 The TC-203, ideal for machining
small precision parts, has been
completely renewed and released
as the TC-20A. This eagerly
awaited release includes new NC
features, providing higher cost
performance and machining
accuracy.

Features
●Spindle speed
 25,000 / 30,000 min-1
●Spindile acc./dec. reduced
 by more than 50%
●Rapid feedrate
 45 m/min (Z-axis)
 40 m/min (XY-axes)
●Magazine indexing
 time reduced by 40%
●Rigidity 1.5 times
 higher than previous
 models

Higher cost performance Higher machining accuracy

Higher speed and higher rigidity produce a 15% Higher quality machining is achieved with a rigid
reduction in time for machining 2.5-inch HDD column, higher performance feed motor, and new NC
bases. This performance is available at a that optimizes machine performance.

in zero time loss even for
frequent tool changes.
