SMEC CO., LTD SL 2500MS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC SL 2500MS is a heavy-duty horizontal turning center designed for integrated, multi-spindle machining operations. Featuring an 8-inch chuck diameter and dual main spindles operating at 4,000 RPM with 25 HP each, this machine delivers robust cutting performance for precision turning applications. The BMT 65 tool carrier supports up to 12 turning tools with single-axis simultaneous cutting capability, enabling efficient tool indexing with a 0.2-second cycle time. The machine utilizes a 45-degree torque tube type bed construction that provides exceptional rigidity and supports heavy-duty turning operations while maintaining a low center of gravity for stability. With three axes of motion, the SL 2500MS accommodates a swing over bed of 650mm and maximum machining diameter of 354mm with 460mm length capacity. The dual-spindle configuration with synchronized C1-axis (main spindle) and C2-axis (sub-spindle) indexing provides exceptional machining flexibility for complex workpiece configurations. The machine's Fanuc Series controller ensures precise positioning and reliable operation. One-piece Meehanite casting with heavily ribbed design enhances structural rigidity and reduces non-cutting time, significantly improving productivity. The SL 2500MS is engineered for manufacturers requiring integrated machining capabilities in a single setup, combining turning, boring, and facing operations with minimal repositioning.
