How much does the Traub TX52 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from INDEX-Traub. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Traub TX52 is a bar-fed turning machine for parts up to 52 mm (2.047 in) bar, with a 100 mm (3.94 in) maximum turning diameter and 500 mm (19.69 in) of turning length. Its table is short: a 12-station turret, driven tools to 8,000 RPM, a Y-axis stroke of ±40 mm and rapid traverse of 30 m/min (X, Z).
The 500 mm turning length on a 100 mm diameter points to slender turned parts: shafts, pins and spindles cut from bar, with cross holes and flats added by the driven tools inside the ±40 mm Y window. Against the INDEX C200, which is listed with a 220 mm turning diameter, 550 mm turning length and 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y travel, the TX52 is the smaller-diameter machine with a narrower milling window.
The table gives no spindle speed, power, torque, weight or control, so those need to come from INDEX before the TX52 can be compared properly with other machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bar up to 52 mm (2.047 in), a maximum turning diameter of 100 mm (3.94 in) and a maximum turning length of 500 mm (19.69 in). Rapid traverse is 30 m/min on X and Z.
02
Yes. The turret has 12 stations and driven tools run to 8,000 RPM. The Y-axis stroke is ±40 mm, which allows cross holes, flats and slots to be placed off the centreline.
