SMEC LCV 30LB VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMEC LCV 30LB is a traveling column vertical machining center engineered for heavy-duty precision manufacturing of long, linear components. It features extensive X-axis travel of 78.74 inches, complemented by Y and Z-axis travels of 13.78 inches each, enabling machining of extended workpieces with exceptional stability. The machine utilizes a fixed table configuration measuring 86.61 inches in length by 15.75 inches in width, optimizing rigidity during machining of heavy components between centers. The spindle operates at 10,000 RPM with a BT30 taper, delivering adequate torque for aggressive material removal across diverse applications. Rapid traverse rates of 26 m/min on the X-axis and 48 m/min on both Y and Z-axes facilitate quick positioning and cycle time reduction. The 16-position automatic tool changer provides rapid tool-to-tool change time of 0.7 seconds, minimizing non-cutting time and enhancing productivity. The machine is controlled by a FANUC 0i-MD CNC system, ensuring reliable multi-axis coordination and advanced programming capabilities. Designed specifically for traveling column architecture, the LCV 30LB excels in applications requiring long workpiece accommodation while maintaining the stability and accuracy necessary for precision component manufacturing. Its compact footprint relative to working capacity and robust construction make it suitable for aerospace, industrial, and large-component manufacturing environments where extended travel capabilities combined with repeatable precision are critical performance requirements.
