Self-Center SC-V40a : #40 Vertical Compact Machining Center

SELF-CENTER SC-V40a

It is a compact machining center designed to minimize installation space.
With a width of just 1,440 mm, it achieves one of the smallest footprints in the industry for #40 machining centers.
Pursuing a more streamlined design has improved travel speed and significantly reduced non-processing time.
Combining solid rigidity and machining accuracy, it meets the demand for miniaturization driven by current industry trends.

Features

1.Industry’s smallest class #40 compact machining center

A space-saving design with the smallest footprint among #40 machining centers.
The main unit has a footprint of just 1,440 x 3,245 mm, allowing you to maximize the use of your factory space.
For example, in the space previously occupied by three #40 machining centers from other manufacturers, the compact SC-V40a allows for the installation of four units. Even a single unit is easy to install, allowing for effective use of available space within the factory.

2. Spacious machining area

Despite its compact width of 1,440 mm, it achieves an impressive machining area with an X-axis stroke of 700 mm. This allows for the machining of large workpieces in a space-saving design, enhancing productivity per unit of installation footprint.

3. High-speed, Short-cycle machining

By reducing the distance from the spindle center to the sliding surface to one-third of that in conventional machines, we have minimized the moment load on the main unit. Through thorough structural analysis and simulation using CAE, we have lightweighted the moving parts while maintaining rigidity.
Featuring top-class high-speed performance among #40 machining centers, it reduces non-cutting time by 25% compared to competitors’ products. This contributes to shorter cycle times for a wide range of materials, including aluminum, steel, plastics, and brittle materials.

4. Thorough chip control

By ensuring effective chip removal and disposal, we prevent processing quality issues and minimize unexpected downtime, thereby enhancing productivity.
Tool magazine and feed axes are completely separated from the machining area to prevent issues caused by chips.
Despite being a vertical machining center, a center trough bed structure is adopted to double the chip discharge capability compared to conventional machines.

5. Contribution to the environment and sustainability

A space-saving design, which is the smallest class among #40 machining centers, also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions.
By miniaturizing the equipment, the moving parts and motors are smaller, allowing for minimal power requirements.Additionally, by controlling auxiliary equipment such as motors and pumps with proprietary software, we have reduced operating time. This has resulted in approximately a 35% reduction in power consumption compared to typical #40 machining centers from other manufacturers.

6. One-stop solution available for jig design and transport systems

Sugino Machine not only provides machining centers but also handles the setup of jigs and transport systems as a comprehensive service. From initial consideration during installation to adjustments after delivery, Sugino Machine offers a one-stop solution.
