Description
The echoENG TCN 500 CNC lathe is designed for CNC turning operations and combines stepless spindle speed control with a choice of machining lengths. Its 500 mm swing over bed and 250 mm swing over cross slide accommodate components of various sizes, while versions with 1000, 1500 or 2000 mm between centers are available.
The machine features a 250 mm manual chuck, an 82 mm spindle bore, optionally available with a 130 mm bore, and an MT6 spindle taper. The listed spindle speed range is 150–1800 rpm. The catalogue also gives a range of 150–800 rpm in brackets, without specifying the corresponding configuration. Main motor power is listed as 7.5/11 kW.
The chromium-molybdenum steel headstock gears and spindle support on three precision bearings contribute to stability during cutting. The four-station electric tool turret accommodates tools with a 25 × 25 mm shank, with optional six- or eight-station turrets available.
The X axis offers 280 mm travel, while Z-axis travel is 1000, 1500 or 2000 mm, depending on the version. Rapid traverse speeds of 6 m/min on the X axis and 8 m/min on the Z axis enable fast movement during the machining cycle.
The tailstock is equipped with a 75 mm diameter quill, 150 mm travel and an MT5 taper, supporting components during machining. Catalogue options also include a C axis and driven tooling to extend the machine’s range of applications.
