Overview

The Amada TECHSTER 126 is the largest TECHSTER size, and the only one of the three large models with a bigger wheel and motor: a 510 x 38-50 x 127 mm wheel on a spindle rated 11 kW peak / 6 kW continuous. Travels are 1,500 mm (59.1 in) in traverse and 660 mm (26 in) in cross, under a spindle centre height of 850 mm (33.5 in).

The wheel explains the rest of the machine. A 510 mm wheel has far more usable abrasive than the 355 mm wheel of the TECHSTER 104, and at the same spindle speed its rim runs faster, so it wants the larger motor and the greater centre height. The 850 mm centre height is not all clearance: the wheel's radius is taken out of it, and that radius is larger here than on the smaller sizes.

Cross travel is where the 126 separates most clearly from its siblings. The TECHSTER 84 lists 450 mm (17.7 in) and the TECHSTER 104 lists 460 mm (18.1 in), so both are machines for narrow work. With 660 mm (26 in) the 126 takes wide plates and mould bases, or several narrow parts side by side, across 1,500 mm of length.

Some rows of the table do not belong with these figures. It also shows a wheel spindle row of 7.5 ~ 4, a wheel size of 355 x 38 ~ 50 x 127, travels of 1000/450, a centre height from table of 500 and a standard chuck of 800 x 400. Those match the TECHSTER 84, the smallest of the three, so have the chuck size and the vertical travel for the 126 confirmed in the quotation. Cross and vertical axes are Ball Screw Drive & Direct Drive under Simultaneous 2 Axis + 1 Axis control.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Largest wheel of the three sizes: 510 x 38-50 x 127 mm
Wheel spindle rated 11 kW peak / 6 kW continuous, against 7.5 kW peak / 4 kW continuous on the TECHSTER 104
660 mm (26 in) of cross travel for wide plates, where the TECHSTER 104 lists 460 mm (18.1 in)
1,500 mm (59.1 in) of traverse travel for long workpieces
Spindle centre height of 850 mm (33.5 in)

Limitations

Five rows of the table (wheel spindle 7.5 ~ 4, wheel 355 x 38 ~ 50 x 127, travels 1000/450, centre height 500, chuck 800 x 400) repeat TECHSTER 84 figures and conflict with this model's own rows
No vertical travel, table load or wheel speed is listed
The standard chuck row reads 800 x 400, far smaller than the 1,500 mm (59.1 in) by 660 mm (26 in) travels, so the chuck supplied needs confirming
The traverse axis drive type is not stated; only the cross and vertical axes are listed as Ball Screw Drive & Direct Drive

Best For

Wide plates and mould bases within 660 mm (26 in) of cross travel Long workpieces up to the 1,500 mm (59.1 in) traverse Heavier grinding with an 11 kW peak / 6 kW continuous wheel spindle Several narrow parts ground side by side in one setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What wheel does the TECHSTER 126 use?

A 510 x 38-50 x 127 mm wheel: 510 mm in diameter, 38 to 50 mm wide, on a 127 mm bore. The TECHSTER 84 and TECHSTER 104 use a 355 x 38-50 x 127 mm wheel, so the bore and width range are shared and only the diameter grows.

02 How much spindle power does the TECHSTER 126 have?

The wheel spindle is listed at 11 kW peak and 6 kW continuous. That compares with 7.5 kW peak / 4 kW continuous on the TECHSTER 104. A second wheel spindle row in the table reads 7.5 ~ 4, which matches the smaller models, so confirm the rating in the quotation.

03 What are the travels of the TECHSTER 126?

The model's own rows give 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of traverse travel, 660 mm (26 in) of cross travel and a spindle centre height of 850 mm (33.5 in). The table also carries a travels row of 1000/450 and a centre height from table of 500, which are TECHSTER 84 figures. No vertical travel row is listed.

04 When does the TECHSTER 126 make sense over the TECHSTER 104?

When the work is wider than the TECHSTER 104 can cross, since that model lists 460 mm (18.1 in) of cross travel against 660 mm (26 in) here, or longer than its 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of traverse. The 126 also brings the 510 mm wheel and the 11 kW peak spindle, which the two smaller sizes do not offer.
