TAKISAWA-TAIWAN EX-508 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Takisawa Taiwan EX-508 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust CNC lathe designed for high-precision turning operations with a maximum turning diameter of 11.8 inches (300 mm) and a maximum swing of 17.7 inches. It features a powerful main spindle capable of 4,000 RPM with 25 HP motor output and an 8-inch chuck diameter, supporting a bar diameter up to 2.05 inches. The machine includes a sub spindle with 4,000 RPM and 10 HP for enhanced versatility. Equipped with a 12-station turret, it supports up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, each with live tooling capabilities running at up to 4,000 RPM and 5 HP. The EX-508 supports simultaneous cutting with one tool and operates on a 4-axis configuration, providing travel dimensions of 7.28 inches on the X-axis and 218 inches on the Z-axis. Its CNC control system, typically Fanuc 18i-TB, delivers precise indexing angles as fine as 0.001 degrees, facilitating complex part machining. Additional features include coolant systems, chip conveyors, and two pedals for operation control, ensuring efficient chip removal and thermal stability. The construction and precision gearbox enable stable, accurate finishing on demanding materials. Typical machine dimensions are around 120" x 75" x 75" with a weight of approximately 4,500 to 5,200 lbs. This machine is ideal for medium-sized precision parts requiring multi-axis turning and live tooling capabilities.
