Linear Rollerway VMC
Suited for Die-Mold Work
Well-suited for die-mold manufacturing, the heavy-
duty SVL-4525 linear rollerway vertical machining
center from Sharp Industries features travels of
45" x 25" x 20"; a high-speed, direct-drive 15,000-
rpm spindle; rapid traverse ranging to 1,417 ipm;
and a 24-hp motor.
The machining center comes equipped with
Schneeberger Monorail MR profiled linear roller
guideways for high precision and rigidity. The
rollers feature a convex "barrel" profile for a high
load-carrying capacity and reduced wear with
minimum roller friction.
The heaviest machine in its class at more
than 18,000 lbs, the SVL-4525 is said to be ideal
for high-precision mold work. Thermal stability
is maintained by a spindle oil chiller and electric
cabinet heat exchanger. It uses a FANUC Oi-MD
advanced control system with high-speed contour-
ing software and FANUC drives and motors.
Other standard features include a removable manual pulse generator
(MPG) handwheel, USB port and embedded Ethernet on the control panel,
spindle air blast, air gun and coolant gun, oil skimmer, chip conveyor, coolant-
through spindle prep, and automatic toolchanger air accumulator.
