TCK46A: The Precision Turnmaster for High-Speed, High-Mix Manufacturing

Overview
The TCK46A isn’t just a lathe—it’s your gateway to precision turning mastery. Engineered with Taiwan HIWIN linear guides, a 3500rpm servo spindle, and hydraulic 8-station turret, it delivers IT7-grade accuracy on shafts, valves, and automotive components. Real users report 35% faster thread machining and 90% reduction in setup errors for mixed-batch production. From medical implants to motorcycle drivetrains, this machine transforms complexity into profitability.

1. Surgical Precision on Demanding Geometries

Beyond Standard Turning: Mastering Threads, Cones & Freeform Surfaces
The TCK46A’s 30° slant bed and pre-stretched C3 ball screws enable unmatched stability for:

Medical bone screws: M12×1.75 threads with ±0.005mm pitch accuracy
Hydraulic valve spools: 0.8μm Ra finish on hardened steel (HRC 55+)
E-bike motor shafts: Concentricity ≤0.01mm across 350mm lengths

"Switching to TCK46A cut our valve body machining time from 22 to 14 minutes. The hydraulic tailstock eliminated 3 setups."
— Hans Weber, Production Manager, RheinValve GmbH

2. Engineering Excellence: Where Rigidity Meets Intelligence

Core Innovations Driving 40% Lower TCO

Thermo-symmetric castings: Dual-aged HT300 iron reduces vibration by 40% vs. flat-bed lathes
Zero-backlash torque: 7.5N·m servo motors + direct-drive ball screws achieve 0.003mm repeatability
Smart lubrication: Integrated oil-cooled guides maintain viscosity stability in 5–40°C workshops
