The S-500 from ARES SEIKI is an expertly engineered CNC Tapping and Machining Center built for non-stop, high-volume manufacturing. Its key feature is the innovative dual work station system utilizing rotary worktables and a moving column structure. This configuration allows the operator to change workpieces on one pallet while the machine is actively processing the part on the other, effectively eliminating idle time and making it ideal for large-scale mass production across industries like automotive, 3C electronics, and medical hardware.

Performance is driven by a powerful spindle with a standard speed of 10,000 RPM and optional upgrades up to 24,000 RPM. The machine is capable of performing rigid tapping at 4,000 RPM. It ensures high-speed efficiency through its axis movement, boasting a rapid traverse of 48 m/min in the Z-axis. Operational speed is paramount, highlighted by its high-speed arm-type Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with a T-T time of 2.2 seconds and a remarkably quick 4.5-second Automatic Pallet Changer (APC) time. The robust design includes a working envelope defined by 500 x 400 x 350 mm travel and can handle a maximum table load of 250 kg per table, making the S-500 a highly competitive choice for shops prioritizing throughput and precision.
