Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Spinner. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Spinner TC600 is the middle size of the TC lathe series, a single-turret turning center with a maximum turning diameter of 400 mm and a maximum turning length of 650 mm. X travel is 275 mm and Z travel is 700 mm, and the turret takes up to 16 tool stations.

Much of the table is a list of choices instead of fixed values, and the machine a shop ends up with depends on them. Bar capacity is 65 - 85 mm and maximum spindle speed is 3,400 - 5,000 rpm. Spinner's page does not say which speed goes with which bore. As a rule the larger bore comes with the slower spindle, so decide first whether the work is bar up to 85 mm or smaller stock that wants the higher speed. Tool holders are VDI30, VDI40 or BMT45, another decision to settle at order because it fixes the tooling the shop has to stock.

Two rows take the lathe beyond plain 2-axis turning. A Y axis with 90 mm of travel is an option. That is what off-centre holes, flats and keyways need, though the table gives no driven-tool speed or power, so ask for those figures along with the Y axis. The second end takes either a CNC-controlled tailstock or a sub-spindle: the tailstock for shafts that use the full 650 mm, the sub-spindle for parts whose cut-off side has to be finished in the same cycle.

Control is Siemens or Fanuc, and Robobox is the automation listed. Within the series the TC400 sits below with 280 mm of turning diameter, 500 mm of length and a 52 mm bar capacity, and the TC 800 above with 500 mm, 900 mm and 85 - 110 mm.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

400 mm maximum turning diameter and 650 mm turning length on 275 mm of X and 700 mm of Z travel
Bar capacity of 65 - 85 mm depending on the spindle chosen
Optional Y axis with 90 mm of travel for off-centre features
Turret with up to 16 tool stations, on VDI30, VDI40 or BMT45 tool holders
A CNC-controlled tailstock or a sub-spindle can be fitted, and the control is a choice of Siemens or Fanuc

Limitations

The Y axis is an option, and its 90 mm of travel limits how far off centre a feature can be machined
Tailstock and sub-spindle are listed as alternatives, so shaft support and second-side machining are not both available on one machine
Top speed is between 3,400 and 5,000 rpm depending on the spindle, against 5,200 - 6,000 rpm on the TC400, which slows small-diameter work
Spinner's page states no spindle power, torque or driven-tool figures for the TC600

Best For

Bar-fed parts up to 85 mm in diameter with the larger spindle Chuck parts up to 400 mm in turning diameter Shafts up to 650 mm long supported by the CNC-controlled tailstock Turned parts with off-centre features, using the optional 90 mm Y axis Parts finished on both ends on a sub-spindle version

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the turning capacity of the Spinner TC600?

The TC600 turns up to 400 mm in diameter and 650 mm in length. X travel is 275 mm and Z travel is 700 mm. The turret has up to 16 tool stations, and a CNC-controlled tailstock can be fitted to support long parts over that length.

02 What bar capacity and spindle speed does the TC600 offer?

Bar capacity is listed as 65 - 85 mm and maximum spindle speed as 3,400 - 5,000 rpm. Both are ranges because more than one spindle is offered. Spinner's page does not state which speed belongs to which bore. Normally the larger bore runs slower, so confirm the pairing for the spindle you intend to order.

03 Is the Y axis standard on the TC600?

No. The table gives the Y travel as 90 mm and marks it as an option. A lathe ordered without it is limited to features on the centreline. The table also gives no driven-tool speed or power, so request those figures together with the Y axis if milling is part of the job.

04 Can the TC600 have both a tailstock and a sub-spindle?

The table lists a CNC-controlled tailstock or a sub-spindle, which reads as one or the other at the second end of the machine. Choose the tailstock for shafts that need support along the 650 mm turning length, and the sub-spindle for parts that have to be machined on the cut-off side in the same cycle.

05 How does the TC600 differ from the TC 800?

The TC 800 is the next size up: 500 mm of turning diameter and 900 mm of turning length against 400 mm and 650 mm, bar capacity of 85 - 110 mm against 65 - 85 mm, and an optional Y axis of 120 mm against 90 mm. The TC 800 is slower, at 2,600 - 4,000 rpm, where the TC600 reaches 3,400 - 5,000 rpm. Both have up to 16 tool stations.
