What This Machine Does
The TX611B is a horizontal boring and milling machine for large and box-type components, built on a traditional boring machine layout with a 110 mm spindle. It handles rough and finish boring, milling, drilling and reaming, and it is aimed at the kind of work where a hole system has to be bored in line through a housing rather than one hole at a time. The bed and main shaft run on rectangular guide rails and the upper slide seat uses a double dovetail rail, a combination chosen for stability under interrupted cuts rather than for speed. Coordinate positions are read from a grating ruler and shown on a digital display, so the operator sets hole centres from the display instead of counting handwheel turns, which is what makes multi-hole work on one setup practical. The spindle system is built for rigidity, the structure is compact for a machine of this class, and the machine is straightforward to operate and maintain. It suits repair shops and job shops boring pin bores and bearing housings in heavy fabrications and castings.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- 110 mm boring spindle with a rigid spindle system for rough and finish boring in one machine
- Grating ruler and digital display give accurate intuitive coordinate reading for hole system work
- Rectangular guide rails on bed and main shaft plus a double dovetail upper slide keep the machine stable in cut
- Boring milling drilling and reaming on one setup so box components are not moved between machines
- Compact structure for a boring machine of this capacity
- Straightforward to operate and maintain with a long service life
- Suits large and box-type components that will not fit a vertical machining centre table
Where Horizontal Boring Machine TX611B Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Large box components cannot be lifted onto a machining centre table but still need accurate bores
- Boring each hole of a hole system in a separate setup loses the alignment between them
- Handwheel dial counting on a conventional machine is slow and easy to lose track of
- Subcontracting large boring work out means the part leaves the shop and the schedule slips
- Moving a heavy part between a mill and a borer costs crane time and introduces setup error
- Light machines chatter when boring interrupted bores in heavy castings
Who It Is For
- Machine repair and rebuild shops working on heavy equipment housings
- Fabrication shops that machine their own welded box components
- General job shops taking in large-component boring work
- Maintenance departments in mining cement and steel plants
- Distributors supplying conventional boring machines to export markets
Application Scenarios
- Boring bearing housings and pin bores in heavy welded fabrications
- Line boring a hole system through both walls of a gearbox or pump housing
- Remachining worn pin and bush bores on construction and mining equipment
- Milling mounting faces on large castings before boring the bores in them
- Drilling and reaming bolt patterns on box-type components in the same setup
- Job-shop boring work on parts too large for a standard machining centre

- Supply voltage phase and frequency set for your market
- Manual and machine plates prepared in your operating language
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Line boring with a portable boring bar | A portable bar works in situ but relies on setup alignment each time; on the TX611B the hole system is positioned from the grating ruler on a rigid bed |
|---|---|
| Boring on a vertical machining centre | A machining centre is faster on small parts, but large box-type components often do not fit the table or the Z clearance; the horizontal layout takes them |
| A conventional boring machine without digital readout | Without a grating ruler and display, every coordinate is counted on the dials, which is slower and where most hole-position errors come from |
| XAIMC cylinder boring machines | Cylinder boring machines are built around engine block work; the TX611B is a general boring and milling machine for box components of any kind |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Set the component on the table and clock it true to the spindle axis
Step 2
Zero the digital display on the datum face or datum bore of the part
Step 3
Rough bore each hole in the system leaving finishing stock
Step 4
Mill any faces required while the part is still in the same setup
Step 5
Finish bore to size, checking diameter with a bore gauge after the first cut
Step 6
Drill and ream bolt and dowel holes from the same coordinate datum
Step 7
Keep the guideways clean and lubricated so positioning stays repeatable

Questions About Horizontal Boring Machine TX611B
What is the boring spindle diameter?
110 mm on the TX611B.
Which model of the series should I order?
The series includes TPX611, TPX611A, TPX611B and TPX6113A alongside the TX611B. Send us the largest component you machine and the bore diameters and depths required and we will confirm the model and travels.
Can it mill as well as bore?
Yes. Rough and finish boring, milling, drilling and reaming are all carried out on the machine, which is the point of keeping a box component in one setup.
Does it come with a digital readout?
Yes. The machine uses a grating ruler for coordinate measurement with a digital display device, so positions are read directly rather than counted on dials.
Is boring tooling supplied?
Boring bars and heads are specified against the bore diameters and depths you work on. Send us your typical part drawings and we will quote the tooling with the machine.
What voltage will the machine be supplied at?
We build to your market supply. Confirm your voltage phase and frequency at order.
What are your payment terms?
30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
