SMEC SL 45 / 2200 BB (SL 4500CX) CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a 30.5-inch swing and an 18-inch chuck size, enabling the machining of parts up to 30.5 inches in diameter with a bar capacity of 4.63 inches. It operates on a 2-axis system, typically X and Z axes, for precise control of diameter and length dimensions. The built-in tailstock supports longer workpieces and enhances rigidity during turning operations. With CNC control, it offers automated, high-precision machining with repeatability often beyond ±0.0025 mm, suitable for complex turning tasks requiring consistent accuracy. The machine weighs 28,660 lbs, indicating a robust, stable construction essential for reducing vibration and maintaining surface finish quality during heavy-duty machining. This lathe is ideal for components requiring diameters up to 30.5 inches and bar stock up to nearly 4.63 inches, supporting a wide range of industrial turning applications. The CNC system allows for automated tool positioning and operation, improving productivity and precision compared to manual lathes.
