Haas TL-2

What the maker publishes about the current Haas TL-2

With 48.00 in of Z travel, the TL-2 is a toolroom lathe from the Haas TL Series, and its maximum distance between centers is likewise 48.0 in. From the tool post it turns lengths up to 48.0 in. Cross travel on X is 8.00 in. At the front apron the swing clears 20.0 in, and at the cross slide 11.0 in. Diameters to 16.0 in come off the tool post, or 8.0 in when a 4-station turret holds the tools. Each axis traverses at 450 ipm. The belt-driven spindle ends in an A2-5 nose and turns up to 1800 rpm. It is rated at 10.0 hp and develops 108.0 ft-lbf at 355 rpm. Its bore diameter is 2.30 in. Haas lists an 8.0 in chuck as an option. It includes a conversational programming system that needs no G-code knowledge. Haas rates the lathe for single-phase and three-phase supply.

• Axes and way covers. The manufacturer gives X 203 mm (8.00 in) and Z 1219 mm (48.00 in) of travel. Run each axis end to end and check the way covers.
• Rapids and ballscrews. The manufacturer gives a rapid traverse of 11.4 m/min (450 ipm). Measure the backlash on each axis.
• Chuck and bar. The manufacturer gives a chuck size of 203 mm (8.0 in) (optional). Check the jaws and the grip pressure.
• Bed and ways. The manufacturer gives a max turning diameter of 406 mm (16.0 in) (with tool post) or 203.0 mm (8.0 in) (with 4-station turret) and a max turning length of 1,219 mm (48.0 in) (with tool post) or 42.0 mm (1.65 in) (with 8-station turret). Check the ways for wear near the chuck.
