SCHMID MASCHINEN SE 349 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The SCHMID MASCHINEN SE 349 Vertical Machining Center is engineered for high-efficiency machining of large workpieces, particularly suited for tasks such as drilling, tapping, and milling in the production of sizeable rolling bearings. It features an X-axis travel of 23.62 inches and a Z-axis travel of 39.37 inches, providing extensive reach for complex components. The machine is powered by an 84.54 hp spindle, capable of running at speeds up to 4,000 RPM, delivering robust torque for demanding machining operations. The worktable measures 157.48 inches by 157.48 inches, supporting large and heavy workpieces with stability and precision. This machining center includes two independent vertical work spindles mounted on a rigid drilling portal with a stable construction, allowing simultaneous machining on different parts of the workpiece, which enhances productivity. Each spindle is equipped with a dedicated plate tool magazine, accommodating up to 36 HSK100 tools, ensuring versatility and rapid tool changes. The vertical spindles utilize a speed range optimized for heavy-duty cutting, supported by drives rated for power delivery of approximately 63 kW (about 84.54 hp). Dynamic and robust Y and Z axes drive systems ensure high acceleration and feed rates suitable for precise and intensive machining. The control system is typically a SINUMERIK 840D, providing advanced CNC capabilities for complex machining programs and smooth operation. This machining center is ideal for manufacturing large precision parts requiring versatile, simultaneous multi-axis processing with high power and precision.
