TFS 1260

“Pure efficiency” and major innovations are not mutually exclusive at HOFMANN!
Externally hardly distinguishable from the proven 1245, the strengths lie in the inner workings of the machine: a swivel range from -47° to +47°, direct drive, HSK-F63 quick-change interface including tool assembly station, stepless speed control, touchscreen control and the practical table slide make this machine an absolute powerhouse – and all of this is already included in the basic equipment! The best part: without having to forego our quality feature of 100% “Made in Germany”, your wallet will also be spared – you will be amazed!

Details

Integrated front-mounted tool compartment with storage space for accessories, table inserts and tools.

The practical tool mounting station is mounted directly on the milling table and is ideally designed for quick, easy and above all safe tool changes on the respective arbor. Illustration shows demo tool.

12.1” touchscreen included as standard, CNC control system with integrated tool management, featuring a logical and clearly structured interface with text-supported icons, dialog and message field for intuitive operation, uniform screen layouts and a continuous menu bar at the bottom of the display, enabling seamless switching between screens without intermediate steps.

The HOFMANN “Centrex” milling guard is quick and easy to adjust and can be pivoted backwards within seconds – without getting in the way.

7.5 kW spindle motor with high smoothness of operation and increased torque compared to belt drives, equipped with stepless speed control and an HSK-F63 interface. Suitable for CNC tools approved for manual feed applications. Optimized for minimal setup times and high economic efficiency.

Visually similar to the proven 1245, the TFS 1260 reveals its true power inside: –47° to +47° swivel range, direct drive, HSK-F63 interface, touchscreen control, stepless speed control and integrated sliding table make it a true performance machine.

The wide swivel range from –47° to +47° is particularly attractive for plastics processing, while also offering clear benefits for woodworking applications.
