ARIX CNC MACHINES TMS42CL HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Arix TMS42CL is a 5-axis CNC horizontal turning center engineered for efficient production of medium-sized machined parts. Featuring a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 130 inches and turning length capacity of 160 inches, this machine delivers robust performance with 10 horsepower and operates at 40 RPM. The machine employs a gang-type primary tool carrier system, accommodating up to 5 turning tools and 8 rotary tools, enabling versatile machining operations including simultaneous front and back spindle synchronization. With full 5-axis simultaneous control capability, the TMS42CL achieves precise multi-directional machining without repositioning requirements. All three linear axes (X, Y, and Z) maintain consistent maximum feed rates and rapid traverse rates of 15 inches per minute, ensuring predictable cycle times and smooth operational flow. The horizontal spindle orientation provides excellent chip evacuation and accessibility for tool changes and workpiece handling. This configuration makes the TMS42CL particularly suited for production runs requiring complex geometries and high repeatability, reducing overall machining time through synchronized spindle operations and comprehensive tooling flexibility.
