New Product Release: TCK52 Slant-Bed CNC Lathe with Robotic Arm

Smart automation. Stable structure. Precision manufacturing.

WMT CNC proudly introduces the new slant-bed CNC lathe with robotic arm — the TCK52 — a high-speed solution designed for precision manufacturing and smart automation in demanding industrial environments.

Main Features

• High-speed Taiwan Jianchun spindle: low-noise, high-performance at up to 4,200 rpm.
• Z-axis coupled tailstock: improved stability and rigidity for long workpieces.
• Dual spindle encoders for accurate measurement of speed and position, ensuring consistent precision.
• Hydraulic chuck and rotary cylinder from Ruiyan (Korea) or Jiahe (Taiwan), tested for dynamic balance.
• Optional short-bar feeding eliminates the need for an auto feeder and supports puller/cylinder-based loading.
• Robot ready: supports 4- or 6-axis robots. Product drawings and grippers required for customisation.

Robotic Arm Automation

The optional robotic arm increases productivity by automating the loading and unloading of parts. Integrating this feature reduces manual handling errors, enhances efficiency and enables unmanned operations for long production runs.

Robot selection depends on:

• Product size and weight
• Axis requirement (4 or 6)
• Required grippers/fixtures

Typical Application Scenarios of Slant-Bed CNC Lathe with Robot Arm

The TCK52 slant-bed CNC lathe with robotic arm is purpose-built for manufacturers seeking a high-performance, automated turning solution. Ideal applications include:

• Aerospace workshops producing aluminium or alloy bushings with tight tolerances.
• Oil and gas plants machining pipe connectors, valve parts or custom flanges.
• Shipbuilding yards turning stainless steel shaft parts or disc hubs weighing up to 500 kg.
• Machinery OEMs requiring high-efficiency turning of mild steel or cast iron.
• Metalworking job shops offering small-batch customisation with automated handling.
