SMEC SL 2500BY CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 25.59-inch swing and a 10-inch chuck size, accommodating bar stock up to 3.03 inches in diameter. It offers a maximum turning diameter of 14.17 inches, enabling the machining of moderately large workpieces. The machine operates on a 4-axis configuration, allowing for advanced multi-dimensional machining capabilities such as off-center turning and synchronized tool movement for complex part geometries. Control is provided by the Fanuc Oi-TF CNC system, known for its reliability and precision in automation and programming. The machine's substantial weight of 13,228 lbs ensures stability and vibration dampening during heavy-duty cutting operations, which enhances machining accuracy and surface finish quality. This lathe is suitable for a range of industrial turning applications, from straightforward cylindrical workpieces to more intricate components requiring synchronization of multiple axes. Its bar capacity and chuck size make it ideal for small to medium batch production runs requiring high precision and repeatability. Overall, the combination of a 4-axis system with Fanuc CNC control and robust physical characteristics supports versatile, precise, and efficient manufacturing processes.
