Sharp TMV-MP-2

Q: How much does the Sharp TMV-MP-2 cost?

The price estimate for the Sharp TMV-MP-2 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-mp-2#price; the request is passed to Sharp or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Sharp TMV-MP-2 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-MP-2 is a knee mill with two of its axes under CNC. Ball screws and servo drives move the table lengthwise and crosswise under an Acu-Rite MILLPWR G2 control; the quill is still fed by hand, with a digital readout on it. Sharp describes the machine as simple and easy to use, and the layout bears that out: it is a manual toolroom mill that can also run a contour.

Travel is 31 in (787 mm) in X and 15.5 in (393 mm) in Y on a 10 x 54 in (254 x 1,371 mm) table. The quill gives 5 in (127 mm) of Z, the knee another 15.3 in (390 mm) of vertical adjustment and the ram 18.5 in (470 mm) of reach, so the usual knee-mill tricks for getting at an awkward part all remain.

The spindle is an R-8 with a 3 hp (2.25 kW) motor and a variable speed range of 60~4500 rpm. The head tilts 90° left and right and 45° up and down.

Who is it for? A shop whose work is mostly one-offs: bolt circles, pockets, slots and profiles programmed at the machine in conversational form or loaded as G code, with depth set by the operator. Safety handwheels and an auto lube system are part of the standard build. It weighs 3500 lb (1587 kg).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which axes are CNC on the TMV-MP-2?

Two: longitudinal (X) and cross (Y). Sharp's feature list reads AcuRite Millpwr G2 CNC 2 axes control (Longitudinal, Cross). The quill and knee are positioned by hand, and a 3 axes digital readout covers the table, saddle and quill.

02 What is the work envelope of the TMV-MP-2?

Table travel is 31 in (787 mm) in X and 15.5 in (393 mm) in Y, quill travel is 5 in (127 mm), knee travel 15.3 in (390 mm) and ram travel 18.5 in (470 mm). The table measures 10 x 54 in (254 x 1,371 mm) and the spindle nose stands 6.5~22.4 in (165~570 mm) above it.

03 What spindle does the TMV-MP-2 have?

An R-8 taper spindle with a 3 hp (2.25 kW) motor and variable speed of 60~4500 rpm. The quill is 3.5 in (90 mm) in diameter with three power feeds of 0.0015/0.003/0.006 in (0.04/0.08/0.16 mm) per revolution.

04 How does the TMV-MP-2 differ from the TMV-MP-3?

The TMV-MP-3 puts a third axis under CNC: its standard list names 3 axes ball screws and servo drives where the TMV-MP-2 has two. Table travel of 31 in (787 mm) and 15.5 in (393 mm) and the 5 in (127 mm) Z stroke are the same on both.
