How much does the Tongtai THA-4000P cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Tongtai THA-4000P 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 THA-4000P is a horizontal machining center with a 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) table, a hydraulically driven automatic pallet changer and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids on all three axes. X and Y travel are 610 mm (24.0 in) each and Z travel is 660 mm (26.0 in). Standard table load is 400 kg (882 lb).
This model is unusually configurable, and most rows of its table carry an option. The table can be ordered as 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in), and a 700 kg (1,543 lb) load rating is listed as an option. The spindle is 7/24 taper No. 40 at 15,000 rpm as standard, with a 20,000 rpm version and a No. 50 taper listed as options. Standard power is 37/26/15 kW (49.6/34.9/20.1 hp), with 40/30 kW (53.6/40.2 hp) optional.
Torque is the figure that separates the spindles. The 15,000 rpm No. 40 spindle is listed at 249 Nm (184 lb-ft) and the optional No. 50 spindle at 420 Nm (310 lb-ft), which is about 69% more. A buyer cutting mostly aluminium and light steel sections would stay with No. 40 and look at the faster version. One roughing cast iron or steel with large cutters has a reason to ask about the No. 50.
The magazine starts at 40 tools and is offered with 60, 90, 120 or 240. Tool weight is 10 kg (22 lb), or 12 kg (26 lb) as an option. Magazine size sets how many different jobs can stay tooled up at once, so it deserves as much thought as the spindle.
Machine width is 2,120 mm (83.5 in). Depth is 4,750 mm (187.0 in), or 5,707 mm (224.7 in) as an option, and the table does not state a machine weight. Controls are the Fanuc 0i-MF Plus with a 15 in display or the Fanuc 31i-B Plus with a 10.4 in or 15 in display.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The standard spindle is 7/24 taper No. 40 at 15,000 rpm with 37/26/15 kW (49.6/34.9/20.1 hp) and 249 Nm (184 lb-ft). Options are a 20,000 rpm version, a 40/30 kW (53.6/40.2 hp) power rating and a No. 50 taper spindle listed at 420 Nm (310 lb-ft). The table does not give a maximum speed for the No. 50 spindle.
02
The standard table is 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) with a 400 kg (882 lb) load. A 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) table and a 700 kg (1,543 lb) load rating are both listed as options. The table lists a single set of travels, 610 mm (24.0 in) in X and Y and 660 mm (26.0 in) in Z, and does not say which table size the 700 kg rating goes with.
03
The standard magazine holds 40 tools. Optional magazines hold 60, 90, 120 or 240. Maximum tool weight is 10 kg (22 lb) as standard and 12 kg (26 lb) as an option, so check the heaviest holder and cutter you plan to run, particularly if the No. 50 spindle is being considered.
04
Mainly in table size and spindle choice. The THA-5000P has a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) table as standard with a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load, where this machine starts at 400 x 400 mm and 400 kg. The THA-5000P lists 15,000 rpm only, while the THA-4000P adds a 20,000 rpm option. Both list the same 249 Nm and 420 Nm torque figures and the same magazine sizes.
05
Controls are the Fanuc 0i-MF Plus with a 15 in display or the Fanuc 31i-B Plus with a 10.4 in or 15 in display. The machine is 2,120 mm (83.5 in) wide and 4,750 mm (187.0 in) deep, with 5,707 mm (224.7 in) given as an optional depth. Height and weight are not in the table, so request both before planning the installation.
