Tong-Tai (Topper) Introduces the TVL-40-S4W, a Four Axis VTL with One Spindle and Two Turrets, to Help Reduce Machining Time.
Demand for Aluminum Wheel Manufacturing is very high not only in the United States but also throughout the world --- especially in China. The main criteria in machining these wheels, is not only the process, but the time it takes to machine them. With this in mind, Tong-Tai (Topper) developed the TVL-40-S4W, a four axis VTL with one spindle and two turrets, to help reduce the machining time.
VALLEY COTTAGE, NEW YORK (PRWEB) July 17, 2005 -- Demand for Aluminum Wheel Manufacturing is very high not only in the United States but also throughout the world --- especially in China. The main criteria in machining these wheels, is not only the process, but the time it takes to machine them. With this in mind, Tong-Tai (Topper) developed the TVL-40-S4W, a four axis VTL with one spindle and two turrets, to help reduce the machining time.
The TVL-40-S4W is made of solid cast iron construction and weighs 34,000 lbs. It is a box way VTL especially designed for the production of Aluminum Wheel ranging from 14" to 26" diameter. With its generic machine design, it is also well suited for other turning applications in this size range.
The machine has a 75HP main motor with an A2-11 nose. As it is designed for wheel production, there is also an available optional Finger Chuck. The maximum spindle speed is 2000 rpm. It has two turrets with 6 stations each. The X and Z travel for each turret is 20.6". The machine comes standard with a coolant system, a completely enclosed splashguard, a hydraulic system and a Fanuc control.
Tong-Tai Seiki is a full line machine tool builder providing Standard Machines, Customized Machines and Special Purpose Machines in the US, Far East and China. It has offices in Taiwan, Mainland China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and USA. In the US, its machines are sold and serviced through a network of full service distributors throughout the country.
Tong-Tai started as a builder of machining lines for motorcycles in 1969. The principal products at this time were automatic turning machines and multi-spindle drilling and tapping machines. This basic background of building special purpose machines has been instrumental in providing the foundation of Tong-Tai being a machine tool builder rather than just an assembler of purchased components.
Tong-tai started building CNC turning centers in 1982 and advanced to horizontal and vertical machining centers in 1985. Knowledge to design and manufacture these machines was gained over 30 years of technical cooperation with various Japanese Machine Tool Builders. Since 1990 Tong-Tai had very close technical cooperation with Hitachi Seiki, one of the leading machine tool builders in Japan. Starting 1998, Tong-Tai was manufacturing and assembling machines for Hitachi Seiki, on an OEM basis, for export to USA, Japan and the world. Tong-Tai is also one of the few Taiwanese machine tool builders with ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 certification.
