SMEC LCV 650 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machine features work envelope dimensions of 53.15 inches (X), 25.59 inches (Y), and 25 inches (Z), allowing precise multi-axis machining. It is powered by a 14.75 horsepower spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 8,000 RPM, suitable for high-speed milling applications. The tool changer supports 24 automatic tool changes (# ATC), enhancing productivity and reducing downtime. The worktable dimensions are 25.59 inches wide by 61.02 inches long, providing ample surface area for large or multiple fixtures. The machine is controlled by a FANUC 0i-MD CNC system, a highly reliable and feature-rich controller that offers digital servo control for up to four axes simultaneously and includes advanced functions such as nano-smoothing for improved surface finish, AI Contour Control II for high-speed machining, and jerk control for smooth acceleration. The 0i-MD controller supports Ethernet connectivity and has precise incremental capabilities down to 0.001 mm, enabling accurate positioning. Its control architecture facilitates both automatic operation and manual intervention with flexible feed rates and spindle control. This system is robust for complex contouring and repetitive tasks with superior reliability and a long mean-time-between-failures, making it suitable for industrial milling operations requiring precision, speed, and tool management efficiency.
