parts.
The Iron Horse 5 takes full advantage of FANUC’s most advanced multi-axis tool center point (TCP) kinematics and nano-smoothing features. Multiple stationary and dynamic tool change options are available based on your application needs.
Though it’s available in single and twin table variations, the twin table option opens the door for pendulum processing to decrease your cycle times. If you’re looking for a more compact footprint, a wide orientation delivers the precision and efficiency you expect while saving space. For easier access, a narrow orientation allows for easy loading and unloading on three sides of the table.
Every Northwood CNC machine features precision FANUC servo controls, automatic oil lubrication, a year-long subscription to Northwood LIVE and lifetime service and support from U.S.-based technicians.
