STANKO SMF-SERIES HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Stanko SMF-Series is a robust horizontal machining center engineered for high-precision metal removal operations. This three-axis system features a substantial work table measuring 236 inches in length by 40.5 inches in width, providing ample capacity for large component machining. The machine utilizes a horizontal spindle configuration with an ISO 50 taper, delivering a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 4,000 RPM available. The spindle is powered by a 50 HP motor (30-minute rating), ensuring sufficient torque for demanding cutting operations across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Travel capabilities are expansive, with X-axis traverse of 163 inches, Y-axis options of 63 or 78 inches, and Z-axis movement of 41.5 inches, accommodating complex part geometries. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 394 inches per minute across all axes with consistent 98 ipm cutting feed rates, optimizing cycle times. An optional automatic tool changer (ATC) enhances operational efficiency for multi-tool applications. The gantry-style configuration with non-traveling spindle head ensures exceptional rigidity during both roughing and finishing operations, maintaining accuracy throughout extended production runs. This industrial-class machining center is well-suited for aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing environments requiring precision boring, milling, and drilling capabilities on substantial workpieces.
