2010 AKIRA SEIKI SV1700 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2010 Akira Seiki SV1700 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Akira Seiki's Super Vertical (SV) series, designed for large-format machining requiring an extended X-axis work envelope beyond the SV1300. The SV1700 bridges the gap between the SV1300 and the double-column SV2060 in Akira Seiki's heavy-duty VMC lineup, offering the same high-performance spindle platform in a larger travel package. The spindle features a BT-40 taper with a 42 HP peak motor and a maximum spindle speed of 15,000 RPM with oil-chilling spindle temperature control. A 36-tool arm-type ATC is standard equipment, with a chip-to-chip time of 1.9 seconds. The machine is controlled by the Akira Mi:845 system (Fanuc G-code compatible). The SV1700 is suited for production machining of long structural components, mold bases, and fixture plates in aerospace, tooling, and industrial manufacturing environments. Standard equipment includes chain-type chip conveyor, flood coolant, automatic lubrication, and full enclosure. Prospective buyers are advised to confirm all axis travels, table dimensions, and overall machine footprint directly with the unit, as specifications for this model variant are not fully documented in publicly available English-language sources.
