Sharp 2460TC-F

Q: How much does the Sharp 2460TC-F cost?

The price estimate for the Sharp 2460TC-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-2460tc-f#price; the request is passed to Sharp or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Sharp 2460TC-F that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Sharp 2460TC-F is the 24 in (609.6 mm) swing flat bed CNC lathe in the TC-F line, with 59 in between centers, a 4.09 in (103.88 mm) spindle bore and a Fanuc 15 hp (11.18 kW) spindle motor.

On paper it shares a bed with the 2060TC-F: 102.2 in long, 14.5 in (368.3 mm) wide, the same 10.63 in (270 mm) of cross slide travel. The machine around that bed is a different size, though. It weighs 8,820 lb, a third more than the 6,614 lb of the 2060TC-F, and its enclosure is 6.25 ft deep and 7.16 ft high where the smaller lathes are 4.58 ft and 6.08 ft. The extra mass sits in a taller headstock and carriage: swing over the cross slide is 14.5 in (368.3 mm), enough to turn a flange or a wheel hub that the 11 in (279.4 mm) of the 2060TC-F would not clear.

Fifteen horsepower through 2 gear steps is what separates it in the cut. Sharp's overview gives the range as 30-1,600 rpm, the slowest top speed of the three small models, which matches the larger diameters it is meant to turn. The specification table's speed and spindle nose rows contradict the overview and are not carried here.

Like its smaller siblings it can be driven by handwheel, by program or by a mix of both, with a 4-way programmable tool post as standard and a hydraulic 8 position turret as an option. The control is a FANUC Oi-TF CNC with an 8.4" LCD screen.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4.09 in (103.88 mm) spindle bore, the largest of the three smaller TC-F lathes
Fanuc 15 hp (11.18 kW) spindle motor
14.5 in (368.3 mm) swing over the cross slide
Manual, CNC and semi automatic operation from the same control
Geared head with 2 steps and automatic speed change

Limitations

Cross slide travel is 10.63 in (270 mm), no more than on the 1840TC-F
Top spindle speed in Sharp's overview is 1,600 rpm
Needs more room than the 2060TC-F: 10.66 x 6.25 x 7.16 ft (3.24 x 1.90 x 2.18 m)
Chucks, the hydraulic tailstock and the 8 position turret are options

Best For

Flanges, hubs and rings up to 24 in swing Pipe and tube that must pass a 4.09 in bore Heavier cuts than the 1840TC-F and 2060TC-F allow Job shops mixing manual setups with programmed cycles

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size work fits the 2460TC-F?

Swing over the bed is 24 in (609.6 mm), swing over the cross slide 14.5 in (368.3 mm) and the distance between centers 59 in. Stock up to the 4.09 in (103.88 mm) spindle bore can pass through the headstock.

02 How powerful is the 2460TC-F spindle?

The spindle motor is a Fanuc 15 hp (11.18 kW) unit driving a geared head with 2 steps and automatic speed change. Sharp's overview gives 30-1,600 rpm with programmable spindle speed. The 1840TC-F and 2060TC-F each have a 10 hp motor.

03 Is the 2460TC-F just a 2060TC-F with more swing?

No. Bed length, bed width and cross travel are the same in Sharp's tables, but the 2460TC-F weighs 8,820 lb against 6,614 lb for the 2060TC-F, has the larger motor and bore, and stands 7.16 ft high. Plan the floor space and rigging for the bigger machine.

04 What comes standard with the 2460TC-F?

A full enclosure splash guard, an electrical box to suit the CNC turning control, a 4-way programmable tool post, a work lamp, an encoder for spindle rpm and an electronic handwheel for X and Z. Chucks, the hydraulic tailstock and the 8 position turret are options.
