SMEC SL 2000ASY CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 25.59-inch swing and a 6-inch chuck size, enabling machining of parts with a turning diameter up to 15.55 inches. It supports a bar capacity of 2.05 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces for a variety of turning operations. The machine operates with 4 axes, which allows for enhanced flexibility and complex machining tasks beyond basic two-axis turning, including off-center operations or milling functions integrated within the lathe. Control is managed via a Fanuc Oi-TF CNC system, providing reliable, precise computer numerical control for high accuracy and repeatability in part production. Weighing 9,149 lbs, the machine has a robust build providing stability during heavy-duty machining processes. This combination of features suits mid-sized turning and milling operations requiring both capacity and precision, making it suitable for automotive, aerospace, and general engineering part manufacturing where intricate geometries and tight tolerances are needed. The 4-axis capability notably expands operational versatility compared to standard 2- or 3-axis lathes, enabling tasks such as helical milling, tapping, and multi-side machining in a single setup. The CNC control system ensures programmability for complex machining sequences and optimized cycle times, sustaining productivity and quality in batch or custom production environments.
