MILLTRONICS USA, INC. SL6 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Milltronics SL6 is a CNC horizontal turning center engineered for precision cylindrical machining operations. This slant-bed lathe accommodates workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 11.75 inches and maximum turning length of 20 inches, providing substantial capacity for mid-range production runs. The machine features a single main spindle rated at 6,000 RPM and 12 HP, delivering consistent cutting power for diverse material applications. An 8-station turret serves as the primary tool carrier, enabling rapid tool changes to optimize cycle times. The two-axis control (X and Z) provides independent axis movements with a maximum X-axis travel of 7.5 inches and Z-axis travel of 21 inches, accommodating complex part geometries. Both axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 1,000 IPM with cutting feed rates reaching 400 IPM, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced non-cutting time. The machine's true slant-bed casting design enhances rigidity and thermal stability, while linear motion guideways with roller-type bearings support smooth, repeatable positioning. Standard equipment includes a 12-position auto-turret, chip conveyor, hydraulic chuck with foot switch, full enclosure with sliding door, and flood coolant system for extended tool life. The 15-inch LCD color touch screen display with Constant Surface Speed functionality streamlines operator interface and program management, making the SL6 ideal for job shops and contract manufacturers requiring reliable, user-friendly turning capabilities.
