Overview
5-Axis Simultaneous Machining
Minimize handling, maximize productivity
The Sharp SVX-500 vertical machining center is engineered to have unrivaled quality and outperform all other machines in its category. Sharp’s SVX-500 allows true 5-sided and 5-axis simultaneous machining. Unlike the 3-axis that requires a separate setup for cutting different sides of a part, the 5-axis machine requires the part to be set only once and rotated into a series of positions to machine each side without the need to reset the part. All major castings of the SVX-500 are analyzed using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to locate areas of stress and strain, multiple loading conditions from thermal, gravity, centrifugal and enforced displacement. Ribs locations are properly defined to maintain rigidity throughout the entire machine. The 5-axis is constructed using the box-in-box design to assure accuracy and rigidity under different cutting conditions.

Features
Box-in-Box Construction
The machine is constructed using the box-in-box design to assure precision and rigidity under different cutting conditions. The work piece is fixed to allow large heavy parts to be machined with high accuracy. The spindle head moves on highly rigid roller guide ways along the X and Y axis on top of the box structure. Twin ball screws are used for Y axis travel. The trunnion table is anchored on both sides to the wall of the box structure to ensure precise C and A axis movements. Such arrangement maintains total machine balance and eliminates overhang due to the moving table.
Zero Backlash Trunnion Table
The trunnion table is anchored at both ends to the side wall of the box casting to ensure precise C and A axis movement. It utilizes roller cam bearings to eliminate any backlash. It delivers more torque and low rpm than other 5 axes machine with swivel head. The design also facilitates the transition from 3 axes to 5 axis machining due to the similarity in approach to parts.
Lower Gravity Linear Axes Travel
The rigid liner roller guide system has low gravity center and low friction to maintain fine finish on work piece. With rapid traverse reaching 2,362 ipm (60M/min) along the X, Y axis, it shortens positioning time and increase productivity.
Built-in Spindle Motor Ceramic Bearings
Packing a motor and machining spindle in one unit eliminate couplings, belts, and gearboxes. It also lets them cut back on spindle inertia and increase acceleration and deceleration times. The lack of drive-traverse forces makes the spindles accurate, thanks to smooth, precise spindle motion even at low speeds. The units is compact, lightweight, and have high power densities.
Ceramic bearings are more corrosion-resistant, harder, and last longer in everyday use. Light lubrication is needed, so they roll much quicker with less drag than standard steel bearings. Ceramic deals with heat better, so less friction is a bonus.
Linear Scales and Rotary Encoders
Linear scales are installed on the X, Y, Z axis to ensure accurate linear travel of the spindle head. Rotary encoder is in installed on the trunnion table for accurate measurement of rotational travel of the trunnion table.
Wine-Rack Style Tool Change System
The Automatic Tool Changer is installed at the back of the machine. It makes the tool change from behind and under the spindle. It eliminates the action of a swing arm. All tools sit vertically on a rotating stand. The arrangement allows easy access to the tools for maintenance at the back of the machine.
BLUM Z-nano Tool Setter and BLUM T-60 Touch Probe
BLUM Z-nano Tool Setter for tool breakage detection and tool length measurement
BLUM T-60 Touch Probe to identify and set-up parts, measure features in‑cycle for adaptive machining, monitor workpiece surface condition and verify finished component dimensions.
Above two devices are standard on the machine.
