TAIWAN MACHINE TOOL TTB-40B CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center represents a mid-range production lathe designed for high-volume machining of cylindrical components. The machine features a robust 15-inch chuck capable of securing workpieces up to 4.6 inches in bar capacity, making it suitable for processing round stock and pre-formed blanks. With a maximum turning diameter of 21.7 inches, the lathe accommodates moderately sized parts while maintaining precision during both roughing and finishing operations. The extended machining length of 87.2 inches provides substantial Z-axis travel, enabling production of elongated components in a single setup, thereby reducing secondary operations and improving throughput. This extended stroke is particularly valuable for manufacturing shafts, tubes, and other length-critical parts common in automotive, hydraulic, and industrial equipment applications. Equipped with full CNC control, the machine offers multi-axis capability for complex geometries, including simultaneous X, Y, and Z-axis movements and optional live tooling for milling operations on turned surfaces. The CNC system enables programmable operation with repeatable positioning accuracy, essential for maintaining tight tolerances across production runs. Advanced features typically include automatic tool changers, chip management systems, and thermal stability technologies to compensate for environmental temperature variations that could affect dimensional accuracy. This turning center serves small to mid-sized job shops, contract manufacturers, and OEMs requiring versatile production capabilities with consistent quality. The combination of substantial chuck size, extended machining length, and CNC precision makes it well-suited for general production turning, offering an optimal balance between capability and operational efficiency for diverse manufacturing applications.
