TAKISAWA TC-20(H)-L3 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Takisawa TC-20(H)-L3 is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for precision turning operations in small to medium-sized manufacturing environments. Equipped with a single main spindle featuring an 8-inch chuck, the machine accommodates workpieces up to 9.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, with a maximum bar capacity of 1.65 inches. The spindle operates at 6,000 RPM with 10 HP motor output, providing consistent power for diverse machining applications. The machine incorporates dual tool carriers—an 8-station primary turret and a 12-station secondary turret—enabling efficient tool changes and expanded machining capabilities with up to 12 simultaneous cutting tools available. Motion control is managed through two axes: the X-axis offers 6.25 inches of travel with rapid traverse speeds of 785 IPM, while the Z-axis provides 14.55 inches of travel at the same rapid traverse rate. Both axes achieve identical maximum feed rates of 785 IPM, ensuring balanced machine performance across linear movements. The machine's two-axis configuration simplifies programming and operation while maintaining the precision required for complex turning geometries commonly found in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications. With its robust construction and integrated tool management system, the TC-20(H)-L3 delivers reliable performance for production environments demanding high-quality finished components with minimal setup time and rapid cycle rates.
