TBAS has two CNC lathes. One Daewoo CT250 with 75mm through spindle, with a CNC bar feeder for repetitive production of parts and a larger Doosan Puma 280LN with 320mm chuck capable of 520mm swing capacity and live tooling on the turret, enabling one off or multiple production. As well as multiple items, TBAS trades people are able to program one off jobs on the CNC machines fast and accurately for quick turnaround.
The 17 Tonne horizontal borer gives TBAS a large boring, turning capability. With a table capacity of 5 Tonnes, the machine can be used to turn big items or bore to a length of up to 2.7 metres between centres. With the tail stock removed, the reach becomes greater again. The 1300X1500 table can travel 1200mm across the bed with a 100mm quill utilizing a travel height of 1200mm, providing large turning and facing capacity.
