SHARP-CNC STC SERIES HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SHARP-CNC STC Series is a heavy-duty, 2-axis CNC horizontal lathe designed for precision turning operations on large workpieces. Featuring a maximum swing of 59.84 inches over the bed and a turning diameter capacity of 51 inches, this machine accommodates substantial components including mandrels, rollers, shafts, and pipe work. The main spindle delivers 30 horsepower at 500 RPM with a 6-inch maximum bar diameter capacity and 32-inch chuck diameter, enabling efficient machining of oversized industrial components. The machine provides a maximum cutting length of 78 inches with precise 2-axis servo-driven control for X, Y, and Z-axis movements. All three axes offer rapid traverse rates of 197 inches per minute and maximum feed rates of 118 inches per minute, ensuring efficient cycle times. The turret accommodates up to 12 turning tools with simultaneous single-tool cutting capability for optimized versatility. Built with a one-piece mihanite cast iron bed and base featuring box-shaped ribbing, the structure provides exceptional rigidity and stability under heavy lateral and axial cutting forces. The 49-inch-wide bed is engineered with six separate bedways, allowing independent cross-slide and tailstock travel to prevent interference during machining while distributing cutting forces effectively. The machine is equipped with FANUC Oi-T CNC controller as standard, delivering high performance and accuracy for job shops, power utilities, and shipbuilding applications requiring reliable, precision turning capabilities.
