SHARP SVX-500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The Sharp SVX-500 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 5-axis CNC machine engineered for precision and versatility in complex machining applications. Featuring X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 23.6 inches, 31.8 inches, and 19.7 inches respectively, the SVX-500 delivers extensive work envelope capabilities ideal for large and intricate parts. The machine is powered by an 18.6 kW spindle motor, capable of reaching speeds up to 15,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. Equipped with a CAT-40 BIG PLUS taper, the spindle provides robust tool holding and high torque transmission for demanding operations. The SVX-500 integrates a 30-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) carousel, enabling rapid tool changes and minimizing non-cutting time. Controlled by the advanced FANUC 31i-B5 CNC system, the machine supports simultaneous 5-axis machining, allowing true 5-sided and complex contouring operations with a single setup. The control system offers advanced features such as 3D tool nose compensation, tool center point compensation, and high-speed machining cycles, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. The SVX-500’s rigid box-in-box construction, reinforced with strategically placed ribs, maintains structural integrity and minimizes vibration, resulting in consistent accuracy and surface quality. Designed for high-precision applications, the machine accommodates workpieces weighing up to 770 lbs and supports a wide range of accessories for enhanced productivity. The SVX-500 is ideal for industries requiring high-accuracy, multi-sided machining, including aerospace, medical, and mold and die manufacturing.
