Can One Machine Really Do It All? The Power of TMT400 5-Axis Turn-Mill Center

As the demand for complex components continues to rise in modern precision manufacturing, conventional segmented machining processes are becoming increasingly inadequate. For multi-face machining, simultaneous 5-axis milling, and heavy-duty turning, the market is turning to smarter, more integrated equipment.

Takam's TMT400 Turn-Mill 5-Axis Machining Center is engineered to meet these evolving needs. By integrating turning, milling, and multi-axis functions into a single setup, the TMT400 offers true "One-Setup, Full-Process" machining — significantly improving productivity and process stability.

⚙️Key Features of TMT400

The TMT400 supports a maximum machining diameter of Ø400 mm, with axis travels of 700 mm (X), 400 mm (Y), and dual Z axes each at 550 mm. The B-axis swings from -95° to +20°, allowing for inclined face and angled hole machining, while the C-axis rotates a full 360° with both indexing and simultaneous movement capabilities.

The turning spindle features an A2-6 interface with 17 kW power, 240 Nm of torque, and a top speed of 2000 rpm — ideal for medium-to-heavy-duty turning. On the milling side, the BT40 spindle delivers 11 kW and up to 10,000 rpm, suitable for high-speed precision cutting and fine surface finishes.

For tooling, the machine includes a 24-tool disc-type ATC for milling and an 8-station servo turret for turning. Tool change times are quick — 1.9 seconds for milling, and 1 second for turning — ensuring smooth operation. The TMT400 supports drilling up to Ø32 mm and tapping up to M16, with a maximum spindle load of 300 kg.

Positioning accuracy on linear axes is ±0.006 mm/300 mm, with repeatability controlled within ±0.003 mm. B and C axes are supported by high-precision encoders, delivering excellent angular positioning and repeatability — essential for consistent, high-quality results.

The TMT400 is also equipped with front chip conveyor and rear coolant flushing, spindle oil cooler, auto lubrication, and an air-conditioned electrical cabinet — all of which support long-term operation and thermal stability, making it suitable for lights-out or automated production.

⚙️ Design Philosophy: Integration in One Machine

The TMT400 is built on an HT300 cast iron base, paired with high-rigidity roller guideways and precision ball screws from Hiwin Taiwan. Its precision cam swing head provides flexible B-axis tilt milling, while dual Z-axis construction supports synchronized tool motion — ideal for reducing cycle times. With a high-precision 360° C-axis, the machine also supports back-side operations and multi-face integration.

⚙️ Versatile Across Industries

The TMT400 is especially effective in industries where multi-surface, tight-tolerance, or low-batch/high-mix parts are required:

Aerospace: turbine blades, structural brackets, and housings — requiring 5-axis simultaneous motion and consistent tolerances.
Medical: titanium bone plates, implants, surgical tools — where surface finish and detail control are critical.
Automotive: shafts, housings, and driveline components — often with complex geometries and short lead times.

⚙️ Conclusion: The Future of Machining Starts Here

The TMT400 is more than a machining center — it’s a comprehensive strategy for process integration. By enabling full-process completion in a single setup, the TMT400 minimizes handling, reduces cycle time, and improves part consistency. With automation-ready design and excellent thermal stability, it paves the way for smart manufacturing.

If your factory is looking to improve efficiency, precision, and workflow integration, the TMT400 is a solution worth considering.
