HURCO TM8MI CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Hurco TM Series CNC turning center is a precision slant-bed lathe engineered for small to medium-batch production runs requiring both turning and secondary milling/drilling operations. This compact machine features a 20.7-inch swing over the cross-slide with a maximum turning diameter of 10.1 inches and accommodates bar stock up to 2 inches in diameter. The 8-inch chuck paired with the programmable tailstock enables versatile workholding and one-setup machining strategies that eliminate re-fixturing and associated accuracy losses. Delivering 30 horsepower at speeds up to 4,000 RPM, the turning center provides robust cutting performance for rigorous production cycles. The integrated live tooling and programmable C-axis capability allow simultaneous turning and secondary milling/drilling operations, significantly reducing cycle times and setup complexity. Standing 83.7 inches tall with a footprint optimized for shop floor efficiency, this 8,819-pound machine combines structural rigidity with accessibility. The HURCO CNC control features 4GB RAM memory and a 128GB solid state hard drive, delivering user-friendly operation with fast part-to-print programming. All-digital drives with absolute encoders on linear axes ensure repeatable accuracy across 17.9 inches of machining length, making this lathe ideal for manufacturers seeking measurable productivity improvements without compromising part quality or setup efficiency.
