The TT-500GD is a compact twin-spindle CNC lathe from Takisawa's TT-Series designed for high accuracy, automation and high productivity in a minimized footprint.
Overview- Supports 5" chuck (5+5) with a twin gantry supplied as standard for accelerated loading and short machining tact times (loading time approx. 2.5 seconds).
- Equipped with a high-accuracy comb type tool slide (flat type) that reduces non-cutting time compared with turret types and allows up to five tools to be mounted for small parts machining.
- High-power built-in spindle motor (7.5 kW / 3.7 kW) enabling rapid acceleration to 5000 min-1 in about 0.8 seconds (option: 8000 min-1).
Key features- Twin gantry optimum for workpieces with short machining tact time is equipped as standard.
- High power 7.5 kW built-in motor accelerates/decelerates the spindle rapidly (0.8 s to 5000 min-1).
- Comb type tool slide (flat type) allows accurate centering and mounting of five tools for Ø50 mm workpieces.
- Integrated bed and vibration-dispersing slit structure for both high rigidity and high accuracy.
- 560 mm wide chip conveyor for effective chip disposal and large maintenance doors for easy chip change and tip exchange.
- Transfer turnover unit equipped as standard allowing simultaneous front and back machining (space-efficient compared with two one-spindle lathes with a reversing device).
- Easy process and measurement management via dedicated buttons; intuitive loader teaching with guide diagrams (RAKU-RAKU Loader example screens).
