CNC Slant Bed Lathe Machine TK500

The TK500 is designed for medium‑duty precision turning and is suitable for various manufacturing applications, including general engineering, production of shafts and cylindrical components, small‑to‑medium batch production, and other industrial machining tasks that require high accuracy and repeatability.

Overall machine dimensions are 2750 × 1860 × 1850 mm (L × W × H). Bed width is 400 mm and the machine weight is approximately 4000 kg. Plan for sufficient floor space and clearances for loading/unloading and maintenance.

The TK500 provides X‑axis travel of 210 mm and Z‑axis travel of 560 mm. Rapid traverse speed for both X and Z axes is 30 m/min.

Maximum turning diameter is 400 mm. The maximum processing (turning) length for the TK500 is 500 mm.

Spindle speed range is 50–4500 rpm (some configurations may be limited to 4000 rpm). Spindle motor power is available in 11 kW (continuous) / 15 kW (15 min) options. Maximum spindle torque is 235 N·m. Spindle nose options include A2‑6 or A2‑8, and spindle bore diameter options are 65 mm or 80 mm depending on configuration.

Positioning accuracy is ±0.008 mm and repeatability is ±0.004 mm. The machine meets approximately IT6 processing precision.

The TK500 is equipped with a servo 8‑station turret. Tool holders support 25 × 25 mm square shanks, with options for Ø40 tool holders depending on turret configuration.

Maximum bar capacity is typically 50 mm (with 66 mm optional depending on spindle bore). Standard chuck size is 8 inches (verify exact chuck option with supplier).

The tailstock has body travel of 450 mm, uses a live center configuration, and the taper is MT5 on the TK500.

X and Z axis motor power is 1.8 kW each. Spindle motor options are 11/15 kW as noted; final machine electrical supply and power distribution requirements should be confirmed with the manufacturer or your local dealer.

With a spindle speed range up to 4500 rpm (or 4000 rpm in some configs), robust 11/15 kW spindle motor options, and 235 N·m torque, the TK500 handles a wide range of materials from softer alloys to common steels. Choose cutting tools, speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material and tooling for optimal results.

Regular maintenance includes scheduled lubrication of slides and ways, inspection and replacement of cutting fluids, checking spindle and axis alignments, periodic tightening of mechanical fasteners, and following any manufacturer service intervals. For detailed maintenance procedures and intervals, consult the manufacturer’s maintenance manual.

A specific CNC control model is not listed in the provided specification. Control type and options can vary by configuration — contact the manufacturer or dealer to confirm which CNC controller and software are included or available as options.

Key differences are processing capacity and travel ranges: the TK350 has shorter Z travel and smaller max processing length; the TK1000 offers a much longer Z travel and 1000 mm max processing length. The TK500 is the medium option with a 500 mm processing length, 400 mm max turning diameter, and the mid‑range travel (210 mm X, 560 mm Z). Other features such as spindle options, turret type and precision are similar across the series but confirm exact specs per model.
