TAKISAWA TCN-3500G CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center is a mid-range production lathe engineered for medium-duty turning and milling operations on complex workpieces. With a 10-inch chuck capacity and 18.1-inch maximum turning diameter, the machine accommodates a wide range of part geometries while maintaining the structural rigidity necessary for precision machining. The 20-inch machining length provides sufficient Z-axis travel for extended workpieces, supported by a 3.46-inch bar capacity suitable for automatic feeding operations. Powered by a 20.1 horsepower motor capable of 2,500 RPM maximum spindle speed, the machine delivers adequate torque for both finishing and rough-stock removal applications. The CNC control system enables programmable tool sequencing through an automated tool turret, allowing rapid tool changes and minimizing setup time between operations. This configuration supports facing, threading, drilling, boring, and taper turning capabilities with repeatable precision tolerances down to ±0.0001 inches, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing where tight dimensional accuracy is critical. The machine's inherent rigid construction minimizes vibration during high-speed feedrates, improving surface finish quality and dimensional repeatability across production runs. Integration of both primary and secondary spindle options, along with optional Y-axis functionality, enables complex multi-axis machining without requiring workpiece repositioning. The combination of moderate spindle speed, substantial power delivery, and machining envelope makes this turning center ideal for mid-volume production environments requiring versatile part capabilities and consistent quality output.
