SOUTHWESTERN INDUSTRIES, INC. TRAK TRL 1440EX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The SOUTHWESTERN INDUSTRIES, INC. TRAK TRL 1440EX is a horizontal machining center equipped with a single main spindle featuring a maximum turning diameter of 7.0 inches and a maximum turning length of 40.0 inches. It supports a 6.0-inch spindle chuck diameter and a maximum swing of 14.0 inches with a maximum bar diameter of 1.56 inches. The spindle operates at speeds up to 2,400 RPM with a motor power of 5.0 HP, ensuring robust performance for medium-sized workpieces. The machine employs a slide-type primary tool carrier with one simultaneous cutting tool capability. It operates on a 2-axis system with an X-axis travel of 8.0 inches and a Z-axis travel of 40.0 inches. Both the X and Z axes feature maximum feed rates and rapid traverse rates of 100 inches per minute (ipm), with the Y-axis also capable of a maximum 100 ipm feed and rapid traverse, supporting precise and efficient machining operations. This configuration provides a balance of compactness and flexibility, suitable for detailed horizontal machining with controlled feed rates and moderate spindle power, making it appropriate for machining small to medium workpieces requiring precise turning and milling capabilities. The machine’s structured axis travel and spindle specifications offer versatility in applications such as aerospace and automotive component machining, where compact footprints and precise cuts are critical.
