Hillary Machinery supplies Tacchi Giacomo heavy-duty CNC lathes and turning centers for machining large, long and heavy components. Tacchi machines are designed for applications requiring substantial workpiece capacity, rigid construction and application-specific configurations for demanding industrial machining.
Tacchi Giacomo e Figli manufactures heavy-duty flat-bed CNC lathes, multitasking turning systems and deep-hole drilling equipment for medium and large components. Machine configurations can support turning as well as additional operations such as boring, milling and grinding.
Tacchi flat-bed CNC lathes are built for workpieces whose diameter, length or weight exceeds the practical range of conventional production turning centers. Machine selection should consider maximum turning diameter, distance between centers, workpiece weight, spindle torque and the support required throughout the machining process.

Tacchi machines can be configured with additional machining units for operations such as boring, milling and grinding. Combining these processes on one machine can reduce part handling, realignment and secondary setups when machining large or difficult-to-move workpieces.
Tacchi equipment is suited to industries such as power generation, oil and gas, aerospace, shipbuilding, steel production, paper manufacturing and hydraulic-cylinder production, where large shafts, rotors, cylinders and other substantial components require specialized turning capacity.
Hillary Machinery helps manufacturers evaluate workpiece dimensions, weight, material, workholding, support requirements, tooling, machining operations and installation needs to determine the appropriate Tacchi configuration. Our team also provides applications assistance, installation, service and parts support.
The workholding arrangement is a critical part of any heavy-duty turning application. Chucking, tailstock support and steady-rest locations must support the component throughout the complete machining sequence.
For long or slender workpieces, support locations should be evaluated alongside cutting forces, tolerances and tool access. The process plan should account for how support positions may need to change as the component is machined.
A representative part drawing and the most demanding planned workpiece are the best starting points for configuring a Tacchi machine. Important considerations include:
Large-machine projects require planning beyond the machine footprint. Installation should account for loading routes, lifting equipment, operator access, chip removal, maintenance clearance and any machine-specific foundation requirements.
Material handling should also be reviewed before machine selection. Consider how large workpieces will enter the work area, move into position and be removed after machining, along with access for inspection and measurement.
Tacchi Giacomo manufactures heavy-duty CNC lathes, multitasking turning machines and deep-hole drilling equipment for medium and large workpieces.
Tacchi machines are intended for large, long or heavy components such as shafts, rotors, hydraulic cylinders, energy components and other industrial workpieces that require substantial turning capacity.
Yes. Depending on configuration, Tacchi machines can incorporate additional machining units for boring, milling, grinding and other operations in addition to turning.
Steady rests provide additional support for long or slender components and help control workpiece movement and deflection during machining.
Provide the part drawing, maximum workpiece diameter and length, weight, material, required machining operations, tolerances and production requirements. Workholding and support requirements can then be evaluated around the complete process.
Send Hillary Machinery your part drawings, maximum workpiece dimensions and weight, material specifications and required operations so our team can help evaluate the appropriate Tacchi machine configuration.
