Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Tongtai TCS-2000II 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 Tongtai TCS-2000II is a compact two-axis turning center with an 8 in chuck on an A2-6 spindle nose. It turns up to Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in), or Ø320 mm (Ø12.6 in) as an option, over a maximum length of 352 mm (13.9 in). Swing is Ø520 mm (Ø20.5 in).

X travel is 170 mm (6.7 in) and Z travel is 400 mm (15.7 in), both with 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids. The short Z stroke defines the machine. It is a chucker for discs, flanges, bushings and short shaft work, and the 352 mm turning length leaves no room for long shafts.

The spindle runs to 4,500 rpm as standard, with a 3,000 rpm version as an option, and is rated 15/11 kW (20.1/14.8 hp). The table gives no torque figure. It also lists no bar capacity, tailstock or driven tools, so anyone planning bar work or milled features should confirm those points with Tongtai first.

The turret has 12 stations as standard and 8 as an option. Indexing takes 0.2 s to the adjacent station and 0.6 s for a full-station move, which keeps non-cutting time low on parts that use many tools for short cuts.

At 2,380 x 1,950 x 2,190 mm (93.7 x 76.8 x 86.2 in) in width, depth and height and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb), the machine asks little of the floor. The TD-2500Y, a larger Tongtai turning machine, has a 10 in chuck on an A2-8 nose and weighs 6,100 kg (13,448 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Turret indexes in 0.2 s to the adjacent station and 0.6 s across the full turret
30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapid traverse on both X and Z
Small footprint of 2,380 x 1,950 mm (93.7 x 76.8 in) at 3,300 kg (7,275 lb)
4,500 rpm spindle rated 15/11 kW (20.1/14.8 hp) on an A2-6 nose
12-station turret as standard

Limitations

Maximum turning length is 352 mm (13.9 in), so long shafts are out
The table lists no bar capacity, no tailstock and no driven tools
The only spindle alternative listed is a 3,000 rpm version; nothing faster than 4,500 rpm is offered
No control is named in Tongtai's table and no spindle torque is given

Best For

Chucking work up to Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in) in diameter on an 8 in chuck Short parts within the 352 mm (13.9 in) turning length Parts with many short operations, helped by 0.2 s adjacent-station indexing Shops with limited floor space, at 2,380 x 1,950 mm (93.7 x 76.8 in)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size parts can the TCS-2000II turn?

Maximum turning diameter is Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in), with Ø320 mm (Ø12.6 in) listed as an option, and maximum turning length is 352 mm (13.9 in). Swing is Ø520 mm (Ø20.5 in). The chuck is 8 in, so parts near the maximum diameter need suitable jaws or fixturing.

02 What spindle does the TCS-2000II have?

An A2-6 spindle nose with an 8 in chuck, rated 15/11 kW (20.1/14.8 hp). Maximum speed is 4,500 rpm as standard, and a 3,000 rpm version is listed as an option. Tongtai's table gives no torque figure for either version.

03 How many tools does the TCS-2000II turret hold?

The standard turret has 12 stations, and an 8-station turret is listed as an option. Index time is 0.2 s between adjacent stations and 0.6 s for a full-station move. The table does not say what tool shank or boring bar sizes the turret accepts.

04 Does the TCS-2000II have live tooling, a tailstock or a bar capacity figure?

Tongtai's table for this model lists none of them. The rows cover turning capacity, X and Z travel, the spindle, the turret and the machine size only. Treat the TCS-2000II as a two-axis chucking lathe unless Tongtai confirms otherwise for the configuration you are quoted.

05 How does the TCS-2000II compare with the TD-2500Y?

The TCS-2000II is the smaller machine: an 8 in chuck on an A2-6 nose, 352 mm (13.9 in) of turning length and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). The TD-2500Y has a 10 in chuck on an A2-8 nose, turns 530-570 mm (20.9-22.4 in) long depending on the tool, lists a Ø64 mm (Ø2.5 in) bar capacity and weighs 6,100 kg (13,448 lb).
