MAS SPH 50 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAS SPH 50 is a specialized horizontal machining center engineered for heavy-duty turning operations on extended workpieces. Featuring dual main spindles each rated at 2,100 RPM and 134 HP, the machine accommodates workpieces up to 20.8 inches in turning diameter and 118 inches in maximum length, with a swing capacity of 29.9 inches. The two independent main spindles enable simultaneous two-tool machining, significantly enhancing production efficiency for complex turning applications. The auxiliary rotary spindle operates at 4,000 RPM with 13 HP, supporting up to six rotary tools in addition to six turning tools. The machine provides three standard axes with optional four-axis capability, offering X, Y, and Z-axis travel of 8.8, and 79 inches respectively. All axes deliver impressive rapid traverse rates of 480 IPM with consistent 200 IPM maximum feed rates. The VDI tool carrier system ensures quick tool changes and operational flexibility. With two simultaneously active cutting tools and robust 134 HP spindle motors, the SPH 50 excels in high-productivity turning operations, particularly for railway industry applications involving heavy shafts and long components. The combination of extended workpiece capacity, dual independent spindles, and auxiliary rotary tooling makes this machine suitable for demanding production environments requiring precision multi-axis turning capabilities on substantial workpieces.
