Overview

The Sharp SVL-4525SX-F is a 15,000 rpm vertical machining center with 45.3 in (1150 mm) of X travel, 25 in (635 mm) of Y and 20.1 in (510 mm) of Z. Its table, 51.2 x 25 in (1300 x 635 mm), takes 1760 lb (800 kg).

Sharp describes the guideway layout as 2 high quality linear roller ways on X/Y/Z axis travel & 2 extra box ways on Y axis travel. The extra pair sits under the saddle, where a wide table overhangs most, and the 31.5 in (800 mm) from spindle center to column shows how deep the throat is. Ball screws are 1.57 in (40 mm) in diameter. Linear scales by Mitutoyo on three axes are a standard accessory here, which is unusual at this size and matters to anyone holding position over a long shift as the screws warm up.

Spindle power is 20/25 hp (15/18.5 kW) (continuous and short-term ratings) through a direct drive to a CAT-40 Big plus nose with ceramic bearings. The feed range is as wide as the rapids: cutting feed goes to 1417 ipm (36,000 mm/min). A 30-tool side-mount changer needs 2 sec tool to tool and 7 sec chip to chip, and limits tools to 2.95 in (75 mm) diameter when the pockets beside them are full.

The SVL-4528SX-F is the same machine with 28 in (711 mm) of Y. If the parts fit inside 25 in, nothing else in the table separates the two. Plan for 18,260 lb (8300 kg) on the floor, a 171.5 in (4356 mm) width and 35 kVA of 220 V three-phase supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the SVL-4525SX-F have?

A CAT-40 Big plus spindle on ceramic bearings, direct driven, with a maximum of 15,000 rpm in Sharp's table. The motor is rated 20/25 hp (15/18.5 kW) as continuous and short-term ratings. Sharp's overview summarises it as a 15k rpm, direct drive spindle with a 25 HP motor.

02 Are linear scales standard on the SVL-4525SX-F?

Yes. Sharp lists 3 axes linear scales (MITUTOYO) among the standard accessories, and repeats 3 axes Linear Scales (Mitutoyo) in the overview of the SVL-4500 series. Positioning accuracy is given as 0.0002 in (0.005 mm) and repeatability as 0.00012 in (0.003 mm).

03 How do the SVL-4525SX-F and SVL-4528SX-F differ?

In Y travel only, as far as Sharp's table shows: 25 in (635 mm) on the SVL-4525SX-F against 28 in (711 mm) on the SVL-4528SX-F. Both list 45.3 in (1150 mm) of X, 20.1 in (510 mm) of Z, the same 51.2 x 25 in (1300 x 635 mm) table and the same weight.

04 What options does Sharp list for the SVL-4525SX-F?

A FANUC 2 G Data server with Ethernet, 2 M memory, Nano smoothing, Bell type acceleration/deceleration and a riser block (3.9", 7.9"). The standard memory is 1 M. A flat type chip conveyor, CTS preparation at 70 bar and 4th axis wiring come with the machine.
