Sharp-CNC SVL-3320 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC vertical machining center features a **39.3" x 19.6" work table** with a maximum workpiece load capacity of **1,100 lbs**, designed to handle substantial machining tasks. The machine is equipped with a **CAT 40 BIG Plus spindle taper**, offering enhanced rigidity through its dual contact system which simultaneously engages the spindle taper and spindle face for superior tool holding stability and reduced deflection at cutting forces. The spindle operates vertically with a power rating of **15 HP (30-minute rating)**, capable of speeds up to **8,000 RPM standard** with an optional upgrade to **10,000 RPM**, supporting high-speed precision machining. Tooling is managed via an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity for **20 tools**, expandable to **30**, and offers a rapid tool change time of **1.5 seconds**, optimizing production efficiency. The machine contains **3 linear axes (X, Y, Z)** with travels of **33", 20", and 22" respectively**, each capable of rapid traverse rates up to **1,417 inches per minute**, supporting high feed rates for fast material removal and finishing. No additional U axis or pallet changer is included, though a rotary table can be optionally supported. The BIG-PLUS spindle technology improves surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and tool life by minimizing Z-axis movement and enhancing ATC repeatability, providing a significant increase in rigidity compared to traditional CAT40 spindles. This makes the machine suitable for heavy-duty milling requiring precise, stable, and efficient cutting performance.
