Southwestern Industries, Inc. TRAK DPM SX2P VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a rigid 49" x 9" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,320 lbs, providing a stable platform for heavy-duty machining tasks. It operates on a vertical spindle with an R8 taper, manually loaded with a single tooling position, and delivers 3 HP motor power rated for 30-minute intervals. The spindle offers speeds up to 4,200 RPM with an optional increase to 5,000 RPM, enabling versatility across various milling applications. The machine supports three linear axes (X, Y, and Z) with maximum travels of 32", 16", and 27" respectively, each capable of feed rates up to 20 inches per minute and rapid traverse up to 150 inches per minute, facilitating efficient and precise material removal. The absence of a U-axis indicates operation limited to conventional 3-axis movements. Manual tool changes eliminate automatic tool changer complexity, suitable for low-volume or specialized production. Overall, the machine is designed for ruggedness and precision, ideal for machining large and heavy parts requiring vertical orientation and fine feed control. Its vertical spindle layout and robust table build ensure effective handling of a wide range of metalworking tasks with dependable spindle speed regulation and manual tooling adjustments.
