TAKAMAZ WX-20A/B HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TAKAMAZ WX-20A/B is a dual-spindle horizontal machining center engineered for high-efficiency compound machining operations. Equipped with two independent main spindles each rated at 4,500 RPM and 10 HP, this machine enables simultaneous cutting with two tools, significantly reducing cycle times for complex part geometries. The spindles accommodate bar stock up to 2.000" diameter and support workpiece turning diameters to 8.270" with a maximum turning length of 5.500", utilizing 8.000" chuck capacity. Featuring dual turrets, the machine integrates 12 turning tool stations and 6 rotary tool stations per turret, with an auxiliary 3.0 HP rotary tool capability for secondary operations including drilling and milling functions. The four-axis architecture provides X-axis travel of 6.890", Z-axis travel of 9.060", with rapid traverse rates of 628 IPM across all linear axes, enabling quick tool positioning and reduced non-cutting time. The horizontal spindle orientation facilitates gravity-assisted chip evacuation, maintaining optimal machine cleanliness during extended production runs. This configuration supports complete part production in a single setup, eliminating secondary operations and enhancing throughput for bar-fed applications. The dual-turret design allows different machining methods to be performed simultaneously, making it ideal for precision components requiring turning, boring, drilling, and tapping in one operation.
