Technical Description
The SCHMID SE 292 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for demanding industrial applications, particularly suited for machining long workpieces such as lorry axles. The machine features a robust, movable machining module integrated into a horizontal configuration, allowing movement along the X, Y, and Z axes with travel distances of 78.74 inches (2,000 mm), 23.898 inches (607 mm), and 42.52 inches (1,080 mm), respectively. This configuration ensures maximum stability, high drive power, and rapid feed rates, optimizing machining times and overall productivity. The unit is equipped with a swivel table featuring a B axis, enabling complex multi-sided machining in a single setup, especially beneficial for front axle components. The clamping device can be fitted with an additional swivel axis for complete part accessibility. The machine is powered by a 60.3 horsepower (45 kW) spindle, capable of reaching up to 6,000 RPM, and utilizes an HSK 100 tool taper for secure and precise tool holding. Tool changing is managed by a 30-position magazine, ensuring efficient tool selection and reduced downtime. The SCHMID SE 292 is controlled by a SINUMERIK 840D CNC system, providing advanced programming capabilities and seamless integration into automated production environments. The machine’s design emphasizes flexibility, accessibility, and ease of maintenance, making it ideal for high-volume, precision machining operations.
