The TRAUB TNL32 compact fits into an even smaller footprint than the TNL20 and boasts performance data that nearly match those of the TNL32.

Designed for productive sliding and fixed headstock turning of medium and highly complex workpieces, it has two identical work spindles (8,000rpm max., 9.9kW, and 19N∙m at 100% DC) and two tool turrets (each with 8 stations, 12,000rpm max., 1.5kW at 100% DC), each with X-, Y-, and Z-axis. Maximum bar clearance is 32mm in diameter with maximum turning length of 220mm. The concept of the TNL32 compact machine is strictly tailored to the daily needs of the machine’s kinematics, allowing for effective and simultaneous machining with two, three, or four tools.

Configurable

The TRAUB sliding/fixed headstock automatic lathe can be configured in the following three variants: TNL32-9 compact, TNL32-9B compact, and TNL32-11 compact. While the TNL32-9 compact features 9 linear axes, 2 turrets (each with 8 stations, 12,000rpm max., 2.0kW), a back working attachment with four stations and an autonomous counter spindle, the upper tool turret on the TNL32-9B compact is equipped with an additional B-axis.

The TNL32-11 compact variant includes an additional front-end machining unit with autonomous compound slide in Z- and X-axes as well as an NC swivel axis, for a total of 11 linear axes. This additional upper tool carrier has 6 tooling locations, 3 of which are live and 1 that can be equipped with a double holder.

A rear end machining unit with 4 tooling locations mounted on the lower turret is available as an option for all versions.
