SMTCL GTC10080 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC vertical machining center designed for precision turning operations on large cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a maximum turning diameter of 49.200 inches and a maximum turning length of 31.400 inches, enabling the machining of substantial components. The 39.300-inch chuck diameter securely holds bar stock, while the 55.100-inch maximum swing specification indicates the largest diameter part that can rotate without mechanical interference near the chucking area. Operating at 400 RPM with 60 horsepower, this vertical machining center delivers substantial torque and power suitable for heavy-duty cutting operations, including drilling large diameter holes and machining features on large diameter parts. The 2-axis configuration provides control along the X-axis (diameter adjustment) and Z-axis (length movement), making it ideal for producing symmetrical parts such as shafts and bushings. With a 12-tool turret capacity and one simultaneous cutting tool, operators can execute sequential turning operations efficiently without frequent tool changes. The X and Z axis travel of 27.550 inches each define the machine's workspace and determine the effective maximum workpiece dimensions achievable. This specification class CNC vertical machining center achieves precision tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches with high repeatability, making it suitable for applications requiring tight dimensional control in industries such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing. The combination of large capacity, substantial power, and robust spindle performance makes this machine well-suited for production runs of precision-turned components.
