TAKISAWA TK-2 GANGTOOL VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter and swing of 23.600 inches, providing substantial capacity for medium to large cylindrical workpieces. It supports a maximum turning length of 12.600 inches on the Z-axis, extendable optionally to 8.700 inches, and includes an 8.000-inch diameter chuck to securely hold stock during machining. The machine is driven by a 10-horsepower spindle capable of a maximum rotational speed of 3,200 RPM, ideal for a variety of turning and cutting operations requiring moderate speed and torque. Operated on 2 axes—X and Z—it offers a travel range of 15.700 inches along the X-axis and 12.600 inches along the Z-axis, allowing precise diameter and length control during turning. The machine integrates a turret accommodating up to 6 tools, with the capability of using 1 tool simultaneously, facilitating efficient tool changes and a range of cutting operations without manual intervention. Its maximum feed rate is 197 inches per minute, with rapid traverse speeds up to 472 inches per minute, optimizing cycle times during non-cutting moves. This configuration is suitable for production environments requiring reliable, accurate turning of parts with moderate complexity and size, balancing power, speed, and tooling flexibility for effective machining performance. The 2-axis setup enables precision in standard turning tasks while maintaining operational simplicity.
