SMEC SL 3500ALY/2200 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a **12" chuck size** and a **bar capacity of 4.06"**, suitable for medium to large workpieces. It operates on **3 axes**, enabling precise multi-directional machining with a power output of **3.52 hp** and a maximum spindle speed of **2,800 RPM**. The machine accommodates a maximum turning diameter of **16.93"** and a swing of **33.46"**, supporting versatile turning operations. The maximum machining length extends to **83.66"**, allowing for long parts to be processed in a single setup. It includes a **tailstock** for supporting longer workpieces during turning and **live tooling** capabilities, which facilitate secondary milling, drilling, and tapping operations directly on the lathe. The machine does not have a sub spindle, focusing on a streamlined primary spindle setup. Its physical footprint measures **257" in length by 85" in width** and weighs **23,150 lbs**, reflecting a substantial build designed for stability and heavy-duty turning tasks. This configuration is ideal for precision turning with enhanced functionality due to live tooling and tailstock support, making it suitable for complex part manufacturing in industries requiring medium to large-sized turned components.
