TONGTAI TE-2500M CNC LATHE

The 2-Axis CNC lathe represents a fundamental model in CNC machining, operating on two linear axes: the X-axis and Z-axis. The X-axis controls the diameter by moving the tool inwards and outwards, while the Z-axis controls the length by moving the tool back and forth along the workpiece. This configuration is ideal for producing simple and symmetrical parts with high precision and repeatability. This particular machine features a 10-inch chuck size capable of accommodating bar stock up to 2.5 inches in diameter, making it suitable for medium-scale production runs. The spindle delivers 24.8 horsepower, providing robust cutting force for various materials and operations. With a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM, the lathe can achieve efficient material removal rates and surface finish quality across a wide range of workpiece sizes. The CNC control system enables programmable operation through ISO code programming with keyboard input, incorporating power-off protection and self-diagnosis functions. The machine utilizes precision ball screws driven by servo motors for both X and Z axes, ensuring accurate positioning and high repeatability. Available tool rest configurations—including four-station, six-station, vertical, or horizontal types—provide flexibility for different production requirements. This 2-axis lathe is particularly well-suited for cell manufacturing environments, where gang tooling mounted directly on slides offers enhanced rigidity and reduced cycle times. The combination of ample spindle power, competitive speed range, and CNC precision makes it an excellent choice for shops requiring reliable, repeatable turning operations on moderate-sized components.
