HURCO COMPANIES TM8I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco TM8i Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance slant-bed CNC lathe designed for versatile turning operations. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 14.0", a max turning length of 20.7", and an 8.0" diameter chuck, enabling it to handle medium-sized workpieces efficiently. The spindle operates at up to 4,000 RPM with 24 to 31 HP, supporting bar diameters up to 2.5". Its tool handling capacity includes a primary turret carrying 12 turning tools and a secondary slotted disc also capable of holding 12 rotary tools, allowing for diverse cutting applications with one simultaneous cutting tool. The machine's travel capabilities include 8.0" on the X-axis, 21.6" on the Z-axis, each with rapid traverse rates of 1,181 inches per minute, ensuring fast and precise machining movements. It supports 2-axes operation optimized for turning tasks. Additional features often integrated with the TM8i include chip conveyors, tool presetters, bar feeders, tailstocks, and parts catchers that enhance productivity and operational flow while minimizing downtime. Its compact footprint combined with a large work envelope and advanced chip management make it ideal for small batch manufacturing and general machining sectors. The combination of power, precision, and versatility positions the TM8i as a reliable choice for fabricators and manufacturers requiring efficient CNC turning solutions.
