Machine Comparison
Takamaz XW-130 vs Takamaz XY-120 Plus
Takamaz vs Takamaz · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Takamaz XW-130 and the Takamaz XY-120 Plus are both two-spindle Takamaz lathes, but they do different work. The Takamaz XW-130 is a turning-only production machine for flanges, caps and short hubs. The Takamaz XY-120 Plus adds Y-axis milling and uses its sub-spindle to finish bar parts complete.
Takamaz publishes few comparable figures for this pair, and the table has a single row. Maximum turning diameter is 130 mm (5.12 in) on the Takamaz XW-130, against φ170 mm (6.7 in) on the main spindle and φ135 mm (5.3 in) on the sub-spindle of the Takamaz XY-120 Plus.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Takamaz XW-130 | Takamaz XY-120 Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Max Turning Diameter | 130 mm (5.12 in) | φ170 mm main spindle (6.7 in); φ135 mm sub-spindle (5.3 in) ▲ |
Advantages
Takamaz XW-130
- Suited to turning-only production of flanges, caps and short hubs on two spindles
- Driven tools remain available as an option if the work changes
Takamaz XY-120 Plus
- φ170 mm (6.7 in) turning diameter on the main spindle against 130 mm (5.12 in)
- φ135 mm (5.3 in) turning diameter on the sub-spindle for back-side machining
- Y-axis milling for off-center holes, flats and slots
Verdict
Choose the Takamaz XW-130 for volume turning of chucked flanges, caps and hubs within 130 mm (5.12 in), where milling is not needed. Choose the Takamaz XY-120 Plus for bar parts that need turning and Y-axis milling finished complete across two spindles, or for diameters up to φ170 mm (6.7 in) on the main spindle. The table gives one comparable figure, so check spindle and tooling data on each machine's own page.
