TAKISAWA-TAIWAN EX-308 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The TAKISAWA-TAIWAN EX-308 is a horizontal machining center optimized for precision turning with a maximum main spindle turning diameter of 10.2 inches and a chuck diameter of 8 inches. It features a robust main spindle capable of 4,000 RPM with 25 HP power, supporting a maximum swing of 17.7 inches and a bar diameter capacity of 2 inches. The machine is equipped with a 12-station turret tool carrier, capable of both turning and rotary tooling with up to 12 tools each, and rotary tools powered at 5 HP reaching 4,000 RPM. It operates on 3 axes, offering an X-axis travel of 7.1 inches and a Z-axis travel of 20.9 inches. This setup allows for versatile machining operations with simultaneous use of one cutting tool. Designed with durability and precision in mind, the EX-308 integrates advanced linear guideways and an oil-cooled spindle motor, ensuring high performance and thermal stability. The unit supports sophisticated CNC control, typically via a Fanuc 21i-T system, facilitating efficient tool management and programming. Its construction is heavy cast iron to ensure rigidity and vibration dampening during high-speed machining. The machine is particularly suitable for complex turning tasks requiring high accuracy and tooling flexibility. Weight and footprint are consistent with industrial horizontal CNC turning centers, making it a reliable choice for demanding machining environments. This model dates back to early 2000s design but continues to serve with robustness and precision.
