Sharp TMV-FC-3

Q: How much does the Sharp TMV-FC-3 cost?

The price estimate for the Sharp TMV-FC-3 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-tmv-fc-3#price; the request is passed to Sharp or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Sharp TMV-FC-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

The Sharp TMV-FC-3 is the three-axis TMV knee mill for buyers who want a Fagor control. A FAGOR 8055i CNC drives ball screws on all three axes, and Sharp lists it with G code programming, conversational programming and Teach-In Mode.

It has the smallest listed footprint of the three-axis TMV machines. Floor area is 5.83 x 6.25 x 7.33 ft (1.77 x 1.90 x 2.23 m), where the TMV-MP-3 needs 7.08 x 6.66 x 7.5 ft (2.15 x 2.02 x 2.28 m), and weight is 3300 lb (1497 kg). For a shop fitting CNC into the corner where a manual mill used to stand, those are the rows to read first.

Travels match the family: 31 in (787 mm) and 15.5 in (393 mm) for the table and 5 in (127 mm) in Z. The table itself is 10 x 54 in (254 x 1372 mm). An R-8 spindle with a 3 hp (2.23 kW) motor covers 60 - 4500 rpm.

Sharp's option list for the FC models goes into the control more than the MP lists do. A spindle interface, a coolant on/off interface and a remote handwheel are all listed as optional items, so decide before ordering how much of the machine the program should switch. As delivered, the standard list covers the CNC system, the ball screws and servo drives, auto lube, a digital readout and a cross way cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the TMV-FC-3 control do?

It is a FAGOR 8055i CNC with three axes of control. Sharp states that the FAGOR CNC has G code and conversational type programming with Teach-In Mode, and lists 3 axes precision ball screws and a 3 axes digital readout system.

02 How large is the TMV-FC-3?

Floor area is 5.83 x 6.25 x 7.33 ft (1.77 x 1.90 x 2.23 m) and weight 3300 lb (1497 kg). The table is 10 x 54 in (254 x 1372 mm) and travels 31 in (787 mm), so the swept width is greater than the base.

03 Which is heavier, the TMV-FC-3 or the TMV-FC-2?

The TMV-FC-3, at 3300 lb (1497 kg). The two-axis TMV-FC-2 is listed at 2,860 lb (1,300 kg). Both use the FAGOR 8055i and an R-8 spindle with variable speed up to 4500 rpm.

04 What are the travels of the TMV-FC-3?

31 in (787 mm) in X, 15.5 in (393 mm) in Y and 5 in (127 mm) in Z. The ram travels 18.5 in (470 mm) and the knee 15.3 in (388.62 mm). Spindle center to column is 9.8-28.3 in (248.92 - 718.82 mm).
