2022 Takisawa TCC-2100 L3 CNC Turning Center

The Takisawa TCC-2100 L3 is a compact 8-inch-chuck CNC turning center with a reputation for rigid, dependable performance that has made Takisawa lathes a staple in precision job shops and production environments. This 2022 example is built around a 4,100 RPM spindle with an A2-6 spindle nose and a 15 HP main spindle motor, an 8-inch Kitagawa B-208 hydraulic chuck with through-hole and programmable open/close, and a 12-station direct-mount turret for heavy-duty cutting. It runs a Fanuc 0i-TF CNC control and offers a max turning diameter of about 12.60 in (320 mm), a max turning length of about 11.46 in (291 mm), and a 2 in (51 mm) bar capacity, with a manual M-function tailstock for shaft and center work plus a swing-arm tool setter for fast, accurate tool offsets.

Compared with Takisawa earlier-generation compact 8-inch chuck lathes, the TCC-2100 L3 is a meaningful step forward rather than just a newer label. Takisawa increased the rapid traverse rates over its former machines to cut cycle times, used highly rigid and highly accurate rectangular box slideways on all axes, and minimized thermal distortion for steadier accuracy across long runs, all paired with the current Fanuc 0i-TF control in place of the older Fanuc 0i and 0T controls found on prior-generation machines. The result is a current-generation, well-kept turning center that gives a shop modern control, rigidity, and speed in a small footprint - more parts out the door, ready now instead of waiting on a new-machine build slot.
