TAKISAWA TK-4 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a robust main spindle capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 14.9 inches and a turning length up to 25.2 inches, supported by a 15-inch diameter chuck and a maximum swing of 31.5 inches. It operates at a spindle speed up to 2,500 RPM with 25 horsepower for effective material removal and heavy-duty turning tasks. The machine includes up to 10 rotary turning tools, with an alternative configuration supporting 8 rotary turning tools, allowing flexible tooling setups for complex parts. It has 2 axes of motion, with X-axis travel of 11.8 inches and Z-axis travel of 26.3 inches, alongside a Y-axis equipped for rotary operations. The maximum feed rate for X, Y, and Z axes is 197 inches per minute, with rapid traverse moves up to 472 inches per minute enabling quick repositioning during operations. This configuration offers precise control and fast machining cycles suitable for medium-sized workpieces requiring high accuracy and versatility in turning and rotary tooling applications. The spindle power and size enable machining of a broad range of materials, while the multi-tool turret enhances productivity by minimizing tool change times. Overall, this turning center is engineered for accurate and efficient production of cylindrical parts with demanding geometric requirements, providing a balance of capacity, speed, and tooling flexibility for advanced CNC turning operations.
