PROMECOR SMT 03 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The PROMECOR SMT 03 is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for precision metal cutting operations with a streamlined two-axis configuration. Featuring a single main spindle rated at 6,000 RPM, the machine accommodates workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 6.000" and turning length of 9.840", with a chuck diameter of 6.290". The spindle's maximum swing capability of 6.290" enables versatile machining from multiple angles. The machine utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier with single-tool simultaneous cutting capacity, optimizing workflow for dedicated operations. Travel distances span 15.750" on the X-axis and 9.840" on the Z-axis, providing adequate envelope for mid-range component machining. Rapid traverse rates of 1,181 ipm across X, Y, and Z axes deliver efficient non-cutting positioning, minimizing cycle times and enhancing productivity. The two-axis architecture simplifies operation and maintenance while maintaining structural rigidity essential for stable machining performance. This configuration makes the SMT 03 particularly suitable for small to medium-sized production runs requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The machine's compact footprint and moderate spindle speed prioritize torque delivery over high-speed operations, making it well-suited for heavy interrupted cuts and rigid workholding applications typical in job-shop and contract manufacturing environments.
