SMEC SL 4500CXM 24″ CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a 30.5-inch swing, allowing for a maximum turning diameter of 24.41 inches, and an 18-inch chuck size designed to securely hold workpieces up to 4.63 inches in bar diameter. It operates on 3 axes, providing precise control in X, Y, and Z directions for versatile machining capabilities. The inclusion of a tailstock enhances support for longer workpieces during turning operations, improving accuracy and stability. Control is managed by a Fanuc Oi-TF CNC system, known for its reliability and user-friendly interface, facilitating complex and automated machining processes. The machine weighs 28,660 lbs, indicating a robust construction capable of maintaining rigidity and vibration resistance during heavy-duty turning tasks. This configuration is suitable for medium to large workpieces requiring precise, repeatable machining with consistent quality, ideal for applications in manufacturing sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and general engineering. The 3-axis setup enables standard turning, facing, and threading operations with enhanced positional accuracy and efficiency.
