vertical3-axisfor printed circuit boards

Product overview
The TC-1600 Series is a high-speed vertical CNC drilling and tapping center designed for fast-cycle machining of small to mid-size workpieces. With a 20,000 rpm spindle, 1600 mm X-axis travel and a 450 kg load capacity, this machine is intended for efficient multi-hole drilling, blind-hole tapping and pocket contouring in aluminum, copper and engineering plastics.

Key features

• 20,000 RPM high-speed spindle: Enables ultra-fast drilling and threading with reduced cycle times and burr-free edges.
• Extended X-axis travel: 1600 mm for long parts or multi-station fixtures.
• Compact Y/Z stroke: 500 / 300 mm suitable for flat or low-profile components with complex hole patterns.
• 450 kg load table: Stable support for multiple parts or heavy aluminum profiles.
• Servo-controlled axis motion: Accurate feed control for fine tool engagement and positioning.

Recommended configurations

• Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) to reduce non-cutting time and improve multitool productivity.
• Dual-pallet system for continuous production (part loading while machining).
• Oil-mist or water-coolant system to extend tool life and ensure thermal stability during high-speed tapping.
• Renishaw tool presetter / probe for automated tool length and part alignment.
• Anti-vibration mounts to improve accuracy and machine longevity during continuous high-speed operation.

Application case

• Client: Precision electronics manufacturer (South Korea).
• Use case: High-speed drilling and tapping of 3C product aluminum frames.
• Setup example: TC-1600 with ATC, dual-pallet and coolant mist system.
• Reported results: Average part cycle time reduction ~35%, hole roundness within ±0.01 mm, fully formed tapping threads, stable high-speed performance without overheating or chatter.
