Q: How much does the Tongtai TD-2500Y cost?

The price estimate for the Tongtai TD-2500Y 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/tongtai-td-2500y#price; the request is passed to Tongtai or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Tongtai TD-2500Y 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 TD-2500Y is a turning center with a Y axis and a CS-axis spindle, built on a 75° slant bed. The Y axis travels ±51 mm (±2.0 in), which allows off-centre drilling, flats and keyways to be machined in the same clamping as the turning. The CS axis uses an optical rotary encoder with a 0.001° minimum increment and has a brake to hold position while a cut is taken.

Turning capacity depends on the tooling. Maximum turning diameter is listed as Ø360-Ø410 mm (Ø14.2-Ø16.1 in) and maximum turning length as 530-570 mm (20.9-22.4 in), both varying by tool, under a swing of Ø700 mm (Ø27.6 in). X travel is 230 mm (9.1 in) and Z travel 600 mm (23.6 in). Rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Z and 15 m/min (591 ipm) on Y.

The spindle has an A2-8 nose and a 10 in chuck, with a 12 in chuck as an option. Speed is 3,500 rpm as standard or 2,500 rpm as an option, and power is listed as 18.5/15/11 kW (24.8/20.1/14.8 hp). Bar capacity is Ø64 mm (Ø2.5 in), or Ø74 mm (Ø2.9 in) as an option.

Four turret interfaces are listed, and the choice sets the station count: VDI-40 and BMT-65 give 12 stations, while VDI-30 and BMT-55 give 16. Decide this before ordering, because it fixes the toolholder system for the life of the machine. The table gives no speed or power for driven tools, so ask for those figures along with the turret quotation.

Controls are the Fanuc 0i-TF Plus or Siemens 828D, with a 10.4 in or 15 in display. The machine measures 3,290 x 2,180 x 2,337 mm (129.5 x 85.8 x 92.0 in) in width, depth and height and weighs 6,100 kg (13,448 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Y axis with ±51 mm (±2.0 in) of travel for off-centre milling and drilling
CS-axis with an optical rotary encoder, a 0.001° minimum increment and a brake
Four turret interfaces: VDI-40 or BMT-65 with 12 stations, VDI-30 or BMT-55 with 16
Bar capacity of Ø64 mm (Ø2.5 in), or Ø74 mm (Ø2.9 in) as an option
75° slant bed, a steep angle that helps chips fall clear of the cutting zone
Choice of Fanuc 0i-TF Plus or Siemens 828D with a 10.4 in or 15 in display

Limitations

Y-axis rapid is 15 m/min (591 ipm), half the 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) of X and Z
Turning diameter and length are not fixed figures: Ø360-Ø410 mm (Ø14.2-Ø16.1 in) and 530-570 mm (20.9-22.4 in), varying by tool
No driven-tool speed or power is given in the table
The 12 in chuck and the Ø74 mm (Ø2.9 in) bar capacity are options, and the optional spindle speed is 2,500 rpm

Best For

Turned parts with milled flats, cross holes or keyways within ±51 mm (±2.0 in) of centre Bar work up to Ø64 mm (Ø2.5 in), or Ø74 mm (Ø2.9 in) with the option Chucked parts held in a 10 in chuck or the optional 12 in chuck Shafts within the 530-570 mm (20.9-22.4 in) turning length

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the Y axis on the TD-2500Y add?

It moves the tool ±51 mm (±2.0 in) off the spindle centreline. Together with the CS axis, which positions the spindle in 0.001° increments and holds it with a brake, that allows flats, keyways and off-centre holes to be cut without moving the part to a mill. Y rapid is 15 m/min (591 ipm), against 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Z.

02 Which turret options does the TD-2500Y offer?

Tongtai lists four: VDI-40 with 12 stations, VDI-30 with 16 stations, BMT-65 with 12 stations and BMT-55 with 16 stations. The smaller interfaces give more stations and the larger ones give fewer. The table does not state driven-tool speed or power for any of them.

03 What are the bar and chuck capacities of the TD-2500Y?

Standard bar capacity is Ø64 mm (Ø2.5 in), with Ø74 mm (Ø2.9 in) as an option. The standard chuck is 10 in and a 12 in chuck is optional, on an A2-8 spindle nose. Spindle speed is 3,500 rpm as standard, with 2,500 rpm listed as the optional figure.

04 Why are the turning diameter and length of the TD-2500Y given as ranges?

Tongtai lists the maximum turning diameter as Ø360-Ø410 mm (Ø14.2-Ø16.1 in) and the maximum turning length as 530-570 mm (20.9-22.4 in), and notes that both vary by tool. The table does not break the figures down by turret type, so for a part near the top of either range, ask which turret and holder the figure applies to.

05 Which controls and what floor space does the TD-2500Y need?

The control is either the Fanuc 0i-TF Plus or the Siemens 828D, each with a 10.4 in or 15 in display. The machine is 3,290 x 2,180 x 2,337 mm (129.5 x 85.8 x 92.0 in), width by depth by height, and weighs 6,100 kg (13,448 lb). Allow extra length beyond that for a bar feeder if one is planned.
