SMEC CO., LTD SL 3000M HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC CO., LTD SL 3000M is a horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty turning applications, featuring a robust single main spindle with a maximum turning length of 40.47 inches and a 10-inch chuck diameter. It supports a maximum spindle swing of 26 inches and accommodates a bar diameter up to 3.59 inches. The spindle operates at speeds up to 3,000 RPM with a power output of 25 HP, optionally upgradeable to 35 HP for enhanced performance. The machine incorporates a Curvic coupling turret allowing up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, optimizing tool versatility and ease of maintenance. Its structure is characterized by a rigid, 45-degree single tube bed design that minimizes bending and torsion during high-speed or heavy-duty operations, ensuring superior stiffness and precision. This configuration supports a 2-axis system maximizing productivity in horizontal machining. The wide guide area effectively absorbs cutting forces, enhancing stability. The turret’s Curvic coupling provides high clamping force and indexing accuracy. Overall, the SL 3000M combines robust spindle power, structural rigidity, and efficient tooling for precise, high-capacity horizontal turning tasks, suitable for demanding industrial manufacturing environments.
