High Precision, Speed & More from SMS Champion SMV-40


CINCINNATI, OH - GBI Cincinnati, an industry leader in supplying machine tool technology, has built a reputation on providing customer-driven solutions to a broad array of precision milled-part challenges. The SMS SMV-40 Series is yet another step in providing these solutions ever more flexibly.

According to Kevin Bevan, President, "These SMS vertical machining centers are ideal for ultra precise die/mold work, as well as mixed volume, short run operations - or, at the other end of the production scale, dedicated high-volume applications."

With an X-axis of 1,000 mm, Y-axis of 520 mm and a Z-axis of 505 mm, the SMV-40 combines high performance milling and large machining capacity within a compact 2,800 mm x 2,185 mm x 3,000 mm space-saving footprint. Table size is 1150 mm x 520 mm. Maximum table load is 500 kg and 5 table T slots are standard.

Rapid traverse rates are 60 m/min in X-axis, 60 m/min in Z-axis and 30 m/min in Y-axis. Maximum acceleration of three axes is up to 1G (10 m/sec²) Ballscrews in all three axes are pre-tensioned to increase accuracy.

A fast arm-type dual servo-driven automatic tool changer (ATC) changes tools in 1 sec. Tool capacity, 24 tools; maximum tool weight, 8 kg, length, 300 mm, diameter, 80 mm (150 mm with no adjacent tool)

The SMS vertical machining centers include versatile high-speed linear guide ways in the X- & Y-axis and box ways in the Z-axis. Positioning accuracy is 8 µm, repeatability is 4 µm and circularity is 2.7 µm. A high-torque 18.5 kW Fanuc spindle motor with direct drive permits full horsepower at low spindle speeds. The 40-taper spindle delivers 50-12,000 RPM with semi-ceramic bearings to minimize heat. The headstock has been specifically designed to provide superior rigidity and precision cutting, even during full-power machining in steel.

To assure the rigidity required for heavy-duty cutting, the machine base is manufactured from high-quality mehanite cast iron, ensuring stability for years to come. The column structure is reinforced by cross ribs to upgrade torsional torque resistant capability.

No counter-balance weight on Z-axis design avoids vibration of chain, avoids oscillation caused by counter-balance weight that may affect movement stability on Z-axis. Another benefit is greatly reduced vibration when performing peck-drilling operations.

An automated lubrication system, a complete coolant system and splashguards with overlapping doors are standard. An optional rear flushing system provides powerful chip flushing and coupled with oversized chip disposal openings, eliminates chip deposit problems. The electrical cabinet is dust-proof. All wire through-holes are protected by water-resistant fittings to prevent oil moisture from entering. This extends electronic parts service life and assures maximum dependability.

The Fanuc 0i-MC features the latest technological advancements in a uniquely small space. The 8.4" color LCD and full keyboard conveniently swivel for ease of operation. Fanuc CNCs and associated spindle and servo drives have an exceptional reputation for reliability. For example, according to Fanuc, sub-system failures per month are nearly unheard of - 0.00495 on the CNC, 0.00099 on the servo drive and 0.00376 on the spindle drive.

Fanuc software in the 0i-MC is ideal for operators with varying levels of CNC experience, as it simplifies the transition from manual programming to G code programming. As the operator's skill level rises and/or part geometry complexity increases, the operator can easily move through various levels of part programming generation. The 0i-MC can be programmed offline or online, allowing the use of standard G code features available from Fanuc.
