TAKAMAZ X-18 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The TAKAMAZ X-18 Horizontal Machining Center features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter and length of 12.6 inches, accommodating workpieces up to this size. The spindle includes an 8-inch chuck diameter and can handle bar diameters up to 2.01 inches. It operates at a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 RPM, powered by a 10 HP motor, with an identical second spindle offering the same RPM and power rating. The machine is equipped with a turret tool carrier capable of holding 12 turning tools and 6 rotary tools, with the rotary tooling driven by a 3 HP motor at 3,600 RPM. It supports simultaneous cutting with one tool and operates on 2 axes, featuring a travel range of 6.89 inches in the X-axis and 12.6 inches in the Z-axis, both with rapid traverse rates up to 472 inches per minute. This design optimizes precision and machining efficiency for medium-sized workpieces, offering high-speed feed rates and versatile tooling options for complex machining tasks. The combination of robust spindle power, rapid axis movement, and a multi-tool turret enables effective high-precision turning and milling operations typical of TAKAMAZ’s engineering standards.
