The Southwestern Industries TRAK TRL 1630SX is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling operations on smaller workpieces. Featuring a single main spindle with an 8-inch chuck diameter and 16-inch maximum swing capacity, the machine accommodates parts up to approximately 16 inches in diameter. The spindle operates at 2,500 RPM with 7.50 horsepower, providing robust cutting power for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The two-axis configuration includes X-axis travel of 8.5 inches and Z-axis travel of 40 inches, enabling comprehensive workpiece positioning. Both axes deliver rapid traverse and cutting feed rates of 100 ipm, ensuring efficient material removal and quick positioning between operations. The machine utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier with capacity for one simultaneous cutting tool, optimizing space efficiency while maintaining operational simplicity. This configuration makes the TRL 1630SX ideal for job shops and smaller production environments requiring precision horizontal machining capabilities without the complexity and footprint of larger multi-spindle centers. The compact design, combined with reliable spindle performance and generous Z-axis travel, positions this machine as a versatile solution for diverse machining applications including facing, boring, threading, and profiling operations on medium-sized parts.
