SMART MACHINE TOOL SM 1165 (CAT40, 8K) 24T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machining center features a working envelope of 43.31 inches (X-axis), 25.59 inches (Y-axis), and 24.02 inches (Z-axis), supporting machining operations of medium to large workpieces. It is equipped with a 20 HP spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 8,000 RPM, providing high power and speed for efficient material removal. The machine uses a 24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), allowing for rapid tool switching and improved productivity. It employs a CAT40 BIG-PLUS taper tool holding system, which enhances tool-holder rigidity and spindle contact by providing dual contact between the spindle taper and flange, significantly increasing stiffness and reducing deflection during cutting. The worktable dimensions measure 47.24 inches in length by 25.30 inches in width, offering ample support and flexibility for varied projects. CNC control enhances precision and repeatability, enabling complex, programmed milling operations with high accuracy and consistent output. This machine's design integrates robust mechanical components and efficient tool management, making it suitable for high-precision machining tasks in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold-making, where tight tolerances and surface finishes are critical. The BIG-PLUS CAT40 taper offers improved rigidity compared to standard CAT40 holders, allowing deeper cuts and higher material removal rates without chatter, extending tool and spindle life. Overall, this machine combines substantial work envelope, powerful spindle, advanced tool changing, and enhanced tool holding for versatile, high-performance milling applications.
