HURCO COMPANIES TM6I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco TM6i is a compact 2-axis CNC turning center designed for precision machining of small to medium-sized components. This machine features a maximum turning diameter of 12.4 inches and a maximum turning length of 13.4 inches, with a 6-inch chuck diameter and maximum bar capacity of 1.75 inches. The machine is equipped with a single main spindle capable of reaching 6,000 RPM with 17.5 horsepower, delivering maximum spindle torque of 114 Nm. The TM6i utilizes a 12-position tool turret as its primary tool carrier, allowing for efficient tool changes during production runs. The machine's motion system provides X-axis travel of 7 inches and Z-axis travel of 14 inches, with rapid traverse rates of 1,181 inches per minute, enabling quick positioning between cuts. The slant-bed design with a 45-degree X-axis incline enhances chip evacuation and operator accessibility while maintaining excellent positioning accuracy of 0.010 mm. This turning center is well-suited for high-precision work, featuring a rigid construction that weighs 7,011 pounds and incorporates a manual tailstock with programmable quill for added versatility. The machine includes a comprehensive coolant system and advanced CNC control capabilities, making it ideal for prototype development, small-batch production, and precision turning operations requiring tight tolerances and consistent repeatability in compact shop environments.
