AKIRA-SEIKI SL-40 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The AKIRA-SEIKI SL-40 is a horizontal CNC machining center designed for precision turning operations. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 19.0 inches and a maximum turning length of 27.0 inches, accommodating a spindle chuck diameter of 12.0 inches and a maximum swing of 29.5 inches. The spindle supports bar stock with a maximum diameter of 3.03 inches and operates at speeds up to 3,000 RPM with a 30 HP motor, providing robust cutting power. The machine is equipped with a turret tool carrier holding up to 12 tools, though only one tool can engage in simultaneous cutting, offering flexibility for varied machining processes. It operates on 2 axes (X and Z), with respective travels of 10.0 inches and 27.0 inches. Both axes feature rapid traverse and maximum feed rates of 1,100 inches per minute, enabling high-speed, efficient machining cycles. The machine's design supports bar and chuck style turning applications, incorporating the Akira-Fanuc CNC control system for precise and reliable operation. Overall, the SL-40 is engineered for stable, high-performance turning with ergonomic automation features to optimize productivity and reduce setup times, making it suitable for medium to large workpiece machining in manufacturing environments.
