How much does the TRAK TMC14 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the TRAK TMC14 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 TRAK TMC14 is the longest TMC toolroom machining center, with 60 in (1,524 mm) of X travel over a 62.99 x 23.62 in (1,600 x 600 mm) table. Y is 27 in (686 mm), Z is 25 in (635 mm), the spindle is 40 Taper and the control is the ProtoTRAK RMX CNC.
Think of it as a stretched TMC12. X travel is 60 in instead of 50 in (1,270 mm) on the TMC12. The table is 62.99 in long instead of 51.18 in on the TMC12. Table load is 2,640 lbs (1,198 kg) instead of 2,200 lbs (998 kg) on the TMC12. Net weight is 16,500 lbs (7,484 kg) instead of 14,300 lbs (6,486 kg) on the TMC12, and the footprint widens to suit. Y, Z, spindle, tool changer and height are the same in both tables.
That shared hardware is a spindle rated 22.5 hp (16.8 kW) peak / 15 hp (11.2 kW) continuous, turning 50 - 8,000 rpm as standard with 12,000 rpm optional, in a nose 3.75 in (95 mm) across with 2,200 lbs (998 kg) of clamping force at 90 psi. The carousel has 16 pockets for CAT 40 or BT 40 holders. On a table this long, 16 tools is the number to plan around: a row of different parts can exhaust the carousel before it exhausts the travel.
Length also raises the question of traverse time. Rapids are 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) in Production Ops and 400 ipm (10.2 m/min) in Toolroom Ops, and an end-to-end move across 60 in is noticeably longer at the lower rate.
The footprint is 157.48 x 144.76 in (4,000 x 3,677 mm) with coolant tank, auger and pendant rotated. Shipping weight is 17,000 lbs and the machine stands 120.5 in (3,061 mm) with the head fully up, so door height, floor capacity and the rigging plan need checking before an order is placed.
