SMEC SLV 500MR CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 27.56-inch swing, allowing it to accommodate substantial workpiece diameters. It operates on 3 axes, providing enhanced machining capability beyond basic 2-axis lathes by enabling complex turning, milling, and tapping operations. The machine includes a 12-inch chuck size for versatile workholding, supporting a maximum turning diameter of 19.68 inches. It is controlled by a Fanuc 0i series CNC system, known for robust and precise control over cutting operations, facilitating high accuracy and repeatability. The lathe weighs 15,873 lbs, indicating a solid and stable construction that can absorb cutting forces and reduce vibrations, critical for precision machining. This combination of swing capacity, axis control, and Fanuc CNC integration makes it suitable for producing medium to large-sized turned components with complex geometries, particularly in manufacturing environments requiring consistent high-quality output and operational flexibility.
