KSI SWISS TCM 26S HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KSI Swiss TCM 26S is a seven-axis CNC Swiss-type automatic lathe engineered for precision high-volume production of complex small parts. This horizontal machining center features a 26mm maximum bar capacity with a main spindle capable of 10,000 RPM and 5 horsepower, enabling turning diameters up to 1.020 inches and lengths to 12 inches. The machine incorporates dual independent spindle systems: a primary main spindle paired with an 8,000 RPM sub-spindle rated at 3 horsepower, facilitating simultaneous multi-side machining operations. The TCM 26S employs two independent tool systems with a combined capacity of 17 tools—six turning and four rotary tools on the main spindle block, plus five turning and two rotary tools on the Y-axis block—allowing up to three simultaneous cutting tools for optimized cycle times. Secondary milling and drilling functions operate on-center and off-center with full C-axis and Y-axis control as standard features, enhancing part complexity capabilities. The machine incorporates KSI's signature technologies including Intelligent Chucking, which utilizes a 300mm stroke to minimize bar re-chucking during extended production runs, High Precision Mode for vibration reduction and mirror-like finishes, and Variable Frequency Turning for improved chip control and heat dissipation. Controlled by FANUC OiTF CNC, the TCM 26S delivers rigid, stable casting construction designed for repeatable tolerances and demanding precision manufacturing applications.
