SMART MACHINE TOOL SM 800-APC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust working envelope with axis travels of 33.86 inches (X), 23.62 inches (Y), and 23.62 inches (Z). It is equipped with a powerful 20 hp spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 12,000 RPM, enabling high-speed machining and efficient material removal. The machine utilizes a 40-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with a CAT40 (BIG-PLUS) taper spindle interface, which provides dual contact between the spindle taper and the flange face, significantly enhancing tool rigidity, reducing chatter, and improving machining accuracy and tool life. The BIG-PLUS system also ensures improved repeatability in tool changes. The worktable measures 31.5 inches in length and 18.11 inches in width, offering ample space for fixture mounting and workpiece clamping with high stability. Control is CNC-based, enabling precise digital control over machining operations across all three axes. This setup is ideal for complex milling tasks requiring high precision, rigidity, and production efficiency, suitable for aerospace, automotive, and mold-making industries. The combination of a high-power spindle, advanced BIG-PLUS tool holder system, and extensive tool capacity supports increased cutting depths, feed rates, and minimized downtime due to tool changes, optimizing overall machining throughput and accuracy.
