Horizontal Boring and Milling Machine for Metal TX68 Boring Machine

The specification lists the TX68 as "Normal," which indicates it is a conventional (non-CNC) horizontal boring and milling machine. CNC retrofits or automation upgrades may be possible through third-party suppliers—contact the vendor for retrofit options and costs.

Key specs: Horizontal type; table size 930 x 840 mm; table travels X 1400 mm, Y 750 mm, Z 650 mm; W-axis travel 300 mm; spindle motor 7.5 kW; spindle speed range 25–530 rpm; three axes, single spindle; positioning accuracy 0.002 mm (X, Y, Z); max table load 300 kg; dimensions 2700 x 1600 x 2100 mm; weight listed as 5000; warranty 13 months.

The machine supports 380V, 415V, or 220V. Confirm the correct voltage version when ordering and ensure a stable three-phase supply and properly rated electrical protection and wiring installed by a qualified electrician.

Spindle motor power is 7.5 kW with a speed range of 25–530 rpm. This low-to-moderate speed range with substantial power is well suited for heavy boring, large-diameter drilling, and rough-to-finishing milling of metal workpieces.

Positioning accuracy is specified as 0.002 mm on the X, Y, and Z axes, indicating high-precision capability suitable for tight-tolerance machining.

Table area is 930 x 840 mm and maximum table load is 300 kg. Combined with the stated travels (X 1400 mm, Y 750 mm, Z 650 mm), the machine can handle a wide range of medium to large components within those limits.

Typical uses include precision drilling and milling of metal components, manufacturing of machine parts and fixtures, boring of large-diameter holes, and general heavy metalworking where high rigidity and accuracy are required.

Allow space for the machine dimensions (2700 x 1600 x 2100 mm), safe access for operators, and service clearance. The listed weight is 5000 (confirm unit with vendor) so a crane or forklift and a prepared foundation or reinforced floor are required. Professional installation and leveling are recommended.

Common maintenance includes daily cleaning of chips and coolant, regular lubrication of slides and leadscrews, periodic inspection and tightening of fasteners, checking oil levels and coolant condition, and scheduled spindle and alignment checks. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance manual for intervals and procedures.

The product description does not list included accessories. Typical accessory options may include coolant systems, various chucks and boring heads, clamping fixtures, and digital readouts (DRO). Contact the supplier for a list of included items and available options.

Many conventional machines can be customized with options such as DROs, upgraded tooling, guarding, or third-party CNC retrofit kits. For available factory or aftermarket upgrades and lead times, contact the supplier or manufacturer.

The specification states a 13-month warranty. Typical coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Exact terms, exclusions, and start date depend on the seller—request the detailed warranty policy before purchase.

Recommended safety measures include machine guards around moving parts, functioning emergency-stop controls, regular guard and interlock inspections, operator training, and use of appropriate PPE (safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves where safe). Follow local safety regulations and the manufacturer's safety guidelines.

Contact the machine supplier or manufacturer with the model (TX68) and serial number for spare parts and service. Ask about availability of common consumables (belts, seals, bearings), lead times, and recommended service partners in your region.
