ACER SMC 2444 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The ACER SMC 2444 is a robust 3-axis vertical machining center designed for general-purpose industrial machining applications. Featuring a generous working envelope with X, Y, and Z travel dimensions of 43.3, 23.6, and 23.6 inches respectively, this machine accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes. The machine is powered by a 14.75 hp motor driving an 8,000 RPM spindle equipped with a BT-40 taper, suitable for standard tooling configurations. The casting table measures 49.2 inches in length by 25.6 inches in width, providing ample surface area for workpiece clamping and fixture setup. An integrated 16-position automatic tool changer enables efficient tool exchange during production runs, minimizing downtime and improving cycle times. The machine's substantial weight of 16,535 lbs ensures rigid structure and vibration dampening during cutting operations, contributing to consistent dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality. This VMC is well-suited for milling, boring, drilling, reaming, and rigid tapping operations across aerospace, automotive, mold manufacturing, and general metalworking industries. The combination of spindle power, rapid traverse capabilities, and tool magazine capacity makes the SMC 2444 an economical choice for job shops and production facilities seeking reliable mid-range machining performance without excessive floor space requirements.
