SMS AC-300-2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SMS AC-300-2 is a dual-spindle vertical machining center optimized for high-productivity turning and milling operations on complex workpieces. It features two vertically oriented main spindles, each delivering 4,000 RPM and 25 HP, with a maximum turning diameter of 16 inches and a chuck diameter of 15 inches, enabling versatile machining of medium to large parts. The machine supports 12 tools per spindle turret, with the capability to simultaneously operate two cutting tools, enhancing throughput and operational flexibility. It operates on a 4-axis configuration with an X-axis travel of 8 inches, Y-axis travel of 650 ipm rapid traverse rate, and a Z-axis travel of 14 inches, also capable of 650 ipm rapid movements, suitable for precise and efficient material removal. The AC-300-2 is designed with preloaded roller radial bearings and ball thrust bearings in the spindles for high accuracy and thermal stability during extended machining cycles. Enhanced features include the ability to machine two identical or different parts in parallel, with integrated automation options such as robotic loading and in-line gauging for automated quality control. Its rigid construction supports stable, high-torque cutting and reliable performance under continuous operation, accommodating both stand-alone and integrated manufacturing systems. The machine supports optional systems like tailstock quills and automatic parts handling to further boost productivity, making it suitable for diverse manufacturing environments requiring medium to high-volume, precision production.
