Advantages
Why Choose Horizontal Machining Centres?
Pallet Changer Recovers Spindle Time
Load and unload happen off-line while the spindle keeps cutting on the other pallet.
One Control, Two Sizes
The Kaizora Nexa 5 control and programming approach carry over from the KH-500 to the KH-630.
Parts Stocked in Vaughan
Common spindle, changer and pallet components ship from our own warehouse, not overseas.
Pallet-Cycle Training Included
Our applications engineers prove out and train your first pallet program before delivery.

KH-500
The KH-500 is Kaizora's entry horizontal machining centre, built around a 500 x 500 mm pallet and a 2-station automatic pallet changer so one part finishes machining while the next is loaded. A BT40, 18.5 kW spindle and a 40-station matrix magazine handle multi-face steel and aluminum parts without a single manual re-fixture, which is the whole reason shops move from vertical to horizontal in the first place. Tollaston sets this machine up most often for job shops taking on their first true lights-out production job, where the pallet changer alone recovers hours of operator time every week. Our applications engineers program your first pallet cycle in the Vaughan Tech Centre before the machine ever reaches your floor.

KH-630
The KH-630 steps up to a 630 x 630 mm pallet, a BT50 spindle and a 60-station magazine for shops running heavier castings and higher-volume multi-face parts than the KH-500 is sized for. Its 26 kW spindle delivers 340 Nm of torque for steel and cast-iron roughing, while the same 2-station pallet changer architecture keeps the spindle cutting instead of waiting on a manual load. We typically move customers up to the KH-630 when their part size or their annual volume outgrows a 500 mm pallet — it's a straightforward upgrade path because the Kaizora Nexa 5 control and programming approach carry over directly from the KH-500.

FAQ
Horizontal Machining Centres Questions
Answers to common questions about our horizontal machining centres products.
A VMC holds the spindle vertically over a stationary table; an HMC holds it horizontally and adds an automatic pallet changer, so a multi-face part can be machined from several sides without an operator re-fixturing it between operations.
If most of your parts only need machining from one or two faces, a VMC is usually more cost-effective. If you're re-fixturing parts several times per job, or want true unattended running, an HMC pays for itself in recovered spindle time.
The KH-500 covers most job-shop-to-mid-volume work on a 500 mm pallet; the KH-630 is for heavier castings, BT50 torque requirements, or higher production volumes.
Every HMC purchase includes on-site operator and pallet-cycle training, plus access to Kaizora Nexa 5 control classes at our Vaughan Tech Centre.
