SMEC CO., LTD SL 2500SY HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC CO., LTD SL 2500SY is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for high-precision turning operations. It features a main spindle capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 14.170 inches and a maximum turning length of 20.470 inches, with a robust 8-inch diameter chuck and a maximum swing of 25.600 inches. The spindle supports a bar diameter up to 2.680 inches and operates at a speed of up to 4,500 RPM, driven by a 15 HP motor. The machine is equipped with one main spindle and an additional sub spindle with 10 HP, enhancing productivity by enabling simultaneous work processes. The primary tool carrier is a turret type, supporting up to 12 turning tools as well as 12 rotary tools, though only one tool may perform cutting simultaneously. It operates with four CNC axes, allowing complex machining capabilities including Y-axis machining for detailed contouring and off-center features. The machine’s design incorporates a low center of gravity with a 30° slant bed to minimize vibration and thermal expansion, ensuring high machining accuracy and stability during heavy-duty operations. This combination of features makes the SL 2500SY suitable for precision metalworking tasks requiring robust performance and versatility in production environments.
