AI Description

Capabilities

The Traub TK 42 is a precision bar lathe designed for high-volume production of smaller metal components. With a 42mm spindle bore and maximum workpiece diameter of 115mm, it handles bar stock up to 5.2 meters long, making it ideal for manufacturing shafts, pins, bushings, and similar turned parts. Running at 3150rpm with 9kW of power, this machine delivers consistent accuracy and throughput typical of Swiss-style automatics.

Industries & Uses

Manufacturers in automotive, hydraulics, pneumatics, and general engineering rely on bar lathes for cost-effective batch production. The included Stamag D 5000 bar feeder automates material loading, reducing operator intervention and boosting productivity—essential for job shops and contract manufacturers scaling production without proportional labor increases. This makes it valuable for businesses producing medical instruments, fasteners, valve components, or electrical connectors.

What to Check When Buying

When inspecting a used bar lathe, examine spindle runout and bearing play carefully—these affect dimensional accuracy. Ask for complete maintenance records, particularly spindle overhauls and feed mechanism service. Check the bar feeder's mechanical condition and whether collets and feed components are included and functional. Inspect the guide bushing for wear, as replacement is common. Verify electrical systems and safety features work properly. A machine in consistent production with regular maintenance typically offers better reliability than a long idle unit.
