Economical, Large Horizontal Turning Center



SMTCL has announced the development of a new horizontal turning center, the EHC125300. "This machine demonstrates SMTCL's commitment to United States' job shop customers by allowing them to get a large high-quality machine tool at a cost-effective price," said a company spokesperson. SMTCL's National Sales Representative Chad Turner said, "Previously, major companies were not able to outsource large turning work, because many job shops did not have the machine tools to do the work accurately or cost effectively."

The EHC125300 is a high precision CNC horizontal lathe featuring swing over the bed of 1,250 mm or 49". The machine also can handle parts up to 3 m in length or 118". Another new product, the EHC125500 can handle parts up to 5 m or 196" in length. The machine can handle shaft parts weighing up to 11,000 lbs. The EHC125300 comes standard with a 1,000 mm chuck, eight position turret, steady rest, hydraulic tailstock and a chip conveyor.

Jerry McCarty, COO of SMTCL, added, "We use worldwide components on this machine. In addition to the high-quality FANUC 0i-TF control and FANUC motors, the machine uses THK ball screws from Japan, NSK spindle bearings from Japan, a German Stober Gear Box and a German Sauter Turret. The machine weighs 44,000 lbs. and is priced under $300,000."
