TAJMAC ZSPS 6/52

The TAJMAC ZSPS 6/52 is a CNC six-spindle automatic lathe capable of machining bar stock up to 52 mm in diameter, representing TAJMAC's entry into larger-diameter multi-spindle turning. While the 32 mm ZSPS variants address the mainstream precision turned parts market, the ZSPS 6/52 targets a distinct segment: larger hydraulic fittings, automotive drivetrain components, pneumatic cylinders, and industrial valve bodies that exceed the bar capacity of standard multi-spindle machines. The machine is manufactured in the Czech Republic and uses the same CNC servo slide architecture as other ZSPS models.

The 52 mm bar capacity opens the ZSPS 6/52 to component families that would otherwise require single-spindle turning centers or large-bore chucking machines, but at throughput levels impossible to achieve on single-spindle equipment. Hydraulic tube fittings in larger pipe sizes, differential bearing races, pump housing blanks, and heavy-duty pneumatic actuator bodies are representative applications where the ZSPS 6/52's combination of large bore and multi-spindle productivity provides a compelling manufacturing advantage. The six-spindle configuration is well-suited to these parts because larger-diameter components typically have fewer but more substantial machining operations per piece.

All slides on the ZSPS 6/52 are CNC servo-driven under Siemens Sinumerik multi-channel control. Cross slides at each spindle position handle external turning, profiling, grooving, and threading, while end-working slides perform drilling, boring, tapping, and facing. At 52 mm bar diameter, the machine must handle significantly higher cutting forces than smaller-bore multi-spindles, requiring a more robust spindle and slide design. TAJMAC's approach uses heavier spindle bearings, increased servo torque capacity, and a rigid cast iron structure to maintain accuracy and surface finish at larger diameters.

Bar feed integration for the ZSPS 6/52 involves magazine loaders designed for the heavier bar stock used in 52 mm applications. Hydrodynamic or fixed guide bushings are selected based on the material and diameter combination. The machine's coolant system is sized for the higher heat generation associated with larger-diameter turning and is typically equipped with filtration suited to the chip volume produced from larger bar cross-sections.

The ZSPS 6/52 is priced in the $1,200,000–$1,800,000 range, reflecting its larger structural size, heavier spindle assemblies, and extended machining envelope versus the 32 mm models. It competes in the large-bore six-spindle market primarily against the Schütte SC 52 CNC and comparable Tornos and Index configurations. For manufacturers who regularly produce hydraulic and pneumatic components in the 38–52 mm diameter range at high volumes, the ZSPS 6/52 offers a cost-effective alternative to repeated single-spindle turning cycles.
