SMART MACHINE TOOL SL 280M CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center is a versatile mid-sized machine designed for precision machining of cylindrical components and complex turned parts. Featuring a 10-inch chuck and 3-inch bar capacity, the machine accommodates a wide range of workpiece diameters and lengths, making it suitable for both prototype development and production runs. With a maximum swing of 26.37 inches and machining length of 44.65 inches, it provides ample working envelope for medium-duty applications. The three-axis configuration enables simultaneous X, Z, and indexing control for coordinated turning and positioning operations. Powered by a 24.9 horsepower motor, the machine delivers robust cutting force necessary for heavy-duty machining while maintaining thermal stability. The maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM optimizes surface finish and tool life across various material types and cutting conditions. The CNC control system automates tool selection, positioning, and feed rates, ensuring consistent accuracy and repeatability across multiple parts. The rigid machine construction minimizes vibration during operation, enhancing precision and extending tool longevity. This turning center is well-suited for shops requiring reliable performance in turning, drilling, boring, and related operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its compact footprint relative to capacity, combined with user-friendly CNC programming, makes it an economical choice for job shops and small to medium manufacturing facilities seeking to increase production efficiency and part quality.
