SMEC SL 3500AY CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is a high-performance machine designed for precision turning operations, featuring Fanuc or Siemens controls for reliable and intuitive operation. With a maximum turning diameter of 10 inches and a maximum turning length of 20 inches, it is well-suited for a wide range of cylindrical workpieces. The spindle delivers speeds up to 4000 RPM, enabling efficient machining of various materials while maintaining accuracy and surface finish. Equipped with a 12-station tool turret, the lathe supports versatile tooling configurations for complex part production, reducing setup times and increasing productivity. The rapid traverse rate is 1200 inches per minute (IPM), allowing for swift tool movements and minimized non-cutting time. The machine’s robust construction ensures stability during high-speed operations, while the advanced control system provides precise positioning and repeatability. Ideal for both prototyping and production environments, this CNC lathe combines speed, accuracy, and flexibility for demanding manufacturing applications.
