DEEP DIVE: TAKUMI 5 AXIS MACHINING CENTERS.

3/25/2021

Going the distance on their 5 Axis machining centers, Takumi, USA put thought, and high quality components into these amazing 5 Axis machines. Not all machine tools are built the same. We say that all the time because it is true. With over 30+ years of rebuilding, repairing and upgrading both CNC and manual machines, Mike Rossi has the expertise that makes him uniquely qualified to walk you through your machine purchases. What else makes us different? Well, we are going to be your installation, trainer and support and service- long after the sale! You will continue to work with us. We will give you tips on preventative maintenance, support when you have a question and training when you get your new machine. All from the same people who sold you the machine! Rossi Machinery Services makes it our mission to be your partner in your success.

So what do we think about the 5 Axis U800 ?
Looking at the Takumi, USA 5 axis machine from a rebuilder's view, we like what we see.
Takumi did their homework on these powerful machine tools. They can perform with the best of the 5 Axis machine tools and at pricing we like! But there is more to like about Takumi's 5 Axis CNC Machines:
The U800 is a High speed gantry machining center over the high torque table

The table includes an 80 rpm twin torque motor on the A-axis and a 100 rpm single torque motor on the C-axis.
We love that it is designed with a one-piece casting. This absorbs the thrust forces of high rapids and fast cutting feeds! As we always point out it is the build from the bottom up that makes a great machine tool.
The trunnion table is fit with integral torque motors (instead of gear drives) - another great feature that provides a quicker response, higher torque, better positioning accuracy and lower maintenance requirements. We don't have to tell you that machine maintenance can sometimes be expensive. These features not only provide for a great machining experience, but lower maintenance requirements.
The roller type linear ways support faster feed rates, higher rigidity and smoother linear motion. This is something you will want for the applications that require a machine tool to perform at its best!
A high performance 20,000 rpm motorized spindle is standard on the U800 to satisfy a multitude of machining requirements.

FINALLY:
The U800 is equipped with the latest Heidenhain TNC 640 control that features optimized motion control, short block processing times and special control strategies.
Since we represent for both companies you have a win win with Rossi Machinery Services!

SUMMARY:
If you are looking to get into 5 Axis machining, or have an application that requires only the most rigidly built from the bottom up to the control, look no further. We recommend these great machines. Give us a call. Priced for your budget!

Rossi Machinery Services is Manufacturing's "One- Stop -Shop"

"The One-Stop-Shop" Full Product and Service Company.

Not many companies can boast of our reputation, expertise and honest solutions that cover both new products, machine tools and services.

Whether you need a service, a machine tool rebuild or you are looking to replace old equipment with a New CNC or manual machine, we can provide all of the above!

As we have noted before, legacy equipment parts started to fall out of stock and availability a few years ago. The day we scoured all of our many vendors to replace a legacy part, only to find out that there was only one in the USA and it was $2000.00 for this simple part, we knew that we needed to offer more solutions to our customers.

Do we still rebuild and repair? Absolutely. The best part of working with Rossi Machinery Services is we offer you options when you have an issue.
Do you repair the machine? Do you do a full rebuild or only a partial? What will the resulting performance be? Should you replace the machine with a fully warrantied one with more performance ability? What's that cost?
Part of what we do is to walk you through each of these scenarios. You choose.

Our mission is to help manufacturers, to save them money, and to provide them ways to compete efficiently. Every type of manufacturing facility is different. Our medical customers don't need what our defense customers want or our mold and die shop demand for their applications. That's part of why it is good to work with us. We know manufacturing, machine tools, and budgets.
Mike Rossi was trained in a German-style apprenticeship program, but he also was a maintenance supervisor for many years at a midsized manufacturing firm in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He has a well -rounded career that benefits you. Our staff is trained in the same German-style of excellence in rebuilding, and services. Likewise, our staff can sell our products, and service them. When you buy a Takumi from Rossi Machinery Services, you don't speak to a salesman, make the purchase and then need to work with service. No. Our technicians are trained with the full sales knowledge, but also bring the service knowledge to the sale. That person will be with you long after the sale. Hence we like to say that we are "Your Partner in Your Success!" Recently, we brought in two Takumi CNC machine tools to our facility for potential customers to view and see perform. We have found success by showing them the excellence of these machine tools. We are located right in the center of OHIO, between Cleveland and Columbus. Take a moment to view these machine tools, our services, our work and our Heidenhain, Acu-Rite, ACER Machine Tools and so much more on our website: www.rmscnc.com Want to talk products or services? Give us a call 866-622-4488 or sales@rmscnc.com

We sold the Takumi VC 1052. It is slightly larger than the VC 0852

Our technicians ensure that your products are in great working order.

We sell both ACER Machines and Acu-Rite products. We can help!

The Takumi H Series starts with a precision-machine casting. machine

Robust Precision-machined castings are rigid and can take the high speed applications of Aerospace and Mold and Die industries.

Takumi H Series is double column machining for aerospace and mold and die industries..

Takumi has a long and prestigious history. They are excellent for high speed, accuracy and fantastic finishes. They are used in aerospace and mold/ die industries.

Takumi hand scrapes all its contact surfaces.

When looking for an excellent well-built machine tool with pricing you will like, look no further than Takumi, USA division of HURCO.

Takumi H Series : Double Column Machining.

H 16 Double Column Machining

Our Background In Machine Tool Rebuilding:
Evaluating the H Series as not only the sales personnel but with our background in machine tool rebuilding, we provide you a unique view of these machines as only service personnel understand.
We like to think that we look at the important features, builds and performances from the inside out on machine tools. We have seen many over the last 25 years, and we know we have a great machine in Takumi, USA.

Here's why:
Robust Precision-machined Castings:
Starting from the bottom, we like that these machine bases are built with robust precision -machined castings, providing the rigid, and solid foundation needed for the applications that Aerospace and Mold / Die industries require.

The hand-scraped contact areas.
From our machine rebuilds, we know that hand-scraped contact areas is essential for a very well-built machine tool. With Takumi, they hand-scrape all the contact surfaces, providing you with a fit that only increases the machine's ability perform with accuracy and speed, but provides the machine's longevity you want. Not all machine tools are built this way. We have seen plenty that are not built this way.

Other Features that stand out:

The close proximity of the spindle to the bridge casting reduces overhang.
The ladder design of the bridge provides greater support for the head casting, again providing these machines with a solid build.
The swivel control panel allows for optimization of the floor space.
The extra wide door openings for better loading and unloading of parts.
The large windows for better visualization of your parts.
All these features add extra attention to the details which make the machining process on the H Series so much better.

Next: Takumi provides linear scales that ensure repeatability and accuracy.

They have the roller-type rails on all axes for added rigidity. The H Series also comes with an integrated chip wash down and chip management system.

Double-coupled ballscrews increase the accuracy of the machine.
The absolute encoders ensure a fast start- up.
They have inline high speed spindles.
BIG PLUS® spindles increase rigidity and reduce tool deflection.
FANUC® 31iBM Series Control
