SMTCL FBC130 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The SMTCL FBC130 Horizontal Machining Center is a heavy-duty CNC machine designed for high-precision horizontal milling, boring, and drilling operations. It features a large worktable measuring 70.8" x 63" (optional 78" x 63") capable of supporting workpieces up to 22,000 lbs, enabling machining of sizeable and heavy components. The machine employs a horizontal spindle with a #50 taper, delivering up to 2,000 RPM and powered by a robust 40 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, ensuring strong cutting performance. The spindle orientation and power make it ideal for deep-hole boring and surface machining. The machine operates on three CNC axes (X, Y, Z) with an optional fourth U-axis for enhanced flexibility. Axial travels include 157.4" in X, 63" in Y, and Z axis travel (not explicitly specified in inches here), with a rapid traverse rate of 354 inches per minute across axes. The X-axis employs dual-motor double-gear rack drive technology to improve drive force and minimize backlash. A 40-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) equips the machine to support complex machining tasks without manual intervention. Optional features include a rotary table for enhanced part positioning and a U-axis for extended motion control. The machine is controlled by either Siemens 840D or optional Fanuc 18i CNC systems, providing reliable and precise control. It is suited for heavy-duty machining with high accuracy and repeatability, making it applicable for aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery manufacturing environments requiring robust horizontal machining capability.
