SYIL L2 CNC Lathe: Compact, High Precision Turning
The SYIL L2 CNC lathe is engineered for small, intricate components that demand tight tolerances and consistent repeatability. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for high precision work, while its advanced features support a wide range of specialist applications.
Key Capabilities of the SYIL L2
- 8-inch hydraulic chuck for secure, versatile workholding
- Maximum turning diameter of ø20” (ø510mm) for flexible part sizing
- Through hole diameter of ø2.6” (ø66mm) for machining longer components
- Multi station servo tool turret, reducing setup time and increasing machining flexibility
As a result, this machine enables efficient production of small batch, high accuracy components. Moreover, it supports the manufacture of bespoke fasteners where consistency and reliability are essential.
SYIL L3 CNC Lathe: Multi Axis Performance for Complex Components
The SYIL L3 CNC lathe brings advanced multi axis capability to our Willenhall facility. It enables the production of more complex turned components with greater efficiency and reduced lead times. This is especially valuable for customers requiring intricate geometries and demanding specifications.
Key Features of the SYIL L3
- 8-inch hydraulic chuck for robust clamping
- Maximum swing diameter of ø500mm, supporting larger workpieces
- Through hole diameter of ø63mm for elongated parts
- Sauter servo turret with live tooling, delivering power driven tool speeds up to 5,000 rpm
- Y axis functionality, enabling milling operations within the turning cycle
Therefore, intricate machining tasks can be completed in fewer setups, improving accuracy and accelerating turnaround times. In addition, this advanced CNC machinery allows us to integrate turning and milling operations, which further enhances our precision CNC machining capability.
SYIL X9 Vertical Mill: High Precision Milling at Scale
The SYIL X9 vertical mill is designed for high precision milling operations and offers a substantial working envelope for diverse applications. Its rigidity, speed, and stability make it ideal for producing complex milled components with tight tolerances.
