SYIL L2

Q: How much does the SYIL L2 cost?

The price estimate for the SYIL L2 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/syil-l2#price; the request is passed to SYIL or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the SYIL L2 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 SYIL L2 is a two-axis CNC turning center for chuck work: a 200 mm (7.9 in) chuck on an A2-6 spindle nose, a maximum workpiece diameter of ø380 mm (15.0 in) and a maximum workpiece length of 300 mm (11.8 in). It is the entry model of SYIL's three L lathes and the only one offered with a choice of 8 or 12 turret stations.

Short and wide is the shape of part it suits. Z travel is 360 mm (14.2 in) and X travel 200 mm (7.9 in), so flanges, discs, bushings and short shafts are the natural work, and anything long needs the bigger machines. The spindle bore is ø66 mm (2.6 in) with a through-bore of ø52 mm (2.0 in), which sets the limit for bar fed through the spindle.

Spindle power is listed as 11/15 kW (14.8/20.1 hp) and the top speed is 4,000 rpm. The servo turret is listed with 8/12 tools, a tool shank size of 25 × 25 / 20 × 20 mm and a boring bar diameter of ø40/ø32 mm. SYIL also lists a 12-tool turret in 25x25mm block type as an option, so the turret and shank size have to be fixed in the order. Both axes rapid at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm).

The L2 column of SYIL's lathe table shows no live tooling, C axis or counter spindle. A hydraulic tailstock is an option, not standard equipment, as are the chip conveyor with its pickup trolley, the Renishaw tool setter and the parts catcher. Buyers who need milling on the turret should look at the SYIL L3, which has a Power Turret.

The machine is compact: 1,775 × 1,600 × 1,690 mm (69.9 × 63.0 × 66.5 in) and 3,050 kg (6,724 lb). Control is the Siemens SINUMERIK 828D, standard across the SYIL range, and the ball screws and linear guides are from THK.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

ø380 mm (15.0 in) maximum workpiece diameter on a machine 1,775 mm long
Spindle power of 11/15 kW (14.8/20.1 hp) with a 4,000 rpm top speed
ø52 mm (2.0 in) through-spindle bore for bar work
Servo turret available with 8 or 12 stations
Rapids of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in both X and Z
Siemens SINUMERIK 828D as standard

Limitations

Maximum workpiece length is 300 mm (11.8 in), so shaft work is limited
No live tooling, C axis or counter spindle appears in the L2 specification
The tailstock is a hydraulic option, not part of the base machine
Tool count and shank size are printed as pairs (8/12 tools, 25 × 25 / 20 × 20 mm), so the tooling must be settled when ordering
Chip conveyor, tool setter and parts catcher are options

Best For

Flanges, discs and bushings up to ø380 mm (15.0 in) Short turned parts within 300 mm (11.8 in) of length Bar work through the ø52 mm (2.0 in) spindle bore with the optional parts catcher Shops that want a turning center on a 1,775 × 1,600 mm footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size parts can the SYIL L2 turn?

SYIL lists a maximum workpiece diameter of ø380 mm (15.0 in) and a maximum workpiece length of 300 mm (11.8 in). Swing over the bed is ø510 mm (20.1 in) and swing over the carriage ø260 mm (10.2 in). The chuck is 200 mm (7.9 in), and the travels are 200 mm (7.9 in) in X and 360 mm (14.2 in) in Z.

02 Does the L2 have live tooling or a Y axis?

No. SYIL's comparison table leaves the live tooling, C-axis, Y-axis and counter-spindle rows empty for the L2 and describes its turret as a servo turret. The SYIL L3 is the model in the range with a Power Turret, BMT55 live tooling at 5,000 rpm and a C axis with 0.001° indexing.

03 How many tools does the L2 turret hold?

The specification gives the tool count as 8/12. Tool shank size is listed as 25 × 25 / 20 × 20 mm and boring bar diameter as ø40/ø32 mm. A 12-tool turret in 25x25mm block type appears separately on the options list, so state which turret you want when asking for a quotation.

04 What bar size passes through the L2 spindle?

The through-spindle bore is ø52 mm (2.0 in), inside a spindle bore of ø66 mm (2.6 in). The spindle nose is A2-6. SYIL lists a parts catcher for the L2 as an option; the page does not list a bar feeder for this model.

05 What control and footprint does the L2 have?

The control is the Siemens SINUMERIK 828D, fitted as standard. The machine measures 1,775 × 1,600 × 1,690 mm (69.9 × 63.0 × 66.5 in) and weighs 3,050 kg (6,724 lb). An optional chip conveyor with pickup trolley adds to the floor space needed.
