2. MARKINGS AND GRAPHICS

Never touch the machine with hands and tools during production or maintenance and cleaning operations, without making sure that the machine is in STOP position, the master switch is off and/or the multipolar plug disconnected.

TAYLOR COMPANY declines any liability for accidents deriving from an improper use of the machine due to the non-compliance with the above-mentioned recommendations.

The machine is provided with a plate and some pictograms, which together with the present manual allow using the machine in safer conditions.

Machine data plate

The adhesive label located on the back of the machine allows identifying the model and reports the following indications:

Manufacturer’s name and address; Machine model and version; Serial number; Rated electrical characteristics; Type and weight of employed Freon; Manufacturing year.

Indication

Points of application of lifting devices.

The following plate is placed on the four sides of the frame lower part and shows the points where lifting hooks shall be positioned in order to perform this operation in safe conditions. By means of a cross screw-driver unscrew the two side panels and then position the lifting devices into the apposite points. Make sure that they cannot accidentally come out during lifting operations.

Warning!

Maintenance allowed to qualified personnel only. The following plate placed on the machine back panel forbids extraordinary maintenance operations and/or repairs delegating them to authorized people only, whose address is indicated in the provided space.

C118, C117, C116 specifications

The Taylor C116, C117, and C118 models represent a series of high-performance vertical machining centers designed for precision engineering and heavy-duty manufacturing applications. These machines are part of Taylor’s commitment to providing advanced solutions for industries ranging from aerospace to automotive.

The C116 model is known for its compact design, making it suitable for shop floors with limited space. Equipped with a high-speed spindle that reaches up to 15,000 RPM, the C116 ensures quick material removal and superior surface finishes. Its robust construction utilizes a cast-iron frame, which minimizes vibrations during machining, ensuring consistent precision across long production runs. The machine features a 24-tool automatic carousel, allowing for rapid tool changes and versatility in operations.

Moving to the C117, this model introduces enhanced capabilities with a larger work envelope, accommodating larger parts and heavier workpieces. It is equipped with an advanced Fanuc control system that provides user-friendly programming and real-time monitoring of machining processes. The C117 also offers dual-axis linear motors in the X and Y axes, which significantly increase acceleration and deceleration speeds, enhancing overall productivity. The intelligent thermal compensation system ensures stability and accuracy, effectively managing heat generated during operation.

Lastly, the C118 model takes a step further with its dual spindle configuration, allowing for simultaneous machining of two components. This innovative design boosts productivity, especially in high-volume production environments. The C118 features advanced automation options, including robotic loading systems, which streamline workflow and reduce labor costs. The machine’s rigid tapping capability and high torque at low RPMs make it ideal for tapping operations in tough materials, further expanding its versatility.

Overall, the Taylor C116, C117, and C118 machining centers combine cutting-edge technology with robust design characteristics, catering to a wide array of manufacturing needs. Their features not only improve efficiency and precision but also provide users with the confidence that they can tackle complex machining tasks with reliability. As industries continue to evolve, these models stand as testament to Taylor's dedication to innovation and quality in the machining sector.
