Sharp 1840TC-F

Q: How much does the Sharp 1840TC-F cost?

The price estimate for the Sharp 1840TC-F is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/sharp-1840tc-f#price; the request is passed to Sharp or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The Sharp 1840TC-F is a flat bed CNC lathe of toolroom size: 18 in (457.2 mm) of swing over the bed, 39.4 in between centers and a 2.37 in spindle bore behind a D1-6 camlock nose. It is the smallest of Sharp's TC-F lathes.

Sharp sells it as a machine an operator can run three ways. It works as a manual lathe through electronic handwheels on X and Z, as a full CNC lathe programmed in M code or G code, or semi automatically with the two mixed. That makes it a teach-and-repeat machine for one-offs, repairs and short runs, where the operator turns a diameter by hand and lets the control cut the thread or the radius.

The headstock is geared, with 3 steps and automatic speed change, and the motor is a Fanuc 10 hp (7.45 kW) unit. Sharp's overview quotes 14-2,500 rpm for the range; the specification table on the same page prints a different lower limit, so the bottom speed is worth confirming if large-diameter work at low rpm matters. Swing over the cross slide is 9 in (228.6 mm) and cross travel 10.63 in (270 mm).

Tooling is simple. A 4-way programmable tool post is standard, and a hydraulic 8 position turret with 4 internal holders and 4 external wedges is an option. No chuck appears on the standard list: 8" and 10" three-jaw chucks are options. The tailstock is manual with an MT #5 center and 6.31 in of quill travel. Weight is 5,732 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the 1840TC-F be used like a manual lathe?

Yes. Sharp states that it can operate as a manual lathe with electronic handwheels, as a full CNC lathe with programmable speed using M code or G code language, or semi automatically, combining manual and CNC operations. An electronic handwheel (MPG) for the X and Z axes is a standard accessory.

02 What is the capacity of the 1840TC-F?

Swing over the bed is 18 in (457.2 mm) and swing over the cross slide 9 in (228.6 mm). Distance between centers is 39.4 in. The spindle bore is 2.37 in (60.19 mm) with a D1-6 camlock nose, and the bed is 14.5 in (368.3 mm) wide and 82.5 in long.

03 Does the 1840TC-F have a turret?

Not as standard. The standard accessory is a 4-way programmable tool post. Sharp lists a hydraulic 8 position turret with 4 x internal tool holder and 4 x external tool wedges as an option, along with a hydraulic tailstock in lieu of the manual one.

04 What threading can the 1840TC-F do?

Sharp lists inch and metric threading, left or right-hand, single or multiple-start. A spindle encoder is a standard accessory, and spindle speed is programmable across the 3 gear steps with automatic speed change.
