45° Integral Bed Turning
Slant-Bed CNC Lathe TCK6340
The TCK6340 is the small-part specialist of the turning range. A 45° integral bed and Taiwan linear guides give it the rigidity of a bigger machine, the spindle centre sits close to the operator for fast loading, and the spindle unit itself is chosen to suit the work — a heavy-cutting unit for bearing and gear parts, or a high-speed unit for fine finishing.

The Platform
A 45° Bed Tuned for Small and Medium Parts
Everything on the TCK6340 serves one goal: turning small and medium parts quickly and accurately, cycle after cycle. The bed angle, the guideway type and the spindle position all point the same way.
45° Integral Bed
A single high-rigidity casting, angled so chips clear the cutting zone and the tool stays close to the work.
Taiwan Linear Guides
High-precision linear guideways under the saddle and turret give the whole machine its stiffness and repeatability.
Spindle Near the Operator
The spindle centre is placed close to the operator, so loading, unloading and gauging take less reach and less time.
Spindle Unit Selection
One Bed, Two Spindle Personalities
The same machine can be built for stock removal or for finishing. The choice is made at order against the part family you run, not changed on the shop floor.
| Item | Heavy-cutting spindle unit | High-speed spindle unit |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Bearing and gear type parts | High-speed finishing |
| Priority | Stock removal and rigidity | Surface finish and cycle time |
| Typical part | Rings, blanks and heavier round parts | Small precision shafts and fittings |
| Bed and guides | 45° integral bed with Taiwan linear guides | 45° integral bed with Taiwan linear guides |
| Speed control | Stepless, 50–3500 rpm | Stepless, 50–3500 rpm |
| Spindle motor | 5.5 kW | 5.5 kW |
Choose by Material Removal
If the first operation takes a heavy bite from a forging or blank, specify the heavy-cutting unit.
Choose by Finish
If the part is near net shape and the priority is finish and speed, specify the high-speed unit.
Same Envelope Either Way
The bed, guides, chuck and tooling envelope are unchanged, so the choice does not disturb the machine layout.

The datasheet publishes the second linear axis as Y rather than the Z used on most lathes; the axis convention is confirmed with the drawing at order. The same table also lists the wider TCK family, and the figures above are taken from the TCK6340 column only. Positioning and repeat positioning accuracy are verified by a geometric test on each machine before shipment rather than quoted as a single figure. GSK control is standard with Siemens, Fanuc and Mitsubishi options. A chip conveyor is optional.
Key Numbers
The TCK6340 at a Glance
Four figures that decide whether this machine fits the part.
400mmSwing over bed
3500rpmMax spindle speed
45mmBar capacity
24m/minRapid traverse
200 mm Machining Length
A compact working length matched to the small and medium parts the machine is designed to run.
Hydraulic Tailstock Standard
Shaft parts can be supported without manual quill adjustment, which keeps the cycle consistent.
30 mm Extra Bar Capacity
Reaching 45 mm means fewer parts have to be fed as blanks rather than bar, which simplifies the process.
Core Strengths
Rigidity Where Small Parts Need It
Four design points that keep the TCK6340 accurate on short cycles and thin tolerances.
High-Rigidity Integral Bed
A single 45° casting rather than a bolted assembly, so vibration is damped and finish stays stable.
High-Strength Cast Iron
The bed material and wall sections are chosen for damping, which shows up in surface finish on small diameters.
Automatic Central Lubrication
Lubrication is delivered centrally, so the screws and guides stay protected without a manual routine.
Taiwan Linear Guides
High-precision linear ways give the machine the stiffness to hold tolerance across a fast cycle.
Gang Tooling Standard
A gang tool post keeps tool-to-tool moves short on small parts, with an optional turret for more stations.
Flexible Control
GSK standard with Siemens, Fanuc and Mitsubishi options, so the machine fits the programming habits on site.
Operating Cycle
From Bar to Finished Fitting
Short travels and hydraulic workholding keep the cycle tight on small parts.
01
Feed and Clamp
Bar up to 45 mm is fed through the 56 mm bore and held in the hydraulic chuck, or a blank is loaded for disc work.
02
Set the Tools
Load the gang tool post with 20 by 20 mm and 25 mm shank tools and enter the offsets for the program.
03
Turn and Transfer
The stepless spindle runs the profile with threads, arcs and cones, at up to 24 m per minute between features.
04
Measure and Continue
Check the first part, then run the batch; the integral bed holds the setting across the run.
Where It Earns Its Place
Small Parts in Large Numbers
The industries below all turn small and medium round parts in volume, which is exactly the TCK6340 envelope.
Valves, Plumbing & Fittings
Fittings, stems and threaded bodies produced to repeatable threads and radii for assembly without hand fitting.
Electrical & Instrument Parts
Small precision parts turned at high spindle speed, where finish and dimensional consistency carry the assembly.
Automotive & Motorcycle Fittings
Bushings, pins and small housings turned in volume, with the heavy-cutting spindle unit handling rougher stock.
Bearing & Gear Blanks
Rings and blanks turned to tight runout, which is the part family the heavy-cutting spindle unit is matched to.
Hardware & Fasteners
Small threaded parts run from bar, with the gang tool post keeping tool changes short across the batch.
Precision Shafts
Small stepped shafts supported on the hydraulic tailstock and finished in a single program.

FAQ
TCK6340 Lathe Questions
The TCK6340 can be specified with one of two spindle units on the same 45-degree bed. The heavy-cutting unit is configured for bearing and gear type parts, where stock removal and rigidity matter most. The high-speed unit is configured for high-speed finishing, where surface finish and cycle time matter most. Tell us the part family and we match the spindle unit to it.
It suits small and medium shafts and disc parts, turning threads, arcs, cones and internal and external surfaces of rotation. With a 400 mm swing over the bed, a 400 mm disc turning diameter, a 200 mm machining length and 45 mm bar capacity, it covers the parts that fill valves, electrical, instrument, automotive, motorcycle and bearing production.
Moving the spindle centre towards the operator shortens the reach for loading and unloading, which matters on short cycle times where a second saved per part changes daily output. It also keeps the part and the tool in clear view, so gauging and adjustment are quicker.
It is fitted with a gang tool post as standard, taking 20 by 20 mm and 25 mm shank tools, and an electric or hydraulic turret can be specified as an option. A hydraulic tailstock is fitted as standard so shaft parts can be supported without manual quill adjustment.
GSK control is standard, with Siemens, Fanuc and Mitsubishi available as options. Control choice is matched to your operator skill level and the programs you already run, and every machine ships with an English interface and parameter set. Chucks can be domestic or Taiwan hydraulic units, or manual.
Standard builds ship in roughly 30 to 45 working days, with the spindle unit choice, turret option or control adding to that. Every machine is assembled, aligned and trial cut before packing, and we provide English manuals, a parameter file, video commissioning and remote operator training, with lifetime support after delivery.
