TLM Series
Table-top NC Machining Center for Light Metal Machining
Our newly developed high-speed spindle (MAX 12,000 min⁻¹) and oil mist system
enable precision aluminum machining in a Table-top footprint.
TLM Series Development Background
Achieving light metal machining based on years of resin machining technology
Extensive Track Record in Resin and Wood Machining
The “Takumi-kun” has been adopted by numerous customers, primarily in educational institutions and research laboratories.
We have accumulated extensive know-how in resin and wood machining.
Evolution to Light Metal Machining
In response to customer requests for aluminum machining, we developed a high-speed spindle and oil mist system.
By incorporating these developments into the TLM Series, we achieved light metal machining capability.
- High-speed spindle MAX 12,000 min⁻¹
- Oil mist compatible
- Professional metal machining in Table-top size
Demonstrated at MECT 2025
Demonstrated aluminum machining at “MECT 2025”, Japan’s largest machine tool exhibition.
Received significant interest from metal machining professionals.
