TAKISAWA TT-1600 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TAKISAWA TT-1600 Horizontal Machining Center features dual independent spindles, each with a maximum turning diameter of 9.450" and turning length of 6.500". Both spindles have a 6" chuck diameter, operate at up to 4,500 RPM, and are powered by 15 HP motors, enabling high productivity through simultaneous machining on two workpieces. It includes two turret tool carriers, each supporting up to 10 turning and 10 rotary tools, with rotary tools running up to 2,500 RPM at 7.3 HP. The machine supports 4 axes with travels of 5.590" on X and 6.500" on Z axes, both capable of rapid traverses at 945 inches-per-minute on X, Y, and Z axes. This setup supports two simultaneous cutting tools, maximizing efficiency and cycle times. The twin-spindle arrangement and twin turrets allow complex parts to be machined simultaneously on both sides, boosting throughput and enabling symmetrical and full automatic machining processes—ideal for high-volume production. The integration of rotary tools allows milling and grinding capabilities alongside turning functions. The machine’s robust design facilitates heavy-duty operations with precise and versatile control over multi-axis toolpaths, enabling complex part geometries with reduced cycle time and manual handling. This configuration is aligned with Takisawa’s reputation for reliable, high-performance CNC turning centers that enhance productivity through innovative twin-spindle technology.
