MORI SEIKI SL-403C/2000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 21-inch chuck size and a 6.5-inch bar capacity, allowing for the secure holding and machining of large-diameter workpieces. With a robust 50 hp spindle and a maximum speed of 1,500 RPM, the machine delivers high torque and efficient material removal for demanding turning operations. The maximum turning diameter is 24.4 inches, and the swing over the bed reaches 36.8 inches, accommodating sizable parts. The machining length extends up to 81.4 inches, supported by a tailstock for enhanced workpiece stability during long turning tasks. The lathe operates on a 2-axis CNC control system, specifically the Mitsubishi MSX-500IV, ensuring precise and repeatable machining. The X-axis travel is 13.6 inches, while the Z-axis travel reaches 86.4 inches, providing ample movement for complex part geometries. Rapid traverse rates of 787 ipm (X-axis) and 945 ipm (Z-axis) enable swift tool positioning and reduced cycle times. The spindle nose is configured as A2-15, compatible with a wide range of tooling options. The turret holds up to 12 tools, facilitating efficient tool changes and multi-operation setups. The machine measures 260 inches in length, 125 inches in width, and 101 inches in height, with a total weight of 31,000 pounds, reflecting its heavy-duty construction and stability for industrial applications.
