TAKAMAZ XT-8 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 8-inch chuck size, accommodating a wide range of workpieces for versatile turning operations. With a bar capacity of 1.5 inches, it supports both bar-fed and chuck-mounted setups, ideal for batch production and custom machining. The machine is powered by a robust 15 HP spindle motor, delivering high torque and consistent performance for demanding materials and applications. Maximum spindle speed reaches 3,500 RPM, enabling efficient cutting and fine surface finishes across various metals and alloys. The maximum turning diameter is 12.5 inches, allowing for substantial radial work, while the machining length of 13.7 inches provides ample travel for medium-sized parts. An integrated tailstock enhances support for longer workpieces, improving accuracy and reducing deflection during machining. Live tooling capability expands the lathe’s functionality, permitting milling, drilling, and tapping operations without secondary setups, thus increasing productivity and part complexity. The combination of high power, speed, and live tooling makes this lathe suitable for precision components in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing. Its compact design and comprehensive feature set ensure reliable operation, repeatability, and ease of use for both prototyping and production environments.
