SMEC SL 3500BLM CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a 26.79-inch swing capacity and a 15-inch chuck size, enabling machining of medium to large workpieces with precision. It operates on a 3-axis system, providing movement along the X, Y, and Z axes for enhanced versatility in turning operations. The machine accommodates a maximum turning diameter of 19.7 inches, allowing it to handle substantial part sizes. Equipped with a tailstock, it supports long workpieces securely during machining, improving stability and accuracy. Control is managed via a Fanuc Oi-TF CNC system, known for reliability and user-friendly programming interfaces suitable for complex tool paths and high-precision tasks. Weighing 21,000 lbs, the lathe's robust construction ensures rigidity and vibration resistance, essential for maintaining tight tolerances and superior surface finishes in heavy-duty turning operations. This combination of features makes it ideal for precision manufacturing applications requiring moderate-sized parts with high-quality finishes and repeatability.
