Sharp 3060TC-F

Q: How much does the Sharp 3060TC-F cost?

The price estimate for the Sharp 3060TC-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-3060tc-f#price; the request is passed to Sharp or an authorised dealer.

We do not have a price for the Sharp 3060TC-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 3060TC-F opens the 3000 series of flat bed CNC lathes: 29.92 in (760 mm) of swing over the bed, 59 in (1,500 mm) between centers and a 6.7 in (170 mm) bore through an A2-11 spindle. This is oil-country and heavy-shaft territory, a clear step above the 2460TC-F.

Where the smaller TC-F lathes come with a tool post, this one is equipped for production from the start. The table lists a hydraulic 8 position turret with four internal and four external stations, taking 1 x 1 in shanks and 1.5 in (38.1 mm) boring bars. With that turret in place Sharp gives a turning diameter of 22 in (558.8 mm) in front of the cross slide, the practical limit for chucked work, while swing over the cross slide is 19 in (480 mm). A 16" 3-jaw chuck, a steady rest (3"- 8"), a flat belt-type chip conveyor and an air assist manual tailstock are standard accessories.

The drive is built for torque at low speed. A 20 hp (14.91 kW) motor works through 2 automatically selected gear ranges over 10-1,000 rpm. Do not expect small-diameter finishing speeds from it. X travel is 19.68 in (500 mm) on a dovetail cross slide and the bed, 18 in (460 mm) wide, has one flat and one V way.

This is the shortest and lightest of the four bed lengths at 9,240 lb (4,191 kg). Sharp also lists the 3080TC-F, 30120TC-F and 30160TC-F on the same headstock and carriage. Power consumption is 28 kVA.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the capacity of the 3060TC-F?

Swing over the bed is 29.92 in (760 mm), swing over the cross slide 19 in (480 mm), and the turning diameter in front of the cross slide with the 8-station turret is 22 in (558.8 mm). Distance between centers and Z travel are both 59 in. The spindle bore is 6.7 in (170 mm).

02 What turret does the 3060TC-F use?

Sharp's table names a hydraulic 8 position turret, LS 200, with 4 internal tool holders and 4 external tool wedges. Tool shanks are 1 x 1 in (25.4 mm x 25.4 mm) and boring bars 1.5 in (38.1 mm) in diameter. The standard accessories list repeats it as an 8 positions programmable tool post, 4 internal and 4 external.

03 Which bed lengths are available in the 3000 series?

Four. The 3060TC-F has 59 in (1,500 mm) between centers, the 3080TC-F 78.75 in (2,000 mm), the 30120TC-F 118 in (3,000 mm) and the 30160TC-F 157 in (3,988 mm). Swing, bore, spindle and turret are the same on all of them.

04 What control and servo motors are fitted?

A FANUC Oi-TF CNC with a 10.4" LCD screen and an electronic handwheel for manual operation. The X-axis servo motor is 2 hp (1.6 kW) and the Z-axis servo motor 4 hp (3 kW), driving ball screws of 1.25 in (32 mm) and 1.96 in (50 mm).
