Haas TL-1 toolroom lathe completely redesigned

The TL-1 toolroom lathe from Haas Automation has undergone a complete redesign to include a newly developed enclosure along with features that offer higher overall performance.

For instance, the TL-1, which has a maximum capacity of 406 by 762 mm and a swing over the front apron of 508 mm, now has an A2-6 spindle nose that accepts either an 8" or 10" optional 3-jaw manual chuck. The machine also features a 3" bore.

The updated TL spindle is powered by a 12 hp vector drive system and spins to 2,000 rpm, with an option for 3,000 rpm. Rapids have been increased to 11.4 m/min on both the X and Z axes, while an optional manual tailstock is available for additional part support. To better contain swarf and coolant and protect the operator, a full metal enclosure is now standard.
