SMS Challenger pick-up vertical turning machines are multi-functional turning centers with a suspended spindle. The inverted spindle considerably simplifies loading and unloading via the built-in gantry loader. Free chip removal permits greater precision during machining. The ample work area window on the Challenger pick-up vertical turning machine also enables flexible feeding. ADVANTAGES HOW TO BENEFIT FROM SMS CHALLENGER PICK-UP VERTICAL TURNING MACHINES ENHANCED PERFORMANCE SMS Challenger pick-up vertical turning machines feature a powerful motor spindle for high torsional moments and axial loads at speeds up to 4,000 rpm. The slide system carries the workpiece into the closed working area for multi-function machining. TOP PRECISION The cast iron bed and guide rails offer high dynamic rigidity and ensure the structural integrity required for highly precise and even metal cutting. The default X-axis and optional Z-axis with absolute linear scales enable ideal repeatability. MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY SMS Challenger vertical turning machines can be optionally equipped with an automatic 12-part tool changer, grinding spindle, drilling, milling and thread cutting tools or a combination of turning tools, turrets and multiple spindles. IDEAL ERGONOMICS SMS Challenger vertical turning machines have large work area windows for flexible feeding. Free chip removal permits greater precision during machining and reduces environmental pollution. Accessibility from the front and rear simplifies maintenance activities.
