XYZ SMX 3500
Medium-size milling capability for everyday precision components, repeat parts and fabrication support work.
Capability & Use
This machine performs similar work to the larger SMX 5000 but is typically used for medium-sized components and everyday production work. It allows precise machining of parts used in assemblies, fabrication, and manufacturing.
Typical applications
- Medium-sized brackets and mounting plates
- Precision components for machinery
- Parts used in fabrication projects
- Custom metal components
- Production batches of repeat parts
- Components prepared for assembly
Machine Capacity
- Milling
- Drilling
- Profiling
- General Engineering
- Production Runs
