TAKISAWA TC-40 L10 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe chuck features a 12-inch diameter, designed for high-precision machining applications requiring robust clamping and repeatability. Constructed from high-grade alloy steel, the chuck incorporates hardened and ground sliding surfaces to ensure accurate running and extended service life. Its wedge-type design provides a self-locking mechanism, preventing accidental loosening and maintaining consistent gripping power even under heavy cutting loads. The chuck is actuated via a rear-mounted hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, with operating force adjustable to match specific machining requirements. Standard and custom hard or soft jaws are available for versatile workholding, and the base jaw design ensures retention within the jaw ways in case of breakage, enhancing safety. The chuck offers a bar capacity of 3.5 inches, allowing for efficient bar feeding and machining of large-diameter raw materials. With a maximum machining length of 40 inches, it is suitable for extended workpieces, supporting both through-bore and closed-center configurations. The chuck’s compact and sturdy construction minimizes weight and inertia, positively influencing spindle dynamics and enabling high-speed operation. CNC control allows for precise, automated jaw positioning and clamping pressure, ensuring optimal repeatability and accuracy for modern turning centers. Lubrication facilities on each base jaw further enhance gripping force output and operational reliability. This chuck is ideal for demanding CNC lathe applications where precision, safety, and adaptability are critical.
