TAKAMAZ XL-150 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

A CNC lathe engineered for precision turning operations with a maximum turning diameter of 11.02 inches, accommodating workpieces up to this radial dimension without interference from machine guarding or components. The machine features a distance between centers of 14.57 inches, establishing the maximum workpiece length capability along the spindle centerline. Equipped with a Fanuc Oi-TD control system, this lathe delivers advanced CNC automation and programmable path control for complex machining sequences. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 3,500 RPM, providing adequate rotational velocity for general turning applications on medium-sized parts and standard production runs. The 8-station tool turret enables rapid tool changes and simultaneous multi-tool operations, reducing cycle times and improving production efficiency. With a machine weight of 8,580 pounds, the lathe incorporates substantial cast iron or rigid structural construction that ensures high machine rigidity, minimizing vibration and deflection during cutting operations to maintain precision levels as tight as ±0.0005 inches. This configuration makes the machine suitable for producing round shapes with outer and inner diameters, handling turning, boring, and standard milling operations commonly required in small-to-medium parts manufacturing. The combination of moderate spindle speed with the specified turning diameter and center distance indicates suitability for precision work on non-ferrous materials or lighter steel turning applications where tool longevity and surface finish are prioritized over aggressive material removal rates.
