The new SF Series Bridge mills features: (3) new Y axis options, 47”, 63” and 78”, with an X axis selection from 80” to 162” and Z axis of 31.5” This new narrower Y axis machine has roller linear ways on X and Y axis for faster feed rates and rapid traverse but still maintains a very rigid Z axis with box way construction. The spindle speeds are offered at 6,000 RPM with 35 HP and a 2 speed headstock, 10,000 RPM with a direct drive spindle that is directly coupled to the spindle motor for added rigidity and excellent acceleration and deceleration rates. There is also a 20,000 RPM direct drive spindle for the mold and die industries.

All SF Series machines come with 40 ATC and a fast cam-type ATC (3 sec tool to tool), Full CTS (300 PSI), Spindle chiller and ball screw support systems on machines 160” (4 Meters).

To ensure years of robust and accurate machining, SF bridge mills also sport heavy duty casting, large sized supporting columns and cross beam, step square beam and saddle. The table is ground for superior accuracy and longevity. The Z axis has self-aligning twin hydraulic counter balance system that ensures high speed movement without excessive loads on the axis and motor.
