    Enhanced performance

    SMS Crusader vertical turning machines are equipped with a powerful SMS spindle for high torques and axial loads at speeds up to 4,000 rpm. The solid basic machine body is equipped with powerful axis drives to enable high accelerations and feed rates.

    Top precision

    The machine column is designed in a highly ribbed, welded steel construction with preloaded roller guides and guarantees a high level of dynamic rigidity for constant high-precision cutting results. The optional glass scales provide ideal repeatability.

    Maximum flexibility

    SMS Crusader vertical turning machines can optionally be equipped for individual requirements with built-in tailstocks, automatic loading and unloading, integrated workpiece measurement and tool monitoring. 

    Ideal ergonomics

    Vertical SMS Crusader turning centers are available as left or right hand version with the spindle on the left or right. Their compact design takes up less floor space and permits easy access for loading.

    APPLICATIONS

    TOP PERFORMANCE FOR MAXIMUM PRECISION

    SMS Crusader vertical turning machines can easily be adapted for loading via gantries or robots to achieve greater efficiency and throughput. Affordable cost and high precision make them the perfect standard turning center for large and small manufacturers with medium to high production quantities.
