TURRET TC-15 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TC-15 is a compact horizontal turret machining center engineered for precision turning operations on small to medium workpieces. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 11.81 inches and turning length of 19.68 inches, accommodating bar stock up to 2.05 inches in diameter. The 8-inch chuck provides secure workpiece holding, while the 17.32-inch maximum swing clearance ensures adequate tool access. The spindle delivers 15 horsepower at 4,500 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across various applications. The machine employs a turret tool carrier configuration with eight turning tool stations, allowing single-point cutting operations. Its two-axis design provides 7.09 inches of X-axis (cross) travel and 20.08 inches of Z-axis (longitudinal) travel, delivering the linear motion necessary for complex geometries. All three axes—X, Y, and Z—achieve rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute, with maximum feed rates of 197 inches per minute during cutting, ensuring responsive machine performance and reduced cycle times. The TC-15's compact footprint and horizontal layout make it ideal for production environments where space is limited. Its rigid construction and turret-based tool changing system minimize setup time while maintaining repeatability. The machine's specifications support high-speed finishing operations and efficient stock removal, making it versatile for diverse turning applications in job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring economical, space-efficient precision machining capabilities.
