Before an Authorized Field Service Technician can perform the machine’s final checkout, the following requirements must
be met:
•The machine must be in position and placed on its rest
pads.
•Please make sure to use a large enough forklift when
lifting the TMC machine. Lift the machine when on the
pallet from the column side of the machine. When
removing the machine from the pallet, please note that
the center of gravity (CG) of the machine is ~79” from
the edge of the enclosure sheet metal. See figure 4.
•The TMC must be lifted from either the left- or right-
hand sides. Make certain that the forks are squarely in
the lifting cutouts beneath the machine. See the figures
below.
•The TMC may be lifted via a crane with 4 points shown
in figure 7 and 8.
•Once the machine is raised from the pallet, thread the
adjusting screws into the bed casting. Thread the leveling
screws down approximately 1.25” as measured from the
bottom of the leveling bolt to the bottom of the casting. The
TMC should be placed on the 4 leveling pads labeled L1, R1,
L4 and R4. The remaining leveling screws should be
threaded in but not touching the pad. They will be adjusted
during installation.
•The machine must be wired (refer to the installation and
service manual for additional information). Make sure to
follow our grounding recommendations.
•The machine must have air hooked up. We strongly
recommend that a water separator or air dryer be installed
upstream of the TMC air supply.
Space & Weight
•Floor area (W x L) = 224.25” x 156.5”
•Height = 105” (min) / 120.5” (max)
•Footprint (W x L) (coolant tank in place) = 157.5”x 145”
•Net (approx.) Weight = 16,500 lbs.
•Shipping (approx.) Weight = 17,000 lbs.
•Pallet Size = 91” x 163”
•The floor area encompasses the space required to
position the chip container and have the electrical cabinet
and side doors open.
•A solid and level foundation to maintain approximately
16,500 lbs. plus the weight of the workpiece (maximum
total of ~ 19,140 lbs.) is required. Ten leveling screws
are provided.
•Minimum doorway width is ~86.50” and minimum height
is 93” that the TMC can fit through (assumes Z motor
and sheet metal on top of column are removed). The
86.50” dimension assumes you remove the pendant
assembly, EHW option and heat exchanger on electrical
cabinet.*
*Additional charges may apply.
Electrical
•With a 8k spindle a separate 208 VAC (200 to 240 V is
acceptable), 93 amps, 60 Hz, 3 phase circuit is required.
Note –Current can be as high as 112 amps with all options
ordered –CTS (+14A), 4th axis (+5A)
•With a 12k spindle a separate 208 VAC (200 to 240 V is
acceptable), 96 amps, 60 Hz, 3 phase circuit is required.
Note –Current can be as high as 115 amps with all options
ordered –CTS (+14A), 4th axis (+5A)
•With a 8k spindle a separate 480 VAC (432 to 528 V is
acceptable), 48 amps, 60 Hz, 3 phase circuit is required.
Note –Current can be as high as 57 amps with all options
ordered –CTS (+6A), 4th axis (+3A)
•With a 12k spindle a separate 480 VAC (432 to 528 V is
acceptable), 49 amps, 60 Hz, 3 phase circuit is required.
Note –Current can be as high as 58 amps with all options
ordered –CTS (+6A), 4th axis (+3A)
•For 480 Volt machines, the spindle motor is run at 480 volts
and the axis motors run at 220 volts. A step-down
transformer is provided with the machine when an order is
placed for 480 volts.
•Machine tool should be earth grounded with a dedicated 8-
foot long copper rod. A 2 or 6-gage ground wire (depending
on voltage) should run from the copper rod to grounding
location in the electrical cabinet. See figures 9 and 10.

•½” ID minimum air connection is required.
•Air pressure must be a minimum of 90 psi.
•Air –3.0 CFM (at 90 psi), 25 SCFM

If you would like to lift the machine with a crane, the following figures show the lifting points. Note –Brackets that
attach to the column and shown in figure 8 are not provided with the machine.

Both brackets mount with (4) M12 bolts using a 50mm X 50mm bolt pattern.

Electrical Connections
Main Power to the Machine Connections
The 3 phase 208 or 480 voltage is connected to L1, L2 and L3 at the main power switch inside the electrical box.
Connect the ground wire as shown in the figure 9.
Figure 9 –Power Input and Connect the Ground Wires
Machine Grounding
It is strongly recommended that the machine be earth grounded. A dedicated copper rod 8 feet or so in length
should be driven into the ground near the TMC. A ground wire should then be run from the location shown in figure
9. The copper wire should exit the electrical cabinet in the lower right-hand corner as shown in figure 10. Make sure
the foam where the copper wire goes through seals the cabinet from external debris. The wire gage should be 2
gage for 208 volt machines and 6 gage for 480 volt machines.
