Ward CNC Offers Takisawa Taiwan ‘Japanese Quality At Taiwanese Prices’ Turning Solutions
(PRWEB) July 30, 2006
The comprehensive range of turning machines offered exclusively in the UK by Ward CNC of Sheffield (http://www.wardcnc.com) includes a series of high-specification yet cost-competitive Takisawa Taiwan lathes with functionality and specifications that illustrate how the machines offer ‘Japanese quality at Taiwanese prices’.
Takisawa Taiwan machines utilise a special one-piece, thermally balanced bed that promotes powerful and stable operation, coupled with four-track super rigid precision linear guideways and high-speed servo turrets. Fanuc 18i or 21iT CNC feature as standard, incorporating the user-friendly Manual Guide i programming functionality.
With C and Y axes plus 12 driven tools, the Takisawa Taiwan EX-910 twin-spindle CNC slant bed lathe has X, Y, Z axes travels of 245 mm, 160 mm and 710 mm, as well as 710 mm travel in the B axis (right-hand spindle). It features full C axis capability on both spindles, and accommodates bar capacities of 75 mm and 52 mm (left- and right-hand spindles, respectively) to complement maximum turning diameter and length capabilities of 340 mm and 660 mm. Both left- and right-hand spindles incorporate oil-cooled Fanuc built-in motor providing exceptional performance for turning and C-axis operations.
Swing over the bed is 680 mm, chuck size is 255 mm on both spindles, and spindle speeds are up to 3,500 rev/min from the 22/18.5 kW motors on both spindles. Driven tool speed is 4,000 rev/min from a 5.5 kW motor. Rapid traverse rates are 24 m/min.
As standard, the machine is supplied with auto tool setting arm, parts catcher and swarf conveyor. Bar feed systems and collet chucks are options.
With a swing over the bed of 400 mm, the Takisawa Taiwan EX-108 has a crosslide travel of 320 mm and a between centres distance of 645 mm. Standard turning diameter is 216 mm, and with a 203 mm chuck the machine has a maximum turning diameter and length of 320 mm and 530 mm, respectively. Bar capacity is 52 mm and spindle speeds range from 60-4,000 revs/min (7.5/11 kW) for the 12-tool turret machine.
Auto tool setting arm, parts catcher, swarf conveyor and programmable quill tailstock are standard; collet chucks and bar feed systems are options.
With C axis and 12 driven tools, the Taiwan Takisawa EX-310 three-axis slant bed CNC lathe offers users a level of single set-up turn/mill/drill capability that is unparalleled on a cost-to-performance basis. Swing over the bed is 495 mm, between centres distance is 845 mm and the maximum turning diameter and length is 350 mm and 710 mm, respectively. The 75 mm bar capacity machine has rapids of 20/24 m/min and a spindle speed up to 3,500 revs/min from the Fanuc 15/22 kW oil-cooled built-in motor providing exceptional performance for turning and C axis operations. Driven tools speeds are 40-4,000 revs/min.
Auto tool setting arm, parts catcher and swarf conveyor are standard, and the use of the optional auto toolsetter, bar feed and robot interface systems can significantly enhance the machine’s capability for the unmanned production of complex parts. Fanuc 21iT CNC incorporating the user-friendly Manual Guide i programming functionality is standard.
The heavy-duty Takisawa Taiwan EX-122 CNC lathe is of cast iron slant bed construction combined with extra heavy duty linear guideway technology. The long bed EX-122 universal has maximum turning lengths and diameters of 1,650 mm and 610 mm, respectively, coupled with a 22/26 kW motor producing spindle speeds from 12 to 1,200 revs/min. (The EX-122/H variant also available offers a 30/37 kW main motor, which coupled with the standard two-range geared headstock offers excellent power and torque capabilities.)
The EX-122 has a swing over the bed of 910 mm and 560 mm over the crosslide, as well as X and Z axes strokes of 330 mm and 1,650 mm, respectively, and a 200 mm spindle bore. Rapid traverse rates are up to 24 m/min and the Fanuc 21iT CNC complements the 10-station tool turret to offer users a multitude of machining alternatives on a machine that is fitted with a 533 mm (21 inches) three-jaw hydraulic chuck as standard.
Fanuc 21iT CNC incorporating the user-friendly Manual Guide i programming functionality, auto tool setting arm, bar feed interface and swarf conveyor are all supplied as standard; bar feed systems and steady rests are optional extras.

I remember the frustration of not being able to find the correct tool at the time, so when I started selling tools, I wanted to help others facing this problem.
