SCHMID MASCHINEN SE 359 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SCHMID MASCHINEN SE 359 is a high-performance vertical machining center designed for efficient and precise machining of large workpieces, particularly in the production of large rolling bearings. Featuring a rigid portal construction with two independent vertical machining units, the SE 359 ensures robustness and dynamic operation for demanding drilling, tapping, and milling tasks. The machine offers a traversing range of 15.75 inches (400 mm) on the X-axis and 47.24 inches (1,200 mm) on the Z-axis, providing ample workspace for large components. The work spindle delivers a maximum power output of 84.54 hp (63 kW) at a speed range of up to 4,000 RPM, enabling high-speed machining with a torque of 859 Nm (S6-40% ED). The table dimensions are 236.22 inches (6,000 mm) in both width and length, accommodating substantial workpieces with ease. Each machining unit is equipped with a lateral plate tool magazine offering 36 places for HSK100 tool tapers, ensuring rapid tool changes and high productivity. The portal’s Y and Z axes are highly dynamic, supporting robust and accurate machining operations. An optional angular drill head allows for both exterior and interior machining of rolling bearing rings. The SE 359 is controlled by the advanced SINUMERIK 840D system, guaranteeing precise and reliable operation. This machining center is ideal for applications requiring high efficiency, accuracy, and versatility in the processing of large, heavy-duty components.
