TAKISAWA TS-250C HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Takisawa TS-250C is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for versatile turning and milling operations. It features a robust main spindle capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 12.4 inches and a maximum turning length of 23.6 inches, with a 10-inch diameter chuck. The spindle operates at speeds up to 4,000 RPM, powered by a 25 HP motor, supporting precision machining of medium-sized workpieces. The machine is equipped with a primary drum tool carrier accommodating up to 10 tools, including a rotary tool spindle delivering 5 HP at speeds up to 3,600 RPM, enabling milling and complex cutting operations. It supports simultaneous cutting with one tool, leveraging a 3-axis configuration with travel capacities of 7.5 inches in X, 26.4 inches in Z, and rapid traverse rates as high as 787 inches per minute on all axes, ensuring efficient material removal and fast cycle times. The structural design includes a highly rigid slant bed with rectangular slideways and a longer Y-axis for integrated milling and turning tasks. It incorporates advanced CNC controls facilitating multi-task machining in a single setup, reducing setup time and increasing accuracy. This machine excels in producing complex parts requiring combined turning and milling processes with high precision, optimized tool life, and improved productivity, suitable for prototype development and small to medium batch production environments. Automation support via gantry loaders and Takisawa's interactive programming system enhances operational efficiency and ease of use.
