2018 SMEC SL2000T2Y2 CNC Lathe

The 2018 SMEC SL2000T2Y2 CNC Lathe is a high-efficiency multi-axis turning center featuring twin main spindles and twin BMT-style turrets—each with its own Y-axis—for simultaneous operations. Equipped with live-tooling and a sub-spindle, it offers X-travel of 8.54 in and Z-travel of 27.90 in, managing up to 35?in between centers and a 9 in swing over the bed. A powerful 25 HP spindle turns up to 5000 RPM through an A2-6 nose, driving precision in complex parts. The machine includes 12-station turret tooling, Fanuc?31i control, chip conveyor, tailstock, and steady rest—ideally geared to streamline intricate, multi-step jobs.

Compared to single-spindle or fixed-turret lathes, the SL2000T2Y2 stands out with its dual-spindle capability, programmable Y-axis offsets, and twin turret system—allowing operators to perform turning, milling, and backworking all in one fixture, significantly reducing cycle time and increasing throughput.
