SMEC CO., LTD SL 3500M HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC SL 3500M is a heavy-duty, ultra-precision horizontal turning center designed for high rigidity and reliability in demanding machining environments. Featuring a main spindle with a 12.000" chuck diameter, the machine delivers a maximum swing of 27.000" and supports a bar diameter up to 3.580", making it suitable for a wide range of workpiece sizes. The single main spindle operates at up to 2,500 RPM, with a standard 25 HP motor and an optional 30 HP configuration for enhanced cutting performance. The SL 3500M is equipped with a robust box-way construction, ensuring stability and accuracy during heavy-duty operations. Its advanced structural design incorporates features such as a radiator fan-like pin tube rib to minimize thermal expansion and maintain precision, while the separation of the spindle motor and gearbox reduces vibration for smoother operation. The machine supports two-axis control, allowing for efficient and precise turning tasks. With a maximum of one simultaneous cutting tool, the SL 3500M is optimized for straightforward, high-productivity turning applications. The combination of high spindle power, rigid construction, and advanced thermal management makes the SL 3500M an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking consistent, high-quality results in a compact and reliable platform.
