How much does the Sharp TMV-DVS-MP-3 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Sharp TMV-DVS-MP-3 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
On a three-axis CNC knee mill an electronically controlled spindle makes more sense than on any other, and the Sharp TMV-DVS-MP-3 pairs the two: a Digital Variable Speed head running 60 - 4500 rpm on a machine whose X, Y and Z axes all have ball screws and servo drives.
Here is why the pairing matters. A program that drills, then mills, then finishes with a small cutter wants a different speed for each tool. With three axes moving on their own, the operator's remaining job at a tool change is to swap the R-8 tool and set the speed, and a digital drive makes the second step quick and repeatable.
Capacity is the standard TMV envelope: 31 in (787 mm) in X, 15.5 in (393 mm) in Y and 5 in (127 mm) in Z, with 15.3 in (388.62 mm) of knee travel beneath. The motor is 3 hp (2.25 kW).
The quill offers three feeds per revolution, 0.0015, 0.003, 0.005 in (0.0381, 0.0762, 0.127 mm), for manual boring when the CNC is not in use. Head tilt is 90° left and right and 45° up and down. The machine weighs 3500 lb (1587 kg) and needs 7.08 x 6.66 x 7.5 ft (2.15 x 2.02 x 2.28 m). Sharp's power consumption rows for this model do not agree between columns, so take the electrical supply from the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
60 - 4500 rpm, Digital Variable Speed, with a 3 hp (2.25 kW) motor on an R-8 taper. The speed is set through the digital drive, which is the feature that separates this model from the TMV-MP-3.
02
Three. The standard accessory list names the MILLPWR G2 3 axes CNC system and 3 axes ball screws and servo drives. Travels are 31 in (787 mm), 15.5 in (393 mm) and 5 in (127 mm).
03
Yes. Sharp fits safety handwheels and a 3 axes digital readout system on the table, saddle and quill, and the quill has three feeds of 0.0015, 0.003, 0.005 in (0.0381, 0.0762, 0.127 mm) per revolution.
04
The TMV-DVS-MP-2 has two CNC axes and is listed at 2,860 lb (1,300 kg). The TMV-DVS-MP-3 has three CNC axes and is listed at 3500 lb (1587 kg). Both share the Digital Variable Speed head, the R-8 taper and the 3 hp (2.25 kW) motor.
