HURCO COMPANIES TMX8I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The HURCO TMX8i is a 3-axis slant-bed CNC turning center designed for high-performance production machining. This machine features a maximum turning diameter of 14 inches and turning length of 21.1 inches, accommodating bar stock up to 2.5 inches in diameter. The 8-inch chuck provides secure workholding for precision operations. The single spindle delivers 4,500 RPM maximum speed with 37.3 horsepower, generating substantial torque for rigid cutting cycles. The TMX8i incorporates all-digital drives and motors with absolute encoders on all linear axes, ensuring repeatability and accuracy. With X, Z, and W axis travels of 8.7, 22, and 25.2 inches respectively, the machine accommodates diverse part geometries. Rapid traverse rates reach 1,181 inches per minute across all axes, minimizing non-cutting cycle time. The primary turret tool carrier supports up to 12 turning tools, while the slotted disc accommodates additional rotary tools, enabling comprehensive multi-operation capabilities in a single setup. The programmable tailstock enhances flexibility for extended workpiece support and complex operations. Built for rigorous production environments, the TMX8i combines increased rigidity, faster acceleration/deceleration rates, and simplified user-friendly CNC control technology characteristic of HURCO's manufacturing philosophy. This configuration makes the machine ideal for medium to large batch production requiring consistent quality and minimal setup time.
