Technical Description
The SMEC Co., Ltd SL 4500Y is a heavy-duty, ultra-precision horizontal machining center designed for demanding turning applications. Featuring a robust 45-degree slant bed with a torque tube design, the machine ensures long-term rigidity, superior dampening characteristics, and high machining accuracy. The main spindle has a chuck diameter of 15.000" and a maximum swing of 38.000", supporting large workpieces with precision. The single main spindle delivers 2,000 rpm and 40.0 HP, providing ample power for heavy-duty cutting operations. The SL 4500Y is equipped with a BMT 75 primary tool carrier and a 12-station turret, allowing for flexible tooling configurations and efficient tool changes. The machine supports up to 12 turning tools, with the capability for one simultaneous cutting tool operation. With three controlled axes (X, Y, Z), the SL 4500Y enables complex machining tasks, including multi-axis interpolation for enhanced part geometry. The Y-axis, realized through synchronized X1 and X2-axis movement, expands machining versatility while maintaining a low machine profile for improved stability. Advanced engineering features such as integrated box ways, high-output converting transmission, and a rigid cast iron structure further enhance productivity, accuracy, and durability. The SL 4500Y is ideal for high-volume, high-precision turning environments, offering reliable performance, efficient chip removal, and operator-friendly access.
