AKIRA-SEIKI SL-25 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The AKIRA-SEIKI SL-25 is a 2-axis horizontal CNC machining center designed primarily for turning operations. It features a robust main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 14.0 inches and a maximum turning length of 15.0 inches, supported by an 8.25-inch diameter chuck and a 2.05-inch maximum bar diameter capacity. The spindle operates up to 5,000 RPM with an 18 HP motor, delivering substantial power for precision machining. The machine’s turret tool carrier accommodates up to 12 tools, although only one cutting tool may operate simultaneously. The X-axis travel is 7.0 inches with a maximum feed and rapid traverse rate of 1,200 inches per minute, while the Z-axis travel extends to 15.0 inches, sharing the same feed and rapid traverse capabilities. This configuration ensures efficient material removal and precision in complex turning tasks. With a maximum spindle swing of 22.0 inches, the SL-25 can handle moderately large workpieces. The machining center is built for reliability and versatility in production environments requiring precise turning on moderately sized parts. It includes CNC control, typically Akira or Fanuc systems, facilitating programmable and repeatable machining operations. The SL-25's combination of spindle power, tooling flexibility, and travel capacities makes it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing sectors requiring high accuracy in horizontal turning processes.
