AKIRA SEIKI SL-15 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Akira-Seiki SL-15 is a 10 HP CNC slant bed bar/chucker turning center engineered for precision production of cylindrical components. This horizontally-spindle machine features a maximum turning diameter of 9.000 inches with a turning length capacity of 12.000 inches, accommodating bar stock up to 1.630 inches in diameter. The 4.000-inch chuck diameter provides reliable workpiece holding with a maximum swing of 16.000 inches over the bed. Equipped with a single main spindle operating at 6,000 RPM, the SL-15 delivers 10 horsepower for efficient material removal across various alloys and steel compositions. The two-axis (X-Z) configuration provides 5.000 inches of X-axis travel and 12.000 inches of Z-axis travel, both with rapid traverse and feed rates reaching 1,300 ipm, enabling quick positioning and optimal cutting speeds. The turret-based tool changer accommodates up to 10 turning tools with single-point cutting capability, facilitating rapid tool changes and minimizing cycle times. This machine is ideal for automotive, aerospace, and general industrial applications requiring high-precision turned parts with tight tolerances. The SL-15's combination of compact footprint, robust spindle power, and rapid feed rates makes it suitable for both prototyping and high-volume production environments where accuracy and consistency are paramount manufacturing requirements.
