TAKISAWA TC-40 L30 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a mid-sized CNC turning center engineered for high-precision production machining of complex rotational components. The machine features a 12-inch chuck capacity with a maximum turning diameter of 17.72 inches, supported by an extended machining length of 118.90 inches, making it suitable for longer workpieces requiring end-to-end machining operations. The 3.50-inch bar capacity enables efficient automated stock feeding for production runs, while the 2,500 RPM maximum spindle speed provides optimal control for precision turning and finishing operations on medium-diameter workpieces. Powered by a 24.80 hp motor, this CNC lathe delivers adequate torque for consistent material removal across various alloys and steels without sacrificing surface finish quality. The computer numerical control system enables automated tool selection and positioning through an integrated tool turret, eliminating manual intervention and reducing cycle times. This configuration typically includes driven tools on the turret, allowing integrated milling, drilling, and tapping capabilities for complete part machining in a single setup. The machine's rigid construction and precision spindle dynamics support tight tolerance machining, commonly achieving dimensional accuracies within ±0.0001 inches for demanding aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. The extended Z-axis travel combined with moderate spindle speed makes this ideal for detailed work on shafts, bushings, and complex geometries requiring multiple operations without part repositioning. This class of machine balances production efficiency with precision requirements for mid-range manufacturing operations.
