The 2023 SMEC SLV500M RH Vertical Turning Center is a robust production machine designed for precision vertical turning and milling of large, heavy workpieces. Equipped with a 15-inch hydraulic chuck, 27.55-inch swing over bed, and a 25/35 horsepower spindle capable of 3000 RPM, this machine blends torque, rigidity, and smooth operation. The 12-station turret with 5000 RPM live tooling enables milling and drilling directly on the lathe, while the Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control ensures seamless CNC integration and programming flexibility. Compared to conventional horizontal turning centers, the SLV500M’s vertical design enhances chip evacuation and tool access, improving performance on heavy components. Its inclusion of both axial and radial live tool holders, along with the chip conveyor, oil skimmer, and coolant system, positions it as a superior multitasking machine for industrial users demanding accuracy, speed, and efficiency in a single setup.
