Chevalier SMART-H/B2448IV

Q: How much does the Chevalier SMART-H/B2448IV cost?

The price estimate for the Chevalier SMART-H/B2448IV is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chevalier-smart-h-b2448iv#price; the request is passed to Chevalier Machinery or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Chevalier SMART-H/B2448IV that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Chevalier SMART-H/B2448IV is the shortest of the 24 in wide SMART-IV grinders: 47.2 in (1,200 mm) of grinding length by 23.6 in (600 mm) of width. It is the first model in the range on the big frame, and three things change with it. The wheel grows to Ø16 in x 2 in x Ø5 in, the spindle range widens to 500 to 2,200 rpm, and the cross feed speeds up to 0 to 16.4 fpm (0 to 5,000 mm/min).

Compared with the SMART-H/B2048IV, which has the same grinding length, this machine gives 33.5 in (850 mm) from table to wheel centerline instead of 28.7 in (730 mm), and 27.0 in (685 mm) of cross travel instead of 22.0 in (560 mm). Table load is 3,525 lb (1,600 kg). The extra height is what tall mould halves and stacked fixtures need.

The spindle motor is still 15 hp (11 kW). A larger wheel at the same power means a higher surface speed for a given rpm and a longer life between wheel changes, not a heavier cut. Table travel is 51.2 in (1,300 mm), with the H version's table at 16 to 98.4 fpm and the B version's at 0 to 65.6 fpm.

Net weight is 17,800 lb (8,100 kg). The maker's rows for table size and floor space are not printed cleanly for this model and are left off this page, so confirm both before ordering a chuck or pouring a foundation. Dressing with compensation is automatic, and the SMART iControl takes data by USB or Ethernet.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

23.6 in (600 mm) grinding width with 27.0 in (685 mm) of cross travel
33.5 in (850 mm) from table to wheel centerline for tall work
16 in diameter wheel on a spindle variable from 500 to 2,200 rpm
Cross feed speed of 0 to 16.4 fpm (0 to 5,000 mm/min)
Table carries 3,525 lb (1,600 kg)

Limitations

Spindle power is the same 15 hp (11 kW) as on the 12 in wide SMART-H/B1224IV
Grinding length is 47.2 in (1,200 mm), the shortest on the 24 in frame
Weighs 17,800 lb (8,100 kg), more than the longer SMART-H/B2064IV on the 20 in frame
The maker's table gives no clean table size or floor space figure for this model

Best For

Wide mould plates and die sets up to 23.6 in (600 mm) across Tall parts and fixtures that need 33.5 in (850 mm) under the wheel centerline Square-ish plates where width matters more than length Heavy single workpieces up to 3,525 lb (1,600 kg)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why choose the SMART-H/B2448IV over the SMART-H/B2048IV?

Both grind 47.2 in (1,200 mm) long. Against the SMART-H/B2048IV, this model is 23.6 in (600 mm) wide instead of 19.7 in (500 mm), gives 33.5 in (850 mm) to the wheel centerline instead of 28.7 in (730 mm), carries 3,525 lb (1,600 kg) instead of 2,755 lb (1,250 kg), and uses a 16 in wheel instead of a 14 in one.

02 What is the spindle speed range?

Spindle speed is variable from 500 to 2,200 rpm, driven by a 15 hp (11 kW) motor. The wheel is Ø16 in x 2 in x Ø5 in (Ø405 x 50 x Ø127 mm). The SMART-H/B2048IV, with its 14 in wheel, stops at 1,800 rpm.

03 What are the axis travels and feeds?

Table travel is 51.2 in (1,300 mm) and cross travel 27.0 in (685 mm). The table runs at 16 to 98.4 fpm on the H version and 0 to 65.6 fpm on the B version. Cross feed speed is 0 to 16.4 fpm (0 to 5,000 mm/min).

04 What should be checked before installing a SMART-H/B2448IV?

The net weight is 17,800 lb (8,100 kg), so the floor and the route to it need checking. The maker's table does not print the floor space or the table size cleanly for this model. Ask for a foundation drawing and the chuck mounting dimensions.
