How much does the Tongtai TMV-1350A cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Tongtai TMV-1350A 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 TMV-1350A is a 50-taper vertical machining center for heavy parts: 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of X travel, 750 mm (29.5 in) of Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z over a 1,500 x 750 mm (59.1 x 29.5 in) table that carries 1,300 kg (2,866 lb). The machine itself weighs 13,000 kg (28,660 lb).
Everything in the table points to torque over speed. The standard belt-drive spindle tops out at 3,500 rpm with 18.5/15 kW (24.8/20.1 hp). An optional high-torque gearbox spindle is listed at 731 Nm (539 lb-ft), the kind of figure needed to drive large face mills, big drills and boring bars in steel and cast iron. The table does not give a torque figure for the standard spindle, so compare the two torque curves before deciding whether the gearbox is needed.
The same priorities show in the axis and tool-change figures. Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X and Y and 15 m/min (591 ipm) on Z, and a tool change takes 5.1 s tool-to-tool. Neither figure favours work with many short cuts and frequent tool changes. They suit long cuts in large workpieces, where time in the cut dominates the cycle. The magazine holds 24 tools, or 32 as an option, and accepts tools up to 15 kg (33 lb).
Within the TMV family the step up is large. The TMV-1050QII has a No.40 spindle, a 1,100 x 600 mm (43.3 x 23.6 in) table with an 800 kg (1,764 lb) load limit and a weight of 5,900 kg (13,007 lb), so the TMV-1350A is more than twice as heavy.
Installation needs planning. The footprint is 3,700 x 3,640 mm (145.7 x 143.3 in) with a height of 3,250 mm (128.0 in). The table lists no control, so confirm the CNC with Tongtai.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 7/24 taper No.50 spindle for large-shank tooling
- Optional high-torque gearbox spindle listed at 731 Nm (539 lb-ft)
- 1,300 kg (2,866 lb) table load on a 1,500 x 750 mm (59.1 x 29.5 in) table
- 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z travel for tall parts and long tools
- Tools up to 15 kg (33 lb) in a 24-tool magazine, with 32 as an option
- 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) of machine mass behind the cut
Limitations
- The standard belt-drive spindle is limited to 3,500 rpm, which rules out high-speed work with small cutters
- Rapids are 20 / 20 / 15 m/min (787 / 787 / 591 ipm), slow for parts with many short moves
- Tool change takes 5.1 s tool-to-tool
- The 731 Nm (539 lb-ft) figure belongs to the optional gearbox spindle; no torque is listed for the standard one
- No control is listed in Tongtai's table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Tongtai lists 731 Nm (539 lb-ft) for the optional high-torque gearbox spindle. The standard spindle is a belt-drive type with 3,500 rpm and 18.5/15 kW (24.8/20.1 hp), and the table gives no torque figure for it. If low-speed torque is the reason for buying, make sure the quotation names the gearbox spindle.
02
Not on the listed figures. The standard spindle stops at 3,500 rpm and rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X and Y and 15 m/min (591 ipm) on Z. The TMV-1050QII is the Tongtai machine in this family for that work, with direct-drive spindle options up to 15,000 rpm on a 1,100 x 600 mm (43.3 x 23.6 in) table.
03
The table is 1,500 x 750 mm (59.1 x 29.5 in) and carries 1,300 kg (2,866 lb). Travels are 1,350 mm (53.1 in) in X, 750 mm (29.5 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z. Y travel matches the table depth, so the spindle can reach the full width of a part that fills the table front to back.
04
5.1 s tool-to-tool. The magazine holds 24 tools as standard, with 32 as an option, and takes tools up to 15 kg (33 lb). The change time is long, which is the usual trade for swinging heavy No.50 tools, and it matters little on parts where each tool stays in the cut for minutes.
05
The machine weighs 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) and measures 3,700 x 3,640 x 3,250 mm (145.7 x 143.3 x 128.0 in), width by depth by height. Check floor capacity, lifting equipment and door height against those figures. The table names no control and gives no power supply figures, so request both with the foundation drawing.
