SMEC CO., LTD SL 2500M HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC CO., LTD SL 2500M is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision turning applications. It features a robust main spindle with a maximum turning length of 41.5 inches and a spindle chuck diameter of 8 inches, allowing it to accommodate sizable workpieces with a maximum swing of 26 inches. The spindle supports a maximum bar diameter of 2.68 inches and operates at speeds up to 4,500 RPM powered by a 20 HP motor, providing both power and speed for diverse machining tasks. Equipped with a BMT 65 primary tool carrier, the machine supports up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, enhancing its versatility for complex operations. The SL 2500M operates on a 2-axis system, suitable for a broad array of turning processes. Constructed with a rigid Meehanite cast bed and torque tube design, it ensures high stability and accuracy during heavy-duty machining. This model leverages advanced CNC controls, typically Fanuc, for precise motion and tool management. The machine’s design reduces non-cutting times and maintains a low center of gravity to enhance overall efficiency and dynamic stability. The spindle bearings and curvic coupling contribute to high clamping power and indexing precision, making it ideal for demanding industrial machining settings. The SL 2500M’s configuration balances power, precision, and tool capacity in a compact horizontal turning center.
