TAKISAWA TPS-4100 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TAKISAWA TPS-4100 is a precision CNC lathe engineered for high-efficiency piston and non-circular component machining. This 2-axis system integrates advanced non-circular machining capabilities, delivering superior performance in variable-kind, variable-lot production environments. The machine features a maximum turning diameter of 12.5 inches (320mm) with a 9.84-inch (250mm) turning length capacity, accommodating an 8-inch chuck diameter. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM with 15 horsepower (11 kW) output, the TPS-4100 combines power and precision for demanding applications. The system incorporates dual tool carriers: an octagonal drum turret with eight stations for primary operations and a specialized oval turret for non-circular machining, enabling simultaneous multi-axis cutting operations. With six axes of motion including X, Y, and Z travel up to 5.9, 1.96, and 16.14 inches respectively, along with rapid traverse rates up to 472 inches per minute, this machine delivers rapid cycle times and exceptional accuracy. The machine occupies a footprint of 3,880×2,673mm with a height of 1,850mm and weighs 5,500kg, requiring 28.1 kVA electrical power and 0.5 MPa air pressure. Specifically designed for automotive piston production including gasoline and diesel engine components, the TPS-4100 represents Takisawa's global standard in piston manufacturing technology, with proven applications in high-performance racing engines.
