Takisawa TCC-1100

The Takisawa TCC-1100 is a compact 6 in (152 mm) chuck CNC lathe for short parts, with 171 mm (6.7 in) of maximum turning length, a 4,000 rpm spindle and a footprint of 1,200 × 1,370 mm (47.2 × 53.9 in). It sits below the TCC-2100, which carries an 8 in (203 mm) chuck, and its figures point at chucking work and short bar parts rather than shafts.

The turret choice sets the working diameter. Takisawa lists a direct-mount turret with 8 or 12 stations, and the maximum turning diameter is 220 mm (8.7 in) with the 8-station turret but 170 mm (6.7 in) with the 12-station one. More tools cost swing, so the decision should start from the largest diameter in the part mix and not from the tool count. Bar capacity is 42 mm (1.7 in), and the table notes that this depends on the chuck and cylinder fitted.

The standard spindle runs to 4,000 rpm, with 5,000 and 6,000 rpm listed as options. Power is 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) on the short-time rating and 3.7 kW (5.0 hp) continuous, and a 7.5 / 5.5 kW (10.1 / 7.4 hp) motor is the option. That suits light cuts on small diameters at high surface speed more than heavy roughing near the full 220 mm. Rapids are 24 m/min (945 in/min) in X and 30 m/min (1,181 in/min) in Z. A hydraulic tailstock is optional, so do not assume it on a base machine.

At 1,860 kg (4,101 lb) and 1,700 mm (66.9 in) high, the machine is easy to place. For unattended running Takisawa lists the TCC-1100G with a gantry loader. It takes workpieces up to φ100 × 60 mm and 0.7 kg, fed from a 14-pallet stocker carrying 25 kg per pallet at a 450 mm stacking height. On parts near that size limit the 0.7 kg figure is likely to be the real constraint, so weigh the blank before planning around the loader.
