Takamaz Takamaz XTS-6

The Takamaz XTS-6 is a compact single-spindle CNC precision lathe built around a 6-inch chuck capacity for high-speed production turning of small to medium parts. Designed as a workhorse for automated production cells, the XTS-6 combines a fast 5,000 RPM spindle with an 8-station turret and Takamaz's proven automation integration in an exceptionally compact footprint of just 1,105 x 1,380 mm — one of the smallest CNC lathes in its capability class.

The 7.5/5.5 kW spindle motor with 75 mm bearing bore provides the rigidity and power needed for production turning of steel, aluminum, cast iron, and brass. At 5,000 RPM, the machine generates excellent surface speeds across the 6-inch chuck range, enabling fine surface finishes on precision components without secondary operations. Rapid traverse rates of 18 m/min on X and 24 m/min on Z minimize non-cutting time for high-throughput production.

The XTS-6 runs on a Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control — a departure from the Mitsubishi controls found on some other Takamaz models. This gives shops already running Fanuc-controlled machines a familiar programming environment, reducing training time and enabling program sharing across the shop floor. The 8-station turret handles standard OD/ID turning, facing, grooving, threading, and boring operations efficiently.

Automation integration is central to the XTS-6's design. Takamaz offers three loader options: the standard SigmaiC60, the FC60 with touchscreen and Windows PC interface, and the advanced FGH configuration. Each loader system is designed for seamless integration, enabling the XTS-6 to run unattended for extended production periods. The ultra-compact footprint means shops can install multiple XTS-6 machines in cell configurations where floor space is at a premium.
