Introducing the Victor Taichung NP26 horizontal turning lathe, the most advanced addition to the renowned NP series. Known for its compact design and exceptional performance, the NP26 takes productivity further by offering an increased bar capacity, larger swing, and upgraded chuck size—all while maintaining the space-saving footprint the series is known for. With a swing over bed of 740mm, a distance between centres of 640mm, and an increased bar capacity of 75mm (optional upgrade to 77mm), the NP26 delivers big performance in a small package. The 87mm spindle bore further enhances its capability to handle larger components.

Compared to the NP16 and NP20, the NP26 stands out with a range of upgraded features. It is the only model in the series to offer a programmable tailstock, providing greater precision and automation for complex turning tasks. The Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control system with a 10.4” screen comes standard, but an optional 15’ screen is available exclusively for the NP26, enhancing user visibility and programming convenience. The compact footprint of just 2 877mm x 2 282mm x 1 990mm ensures it fits seamlessly into any production environment while delivering the power and precision of a larger lathe.

The NP26 comes fully equipped with essential standard accessories, including a hydraulic chuck with soft jaws, rear-disposal chip conveyor, fully enclosed splash guarding, standard tool holders, coolant flush on the Z-axis cover, and a 3-step warning light. The addition of a programmable tailstock further enhances the machine’s versatility, making it perfect for high-precision, high-efficiency machining.
