HURCO TMX8I CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 8-inch chuck and a 2.6-inch bar capacity, supporting machining of parts up to 14 inches in maximum turning diameter and 21.1 inches in maximum turning length. It operates on three axes (X, Z, and an additional axis), with travel distances of 8 inches on the X-axis and 22 inches on the Z-axis, allowing precise control over diameter and length dimensions. Powered by a 37.3 HP motor, it delivers a maximum spindle speed of 4,500 RPM and a peak torque of 178 lb-ft at 1100 RPM in high gear, suitable for machining heavy-duty components. The spindle features an A2-6 nose configuration for secure and consistent workholding. The machine design incorporates a 12-station tool turret with 1-inch by 1-inch tool shanks, enabling versatile multi-tool setups and rapid turret indexing times of 0.20 seconds for adjacent stations and up to 0.70 seconds for the furthest. It supports boring bars up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Rapid traverse rates for the X, Z, and W axes reach 1181 inches per minute, enhancing productivity during non-cutting moves. Physical dimensions measure 206.9 by 124.4 by 86.1 inches, with a machine weight of 15,432 lbs, reflecting its robust construction. Electrical requirements are 230V, 3-phase power. Swing over bed diameter is 25.2 inches, and swing over cross slide diameter is 16.34 inches, enabling machining of large-diameter workpieces. Such specifications make this CNC lathe suitable for precision turning of medium to large parts with high rigidity and flexibility in tool usage.
