TAKISAWA TK-25 GANGTOOL VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This is a 2-axis CNC vertical machining center designed for precision turning and cylindrical component manufacturing. The machine features a maximum turning length of 12.600 inches and accommodates an 8.000-inch chuck diameter, suitable for small to medium-sized workpieces. With a maximum swing of 23.600 inches, the vertical machining center can handle larger diameter parts within the chuck area, though actual turning capacity is limited by the 12.600-inch turning length specification. The 2-axis configuration—controlling the X-axis for diameter adjustments and Z-axis for length positioning—is ideal for producing symmetrical parts with simple geometries. Operating at 2,000 RPM with 25 horsepower, this vertical machining center delivers substantial cutting power for sustained turning operations on harder materials and aggressive machining tasks. The X-axis travel of 15.700 inches and Z-axis travel of 12.600 inches define the machine's work envelope and positioning capabilities. The tool turret accommodates up to 6 tools, though only one cutting tool operates simultaneously, allowing for automated tool changes without manual intervention. This configuration enables efficient multi-step turning operations including facing, threading, and profiling in a single setup. The machine's specifications indicate it targets small-batch production and job shop applications requiring reliable precision and repeatability, with capability to achieve tolerances suitable for general manufacturing across aerospace, automotive, and medical device industries.
