SCHUTTE SF 51 S HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SCHUTTE SF 51 S is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in multi-spindle turning operations. Featuring six main spindles, each capable of a maximum turning diameter and bar diameter of 2.000" (51 mm), this machine delivers robust throughput for complex workpieces. The maximum turning length reaches 12.400" (315 mm), while the main spindle chuck diameter and max swing are both 2.000", ensuring compatibility with a wide range of workholding solutions. Each main spindle operates at up to 3,000 RPM, powered by a 30 HP motor, providing ample speed and torque for demanding machining tasks. The machine is equipped with two slide-type tool carriers, supporting up to three turning tools on the primary carrier and one on the secondary, allowing for a total of four simultaneous cutting tools. With seven axes of motion and a Z-axis travel of 5.000" (127 mm), the SF 51 S enables versatile and precise machining across multiple faces. Engineered for high-volume production, this horizontal machining center combines advanced automation, rigid construction, and flexible tooling to achieve superior productivity and accuracy in industries such as automotive, hydraulics, pneumatics, and general mechanical engineering.
