SMEC CO., LTD SL 2500Y HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC SL 2500Y Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance, heavy-duty turning center designed for precision and versatility in demanding production environments. Featuring a 4-axis configuration (X, Z, Y, B), this machine delivers simultaneous multi-axis control for advanced machining operations, including turning, milling, drilling, and tapping. The main spindle offers a maximum turning diameter of 14.170" (360 mm) and a turning length of 21.060" (535 mm), with a maximum swing of 25.600" (650 mm) and a chuck diameter of 8.000" (203 mm). It supports a maximum bar diameter of 2.680" (68 mm) and is equipped with a high-speed spindle capable of 4,500 RPM, delivering 15 HP for both main and sub-spindles to ensure robust cutting performance and high productivity. The machine integrates a 12-station turret for up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, allowing for flexible tooling setups and efficient part processing. Its rigid box guide structure and low-center-of-gravity 30° slant bed design enhance stability, accuracy, and rigidity during heavy cutting operations. The SL 2500Y also features synchronized C1 and C2 axis indexing for main and sub-spindles, enabling complex part configurations and integrated machining in a single setup. With advanced control systems, high-speed rapid traverse, and a built-in sub-spindle for back-side machining, this center is ideal for high-precision, high-efficiency manufacturing applications.
