Following the launch of the entirely new brand of Vulcan high-quality cost-effective machine tools, the Engineering Technology Group (ETG) is delighted to announce the arrival of the new TC200 turning centre.
As part of the already popular TC Series, the TC200 is the smallest and most compact machine in an extremely expansive range.
The TC200 simply signifies Turning Centre with a 200mm diameter chuck size. As the most compact machine in the range, ETG’s TC series has seven size variants that reach up to the largest machine, the TC800. The TC200 is available in four variants to meet the complete needs of small component turning operations. The base model TC200 is the entry-level cost-efficient solution with a single spindle and single turret. As a base model, the TC200 has a swing over bed of 460mm, a maximum turning diameter of 280mm, a spindle speed range of 25 to 4200rpm and a spindle bore of 61mm diameter; something that when combined with the ETG bar feeding solutions can deliver the perfect cost-effective production cell. All this is packed into a footprint of just 2.44m by 1.6m, and with an overall weight of 4500kg, the robust build quality is assured.
For manufacturers looking to reduce secondary operations, ETG can supply the TC200M variant. This machine provides the opportunity for live tooling stations on the turret for engineers looking to increase their capabilities. In addition to the TC200 and TC200M, the TC200 is available with an ‘L’ variant, the TC200L – this is designated as the long bed version that extends Z-axis travel from the standard 490mm to 740mm. With the facility to completely configure the machine to the requirements of the end-user, ETG is offering the TC200 Series in four variants – the TC200, TC200L, TC200M and the TC200ML with a longer bed and live tooling.
