The Traub TNM 42 multislide CNC automatic screw machine offers faster cycle times, accuracy, flexibility and short set-up leads because it combines the best capabilities of both cam automatics and CNC lathes.

Because it is a full, CNC fixed-headstock automatic screw machine, the Traub TNM 42 is said to be the ideal solution for medium to large lot sizes.

A 1 5/8[inches] bar machine, the TNM 42 has been designed to replace conventional cam-operated automatic screw machines. It is a compact unit designed to integrated easily into existing operations. Cycle times are not sacrificed, simultaneous machining operation can be programmed and existing screw machine tooling can be used. Production output is increased, and changeover time is reduced significantly.

The TNM 42 is equipped with a two-axis CNC, eight-tool turret, and four cross slides and an integrated magazine barfeed, both of which are CNC-based. Cross slides have the rigidity to handle forming work. The main drive features a heavy-duty 14 3/4-hp AC motor, which delivers up to 4000 rpm. Water soluble coolant can be utilized on this machine. A large volume of coolant (26.4 gpm) is supplied to the workpiece via directional nozzles.

The machine is delivered complete with chip conveyor, parts catcher and parts conveyor. Its control panel features a Traub TX 8F 32-bit CNC with a 14[inches] color monitor for easy programming and fast command response.

Two significant options are a back end working attachment for drilling and tapping and a polygon turning or thread milling attachment.
