VX-500 VMC engineered for unrivalled quality

The SVX- 500 vertical machining centre from Sharp Inc, is engineered to have unrivaled quality and outperform all other machines in its category. Sharp’s SVX-500 allows true 5-sided and 5-axis simultaneous machining. Unlike the 3-axis that requires a separate setup for cutting different sides of a part, the 5-axis machine requires the part to be set only once and rotated into a series of positions to machine each side without the need to reset the part.

All major castings of the SVX-500 are analysed using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to locate areas of stress and strain, multiple loading conditions from thermal, gravity, centrifugal and enforced displacement. Ribs locations are properly defined to maintain rigidity throughout the entire machine. The 5-axis is constructed using the box-in-box design to assure accuracy and rigidity under different cutting conditions. 

The specialities of the SVX-500 VMC is its fixed table design while head moves along X and Y axis for maximum rigidity. Box-in-box structure eliminates overhang on linear axes it has 23.6" x 31.8" x 19.7" travel (X,Y,Z). The other specialities include, trunnion table with A and C axis travel, 15,000 rpm Big Plus spindle and 60M/min (2,362 ipm) rapid.
