RETRO TRAK SX 1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The RETRO TRAK SX 1000 Vertical Machining Center is a versatile CNC machine designed for precision milling and prototyping applications. It features a robust work envelope with X-axis travel of 39.76 inches, Y-axis travel of 16.93 inches, and Z-axis travel of 23.23 inches, providing ample capacity for a wide range of part sizes. The machine is powered by a 7.38 hp spindle, capable of reaching speeds up to 5,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and high-quality surface finishes. Equipped with a ProtoTRAK CNC control system, the SX 1000 offers an intuitive, conversational programming interface that simplifies setup and operation, making it accessible for both novice and experienced machinists. The ProtoTRAK control supports both manual and CNC modes, allowing seamless transitions between traditional and automated machining. It includes features such as electronic handwheels for manual operation, incremental and absolute dimensioning, tool offsets, and canned cycles for common milling operations. The control also provides graphical program verification, jog at rapid with override, and servo return to home for enhanced productivity and accuracy. The machine’s rigid construction and precision components ensure consistent performance and reliability in demanding production environments. With its combination of generous travel, powerful spindle, and user-friendly control, the RETRO TRAK SX 1000 is well-suited for toolroom work, short-run production, and complex prototyping tasks.
