AKIRA SEIKI SR42 XP VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The AKIRA SEIKI SR42 XP is a precision vertical machining center engineered for versatile production work across diverse manufacturing applications. This machine features a robust working envelope with 41.3 inches of X-axis travel, 21.3 inches of Y-axis travel, and 22 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating mid-sized workpieces with excellent accessibility. The spindle delivers 17.98 horsepower at a maximum speed of 11,000 RPM, enabling high-speed cutting operations across various materials. Equipped with a BT40 spindle taper and an automatic tool changer housing 24 tools, the SR42 XP minimizes changeover time and enhances production efficiency. The precision-ground cast iron table measures 19.0 inches wide by 47.2 inches long, providing ample clamping surface area for workpiece positioning and fixturing. The machine is controlled by the AKIRA Mi:845 CNC system, which features Fanuc G-code compatibility, ensuring seamless integration with existing CAM programming environments. The SR42 XP combines rigidity and accuracy with rapid feed rates, making it suitable for both finishing operations requiring tight tolerances and roughing passes demanding material removal rates. Its compact footprint relative to working capacity makes it an efficient choice for shops with space constraints while maintaining the precision necessary for demanding machining tasks in industries ranging from automotive components to general metalworking.
