2012 SHARP SV2412SX VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2012 Sharp SV2412SX is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing the extended-performance variant of Sharp Industries' SV 2412 platform, featuring enhanced spindle speed capability and refined axis systems for demanding precision milling work. The machine is constructed on a rigid cast-iron column and base with precision-ground hardened box-way guideways on all three linear axes, delivering the structural rigidity needed for high-accuracy contouring and pocketing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 28 x 12-inch worktable provides a capable fixturing surface with T-slots compatible with standard vises, modular tooling plates, and custom fixtures. Axis travels of 24 inches in X, 12 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z define the work envelope. The 40-taper spindle operates at up to 8,000 RPM with 10 HP continuous output, providing the torque for steel roughing and sufficient speed for aluminum finishing. An automatic tool changer supports unattended multi-tool programs. The Fanuc 0i-M CNC control delivers full G-code, macro execution, tool life management, and network connectivity. The SV2412SX weighs approximately 7,700 lbs, making it a well-balanced mid-size VMC for job-shop, toolroom, and precision production applications requiring consistent dimensional accuracy across varied part programs.
