Southwestern Industries, Inc. TRAK K4SX VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 50.000" (L) x 10.000" (W) table, capable of supporting workpieces up to 850 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining operations. The spindle is configured for vertical operation and utilizes an NMTB 40 taper, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of tooling and providing reliable tool retention through a drawbar system. With a maximum spindle speed of 3,950 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 5.0 HP, the machine delivers consistent performance for demanding milling tasks. Tooling is managed manually, supporting a single tool at a time, which is ideal for applications where frequent tool changes are not required. The machine offers two axes of travel: X-axis movement up to 32.000" and Y-axis movement up to 16.500", both with a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 100 inches per minute, enabling efficient material removal and precise positioning. The Z-axis also provides 16.500" of travel, matching the Y-axis in feed and rapid traverse capabilities. The absence of a U-axis indicates a straightforward, two-axis configuration, suitable for standard milling operations. The NMTB 40 taper ensures compatibility with a variety of tool holders, including those designed for quick change systems, and the machine's design supports both manual and automated tooling setups. This configuration is well-suited for general-purpose milling, offering a balance of power, precision, and versatility for a range of industrial applications.
