SMEC SL 2000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 22.44-inch swing, allowing for the machining of larger diameter workpieces with precision and stability. Designed as a 2-axis machine, it provides efficient control over the X and Z axes, ideal for standard turning operations and symmetrical part production. The lathe is equipped with an 8-inch chuck, supporting a wide range of workholding options, and offers a bar capacity of 2.68 inches, enabling the processing of bar stock for continuous production runs. The maximum turning diameter is 14.17 inches, ensuring versatility for various turning applications. An integrated tailstock enhances support for longer workpieces, improving accuracy and reducing deflection during machining. The machine is controlled by a Fanuc Oi-TF CNC system, delivering reliable performance, user-friendly programming, and high repeatability for consistent part quality. With a compact footprint of 146.2 x 64.3 inches, it efficiently utilizes floor space in production environments. The lathe weighs 8,598 lbs, reflecting its robust construction and ability to maintain rigidity during heavy-duty operations. This combination of swing, chuck size, bar capacity, and CNC control makes the machine suitable for a broad range of precision turning tasks in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
