SOUTHWESTERN INDUSTRIES TRAK LPM VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features substantial three-axis travel capabilities with 31 inches on the X-axis, 18.5 inches on the Y-axis, and 21 inches on the Z-axis, accommodating medium to large workpieces for comprehensive machining operations. The machine is equipped with a spindle capable of reaching 8,000 RPM maximum, suitable for precision cutting applications across various materials. The ISO 40 spindle taper ensures compatibility with standard tooling systems widely available in manufacturing environments. Power delivery is managed through a robust 15 HP main motor rated for continuous operation, providing the torque and cutting force necessary for demanding machining tasks. The 16-position automatic tool changer (ATC) enables rapid tool exchanges without manual intervention, significantly reducing cycle times and improving productivity on multi-operation parts. This capability is particularly valuable for complex components requiring multiple cutting tools and techniques. The machine's footprint of approximately 14 feet in length, 7.5 feet in width, and 9 feet in height positions it as a floor-mounted industrial system suitable for established machine shops and manufacturing facilities. The combination of travel ranges, spindle specifications, and tooling capacity makes this machine versatile for producing precision machined components across industries including aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing. The ISO 40 taper and 16-position tool changer configuration support efficient production runs while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality.
