SMEC CO., LTD SL3500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC CO., LTD SL3500 is a horizontal machining center designed for precision turning applications with a maximum main spindle turning diameter of 16.54 inches and turning length capacity of up to 30.7 inches. It features a 12-inch main spindle chuck and a max swing diameter of 23.6 inches, accommodating bar diameters up to 3.6 inches. The spindle operates at speeds up to 2,500 RPM powered by a high-torque motor for robust performance. The machine utilizes a turret-type primary tool carrier with a capacity to hold 10 turning tools and 10 rotary tools, supporting single simultaneous cutting operation. It operates on two axes, with an X-axis travel of 9.45 inches and Z-axis travel of 33.7 inches. Both axes offer rapid traverse rates of 472 inches per minute, enabling efficient positioning and fast cycle times. Structural rigidity is enhanced by a cast iron frame and a 45-degree slant bed design that minimizes thermal displacement and vibration, while maintaining high accuracy during heavy-duty machining. Integrated box ways and torque tube construction further support long-term precision and stability. This machining center is well-suited for complex shape machining, off-center work, and multi-axis turning tasks in demanding industrial environments.
