SMTCL BM850T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a compact yet capable design optimized for small to medium-sized production work. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 1,320 lbs on a 39.4" x 19.6" work table, providing adequate support for diverse machining applications. The vertical spindle utilizes a CT40 taper interface, a widely adopted standard in modern CNC operations that balances rigidity and versatility across various cutting tasks. Operating at 8,000 RPM maximum with 15 HP (30-minute rating), the spindle delivers sufficient power for aggressive material removal and precision finishing operations. The three-axis configuration provides 31.5" of X-axis travel, 19.7" of Y-axis travel, and 21.2" of Z-axis travel, enabling comprehensive access to workpieces for multi-sided machining requirements. The automatic tool changer (ATC) comes standard with 16-tool capacity, expandable to 24 tools optionally, facilitating rapid tool changes and minimizing non-productive cycle time. This configuration allows operators to perform complex multi-operation sequences without manual intervention. The machine's specifications make it well-suited for job shops, tool and die facilities, and manufacturing environments requiring flexible, reliable milling capabilities with reasonable throughput. The combination of adequate spindle power, respectable rapid traverse rates, and tool storage flexibility enables efficient production of detailed components across aluminum, steel, and composite materials, while maintaining the precision and repeatability essential for modern manufacturing standards.
