The Southwestern Industries TRAK TRL 1840SX is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling operations on cylindrical workpieces. Featuring a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 9.000 inches and turning length capacity of 40.250 inches, this machine accommodates workpieces with a chuck diameter of 8.000 inches and maximum swing of 18.500 inches. The spindle operates at 2,500 RPM with 10 horsepower output, delivering robust cutting performance for heavy-duty applications. The machine utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier supporting one simultaneous cutting tool, making it ideal for dedicated turning operations. Operating on two axes (X and Z), the TRL 1840SX provides 9.000 inches of X-axis travel and 40.000 inches of Z-axis travel, enabling versatile workpiece positioning. Both axes deliver impressive performance with maximum feed rates and rapid traverse rates of 100 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. This configuration makes the machine particularly suitable for high-precision shaft and sleeve work, where the extended Z-axis travel accommodates longer components while maintaining rigidity. The compact footprint and straightforward two-axis design make it an economical choice for job shops and dedicated production environments requiring reliable turning capabilities without the complexity of multi-axis systems.
