SMART MACHINE TOOL SM 965 (CAT50, 6K) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust CAT50 (BIG PLUS) spindle taper, delivering exceptional rigidity and precision for heavy-duty machining applications. The machine offers generous travel distances of 35.43 inches (X), 25.59 inches (Y), and 24.02 inches (Z), enabling the processing of large and complex workpieces. The worktable measures 43.31 inches in length and 25.59 inches in width, supporting substantial part sizes and configurations. Equipped with a 24.93 hp spindle and a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, the machine ensures high material removal rates and efficient cutting performance across a wide range of materials. The automatic tool changer (ATC) has a capacity of 30 tools, facilitating rapid and seamless tool changes to maximize productivity and minimize downtime. The BIG PLUS dual-contact spindle system enhances toolholder rigidity by engaging both the taper and the flange face, significantly reducing chatter and improving dimensional accuracy, especially under high cutting loads. The CNC control system provides precise axis management, ensuring tight tolerances and repeatability for demanding manufacturing tasks. This machine is ideal for industries requiring high-precision, high-efficiency milling, including aerospace, automotive, and mold making.
