YAMA SEIKI GOODWAY SW-42 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The YAMA SEIKI GOODWAY SW-42 is a high-performance Swiss-type turning center engineered for precision machining of small to medium-sized components. Featuring a maximum machining diameter of 1.650 inches (42mm), the machine incorporates dual spindles—a main spindle and sub-spindle—both operating at 6,000 RPM with 10 HP and 5 HP output respectively, delivering sufficient torque for heavy-duty cutting operations. The hybrid guide bush design allows operators to select between bush and bushless modes based on specific production requirements, with maximum sub-spindle turning lengths of 4.330 inches under bushless configuration. The machine offers comprehensive five-axis control enabling simultaneous main and sub-spindle operations for enhanced productivity and reduced cycle times. Its flexible tooling system accommodates up to five turning tools and five rotary live tools on both primary and secondary tool carriers, facilitating complex operations including turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and cylindrical coordinate interpolation. Standard secondary mill/drill capabilities function on-center, off-center, and with both C-axis and Y-axis control, enabling complete part finishing in a single setup. The rotary hydraulic cylinder clamping mechanism provides substantial clamping force for demanding applications, while the precision C3-class ball screws and FANUC alpha i series servo motors ensure repeatable accuracy. Advanced features include deep hole drilling capability via U-Drill devices on the sub-spindle and optional OCR oscillation cutting to prevent chip entanglement. This machine is ideally suited for automotive, medical device, and precision component manufacturing industries requiring high-speed, multi-function Swiss turning capabilities.
