Maximize your manufacturing efficiency with the Shinzawa S56-MT traveling column vertical machining center. This innovative CNC machine features a space-saving horizontal column design that delivers exceptional rigidity and high-speed performance. With its dual-pallet configuration, the S56-MT enables simultaneous machining and loading/unloading operations, significantly reducing idle time and boosting productivity. Equipped with a powerful 12,000 RPM direct-drive spindle, 24-tool magazine, and rapid traverses up to 1,181 ipm (30 m/min), this compact yet versatile VMC is perfect for high-mix, low-to-medium volume production environments.
The Shinzawa S56-MT traveling column machining center is engineered to optimize floor space utilization while providing the speed, precision, and flexibility required in modern manufacturing. By incorporating a horizontal column design, this machine achieves superior structural rigidity and dynamic stability, ensuring consistent accuracy even during high-speed cutting. The dual-pallet system allows operators to load and unload parts on one pallet while the spindle works on the other, minimizing non-cutting time and increasing overall efficiency. With its advanced features and compact footprint, the S56-MT is an ideal solution for job shops, contract manufacturers, and high-mix production facilities looking to improve throughput and reduce lead times.
