SHARP 1118H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SHARP 1118H is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for demanding toolroom and production applications. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 9.000", a turning length of 18.000", and a maximum swing of 11.000". The spindle is equipped with a 6.000" chuck diameter and delivers 5.00 HP, capable of reaching speeds up to 3,500 RPM for efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. The machine utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier, supporting one cutting tool at a time, and operates on two axes (X and Z) with X-axis travel of 6.000" and Z-axis travel of 7.000". The robust spindle is hardened and ground for accuracy and durability, supported by paired angular contact bearings to ensure stability during high-speed operations. The 1118H incorporates a digital variable speed (DVS) drive system, allowing for infinitely variable spindle speed control to match specific machining requirements. It offers independent electric feed rate control on both the carriage and cross slide, enabling precise adjustments for longitudinal and cross feeds. The lathe is equipped with a quick-change inch/metric gearbox providing 36 thread pitch options, supporting both inch and metric threading. The tailstock features a #2 Morse taper and 3-3/4" spindle travel for secure workholding. Designed for versatility, the 1118H is suitable for a wide range of precision turning tasks, from small piece work to complex toolroom projects, and is rated for 220/440V, three-phase power.
