INDEX TRAUB TNL 32 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The INDEX TRAUB TNL 32 is a high-performance horizontal sliding headstock automatic lathe designed for precision turning of bar stock up to 1.260" (32 mm) diameter. Featuring one main spindle and one sub-spindle, both capable of speeds up to 8,000 RPM, the machine delivers robust power with the main spindle rated at 10.7 HP and the sub-spindle at 2.5 HP. The TNL 32 is equipped with two independent tool carriers: an upper turret supporting up to 30 turning tools and 20 rotary tools, and a lower turret with 21 turning tools and 14 rotary tools. Rotary tools on both turrets operate at up to 12,000 RPM with 2.5 HP, enabling versatile milling, drilling, and tapping operations. The machine supports simultaneous machining with up to three cutting tools, maximizing productivity. Standard features include on-center and off-center secondary mill/drill functions, as well as integrated 'C' and 'Y' axis capabilities for complex contouring and angled operations. With 7 NC axes, the TNL 32 offers X-axis travel of 5.510", Y-axis travel of 2.560", and Z-axis travel of 12.600", all with rapid traverse rates of 787 ipm for swift tool movements. The thermosymmetrical machine design ensures high precision and stability, while the large tool pool and flexible turret configuration allow for efficient, multi-operation part processing in compact, automated production environments.
