SMART MACHINE TOOL SM 1565 (CAT40, 12K) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machining center is a mid-to-heavy-duty vertical spindle system engineered for precision manufacturing across diverse applications. The machine features a substantial work envelope with X, Y, and Z axis travels of 59.06, 25.59, and 24.04 inches respectively, accommodating larger workpieces while maintaining repeatability. The generous worktable dimensions of 62.99 by 25.59 inches provide ample clamping and setup flexibility. Powered by a robust 24.93 hp spindle motor capable of speeds up to 12,000 RPM, this system delivers high material removal rates suitable for both finishing and heavy cutting operations. The CAT40 spindle taper with BIG-PLUS technology represents a significant enhancement over standard CAT40 holders, providing dual-contact spindle engagement that increases rigidity approximately four times compared to conventional designs. This enhanced rigidity enables heavier cuts and improved surface finish quality while reducing tool and spindle wear. The 36-position automatic tool changer (ATC) facilitates rapid tool changes, minimizing cycle times and enabling complex multi-operation programs without manual intervention. The machine is equipped with a full CNC control system for precise numerical programming and automated machining cycles. The combination of generous travel distances, high spindle power, advanced BIG-PLUS tool holding technology, and extensive tool magazine capacity makes this machine ideal for production runs requiring consistent accuracy, medium-to-heavy cutting forces, and operational efficiency across metals, alloys, and specialty materials.
