SMEC SL 65 / 1000 (SL 6500A) CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a robust 2-axis configuration, designed for high-precision turning operations. With a maximum swing of 40.55 inches and a turning diameter of 35.43 inches, it accommodates large workpieces efficiently. The machine is equipped with a 24-inch chuck, providing secure workholding for a variety of part sizes, and supports a bar capacity of 5.5 inches, making it suitable for both bar-fed and chucking applications. The inclusion of a tailstock enhances support for longer workpieces, ensuring stability and accuracy during machining. Control is managed via a CNC Fanuc Oi-TD (10.4") system, offering intuitive programming and reliable operation for complex turning tasks. The lathe’s substantial weight of 36,376 lbs contributes to vibration damping and overall rigidity, promoting consistent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. Engineered for versatility and durability, this machine is ideal for demanding production environments requiring high repeatability and precision in turning operations.
