Description: Polygon turning machines are offered by Trishul Machine Tools. TPT-1S is a standard model with servo motor driven longitudinal slide and mechanical gearbox with fixed spindle speed ratio of 1:2. Spindle speeds variable through variable frequency drive. This is suitable for even numbered polygons at the end of the component. TPT-2S is an advanced model with servo motors for the longitudinal and cross slides, mechanical gear box with fixed spindle speed ratio of 1:2, spindle speeds variable through variable frequency drive. With data input through MMI on, operating panel, this is suitable for even numbered polygons, can generate chamfers, tapers, radius at the ends and in the middle of the component. TPT 4S is a versatile model with servo motors for the longitudinal and cross slides, spindles with electronic gearbox. With data input through MMI on operating panel, this is suitable for polygons, ratchets, slots and splines, can generate chamfers, tapers, radius at the ends and in the middle of the component with no limitation on the numbers of sides of the polygons. Polygon turning process has the shortest cutting time compared to conventional machining. The process is well suited for mass production and batch production; the process uses standard inexpensive turning inserts instead of milling cutters for machining polygons. Polygons machined are concentric to the job axis since the job also rotates along with tools; a variety of polygons and face teeth can be machined; simple and fast change over of setting to another polygon; has the lowest cost per piece compared to any other operation. Polygon turning is a unique generation process like gear bobbing. The desired polygonal surfaces are generated using inexpensive single point turning tools.
