TAJMAC ZSPS 10/32

The TAJMAC ZSPS 10/32 is a CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe designed for high-volume production of precision turned parts from bar stock up to 32 mm in diameter. TAJMAC, based in the Czech Republic, is one of the few remaining European manufacturers of multi-spindle automatic lathes and builds machines under the ZSPS brand that trace their lineage to decades of multi-spindle development in Central Europe. The 10/32 designation refers to the ten-spindle configuration and the 32 mm maximum bar capacity.

Ten spindles arranged in a drum configuration allow the ZSPS 10/32 to perform simultaneous machining operations at each spindle position, dramatically increasing throughput compared to single-spindle turning centers. While a single-spindle lathe cycles one part at a time, the ten-spindle drum indexes between positions so that a finished part exits the machine at every drum index cycle. For high-volume applications in automotive, hydraulics, and precision mechanical components, this architecture delivers throughput that no single-spindle machine can match.

The CNC control on the ZSPS 10/32 modernizes the traditional cam-driven multi-spindle concept. Servo-driven cross slides and end-working slides replace mechanical cams, allowing changeover between part families through program download rather than physical cam replacement. This reduces setup time from hours to under an hour in many cases and enables the machine to run shorter production runs economically without the setup penalty that makes cam-driven multi-spindles impractical below certain volume thresholds.

TAJMAC builds the ZSPS 10/32 for bar diameters up to 32 mm, which covers the dominant range of hydraulic fittings, automotive fuel system components, fasteners, and precision hardware parts produced on multi-spindle automatics. The ten-spindle count is higher than the six-spindle and eight-spindle configurations common in the market, giving the ZSPS 10/32 additional cycle positions for complex parts requiring more machining operations or additional finishing passes before cutoff.

New ZSPS 10/32 machines are typically priced in the $1,200,000–$1,800,000 range depending on configuration, tooling packages, and automation integration. The machine competes in a market segment where Schütte, Index, and Tornos are primary alternatives, and TAJMAC positions the ZSPS 10/32 on value relative to German and Swiss competitors while maintaining the precision standards required for automotive and hydraulics production.
