Redesigned Gantry Boring and Milling Center



SMTCL Americas offers the EGC2040, a redesigned large gantry boring and milling center, which is designed to provide increased reliability and performance to manufacturers of large parts. "Our engineers in Germany reduced the number of components on the machine, which has increased the machine's reliability and decreased the cost," said SMTCL's Chief Operating Officer Jerry McCarty. "By focusing on design and quality, we are able to provide our customers a better product at lower price."

The EGC2040 machine features a 6,000 RPM CAT 50 spindle with a German ZF gearbox for high torque. The machine also comes standard with coolant through the spindle, HEIDENHAIN scales on the X, Y and Z axes, and a 40-position automatic tool changer. The table on the machine is 78" x 157" and capable of handling 30,800 lbs. Travels on the machine are 165" in X, 88" in Y and 31" in Z.

The EGC2040 is controlled by the FANUC 0i-MD Control with 10.4" screen, USB, PCMIA, Ethernet capabilities, AICC II and a remote manual pulse generator.
