We will introduce you to TAKISAWA’s outstanding multi-tasking machine (turning center) TM-4000Y2, which combines the features of lathe and machining center!
The processes of blank feed, turning x milling x front and back machining, and discharge can be integrated into one machine!
This machine has opposed twin-spindle (8-inch chuck) and two turrets (12-station x 2) having upper/lower Y-axes. By the combination of front and back machining by the opposed twin-spindle and the turrets having the upper/lower Y-axes, it provides a wide range of turning and milling capabilities.
This machine excels in bar machining. It can feed blanks of up to Φ82 through the spindle on the main spindle side.
In addition to the wide range of machining capabilities, process integration is the machine’s strong point.

Review by developer
As TM-4000 has a structure similar to the earlier model TS-4000, combined machining CNC lathe (with Y-axis and opposed twin-spindle), we attempted to reduce the cost by promoting commonality of the parts.
TM-4000Y2, which excels in bar machining, also supports flange workpieces. The optional gantry loader can transfer workpieces of up to 16 kg with the two hands (for one hand, up to 8 kg).
TM-4000Y2 is not a dedicated machine but a general purpose machine supporting a wide variety of workpieces!
We struggled to develop this machine to achieve both satisfaction of user requirements and low-price design.
