AMERA SEIKI S-36 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The AMERA SEIKI S-36 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust main spindle capable of a **maximum turning diameter of 19.68 inches**, a **turning length of 27.56 inches**, and a **maximum swing of 30.7 inches**. It accommodates a **15-inch diameter chuck** and supports a **maximum bar diameter of 4.6 inches**. The single main spindle delivers up to **2,500 RPM** with a power output of **35 HP**, enabling efficient machining of medium-sized workpieces. The machine employs a turret-style primary tool carrier with up to **12 turning and 12 rotary tools**, though it supports only **one simultaneous cutting tool** at a time, reflecting its focus on turning operations. It operates on a two-axis system with an **X-axis travel of 12 inches** and a **Z-axis travel of 33.46 inches**, both with rapid traverse rates of **944 inches per minute**, complemented by the Y-axis rapid traverse also at 944 ipm. This configuration allows for efficient positioning and machining within the stated work envelope. The S-36 is designed for precision horizontal turning tasks, combining substantial spindle power and tool capacity with rapid axis movement to optimize throughput on cylindrical parts up to roughly 20 inches in diameter. Its robust specifications make it suitable for general purpose horizontal machining where moderate to heavy turning workloads are required.
