TWINHORN T-6 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Twinhorn T-6 is a compact 2-axis CNC horizontal machining center designed for precision turning operations on smaller workpieces. Featuring a 6-inch chuck diameter, it accommodates workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 9.840 inches and length of 14.570 inches, with a maximum bar diameter capacity of 1.770 inches. The machine is equipped with a single main spindle delivering 20 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, providing adequate power for consistent cutting performance on aluminum, steel, and other materials. The 10-position turret tool carrier enables efficient tool changes, supporting one simultaneous cutting tool for optimized machining sequences. With 7.080 inches of X-axis travel and 14.570 inches of Z-axis travel, the machine covers typical small-part production requirements. Rapid traverse rates of 472 inches per minute across all axes ensure minimal non-cutting time, enhancing productivity. The horizontal spindle orientation facilitates chip evacuation and coolant flow, improving surface finish quality. The 16.540-inch maximum swing diameter provides adequate clearance for various workholding fixtures. This machine excels in job shop environments and small-batch production, where flexibility and precision are essential for turning complex geometries, threading, and detailed features on compact components.
