The new TNL20 has two identical work spindles and two tool turrets, each with X-, Z-, and Y-axes. And in addition, it can be equipped with a front and back working attachment. So this sliding and fixed headstock automatic lathe combines the productivity of a very high-performance automatic turning machine with the ability to produce even the most demanding workpieces accurately and economically. The work area, unique in its class, of this automatic turning machine assures with its compact foot print a very high power density for economic production. In addition, the vertical work area concept provides optimum process reliability combined with minimal setup effort.

The machine design
• Bar capacity up to ø 20 mm
• Up to three tool carriers and one back working attachment, each with Y-axis
• Simultaneous machining with two, three or four tools
• High tool pool for setup-friendly production
• Short tool changing times by means of CNC indexing axis in the tool turrets and in the front working attachment
• Very fast and energyefficient dog clamping on the main spindle and counter spindle
• Generous and processreliable work area
• Hydraulic-free machine: No heat input caused by a hydraulic system – energy saving inclusive

TNL20-9 / TNL20-9B – simultaneous and precise manufacturing with up to three tools
The machine’s crucial productivity advantage is the result of its extraordinarily high dynamics. The newly developed machine bed from gray cast iron forms the basis for utmost vibration dampening properties. And the high rigidity and thermal stability ensure optimum workpiece quality. The machine concept of the TNL20 has been systematically matched to the daily requirements of the user. So the kinematics of the machine allows effective and simultaneous machining with two or three tools. The generous and vertically arranged work area provides for the necessary degrees of freedom, as well as for very high process reliability.
