TAKISAWA TC-2 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 8-inch chuck size and a maximum bar capacity of 2 inches, supporting workpieces up to 24 inches in length. It operates on 2 linear axes (X and Z), suitable for machining symmetrical parts with precision. The machine has a maximum turning diameter of 13 inches and a maximum swing of 16.5 inches, accommodating medium-sized components. Powered by a 15 HP main motor, the lathe delivers up to 3,200 RPM spindle speed, with a spindle rotation capability reaching 3,600 RPM for flexible machining speeds. The spindle uses a 2-step gear-driven system with an A2-6 spindle nose and a bore diameter of 2.28 inches, facilitating diverse tooling and workpiece sizes. An 8-station turret enables multiple tooling options for efficient tool changes and complex operations. The presence of a tailstock enhances support for long or slender workpieces during turning operations. Control is managed via a Fanuc system with DC servo motors, guaranteeing high repeatability, responsiveness, and precision in control over the two axes. This configuration is optimal for precision turning tasks requiring reliable power and moderate complexity machining within the stated size constraints. The machine’s balanced combination of horsepower, spindle speed, axis control, and tooling capacity supports effective production of medium-sized cylindrical parts with consistent accuracy.
