Significant expansion of the machine park

With the commissioning of the SMEC SL 6500 AM, we are significantly expanding our production capacity. This robust machine is particularly impressive due to its high rigidity, excellent vibration damping and its tremendous performance in heavy-duty machining. This enables us to machine even large and complex workpieces economically and with precision.

• Linear guides on all axes for maximum stability
• 3-stage integrated gearbox in the headstock with torque of up to 6,657.2 Nm
• Spindle speed up to 1,500 rpm
• Maximum turning diameter of 900 mm
• Maximum turning length of 1,000 mm
• Servo turret with driven tools and BMT-85 tool holders
• High cutting capacity on the main spindle up to 45 kW
• High-performance turret with short cycle times
• High thermal stability for maximum precision and positioning accuracy
• Outstanding rigidity and optimum vibration damping for heavy-duty machining

With the SMEC SL 6500 AM, we are strengthening our mechanical manufacturing capabilities in the long term and laying the foundations to continue reliably meeting the highest quality standards and complex customer requirements in the future. The new lathe delivers greater efficiency, higher precision and maximum flexibility – and is therefore another important step for the future of our mechanical manufacturing.
