TRAUB TNL 18P HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TRAUB TNL 18P is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for complex turning tasks, featuring dual spindles each capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 0.790" and a turning length up to 8.070". The main spindles operate at speeds up to 10,000 RPM with 5.0 HP, while the sub spindle can reach 12,000 RPM with 3.8 HP, allowing simultaneous multi-spindle processing. Equipped with two turrets (upper and lower), it supports a total tool capacity of up to 45 turning tools with rotary tooling capabilities reaching 12,000 RPM and power up to 3.8 HP per tool. The machine offers up to 7 axes, including X, Y, Z, and additional rotational axes (‘C’ and ‘Y’), enabling complex milling and drilling functions both on and off-center. The travel ranges are 4.72" (X), 2.36" (Y), and 9.84" (Z), with rapid traverse rates up to 787 ipm in each axis, ensuring swift and precise workpiece positioning. The TNL 18P supports simultaneous cutting with up to 3 tools, enhancing productivity in Swiss-type turning operations. Its compact footprint (approximately 2500 mm x 1460 mm x 2250 mm) and weight around 4000 kg make it suitable for various manufacturing environments. The machine uses TRAUB’s proprietary TX 8i-p CNC system for intuitive programming and control. This robust configuration combines high-speed spindles, versatile tooling, and multi-axis capability to deliver efficient, precise machining of small-diameter components, ideal for industries requiring complex, high-volume part production.
