Overview

The Takamaz XTT-500 is a two-turret chucking lathe for shaft-type parts: two 8-station turrets, 105 mm (4.1 in) of X and 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z, an 8 in collet (10 in optional) and a spindle rated 15 / 11 kW running to 4,000 rpm. Workpieces are listed from 25 to 70 mm in diameter, up to 400 mm long and up to 8.0 kg.

The second turret is the defining feature. With two tool carriers working the same spindle, a long part can be cut by two tools at once, for example roughing at one end while the other turret works further along, or two tools sharing the stock removal on one diameter. On a shaft that is mostly turning time, that is how cycle time comes down without a second machine. Each turret holds 8 tools.

The envelope is long and narrow. Only 105 mm (4.1 in) of X against 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z fits slender work: the 25 to 70 mm diameter range and 400 mm length describe shafts, axles, pins and tubes, and the 8.0 kg limit is worth checking against blank weight, since a solid steel bar at the top of that diameter and length range can exceed it. Rapids are 18 m/min on X and 24 m/min on Z.

The XTT-500 carries the option list of this pair. The spindle can be uprated to 18.5 / 15 kW, the bearing enlarged from Ø100 mm to Ø120 mm, a 10 in chuck fitted and the top speed set at 3,500 rpm instead of 4,000 rpm; which options go together is not stated, so confirm the package. The XTT-500M on the same 1,695 × 1,830 mm (W × L) frame adds 4 live tools on one turret but lists none of these options.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two 8-station turrets, so two tools can cut the same part at once
Z travel of 450 mm (17.7 in) for parts up to 400 mm long
15 / 11 kW spindle, with an 18.5 / 15 kW option for heavier cuts
Workpiece range of 25 to 70 mm diameter and up to 8.0 kg
Options of a Ø120 mm spindle bearing and a 10 in chuck

Limitations

X travel of only 105 mm (4.1 in) limits diameter to slender parts
No live tools in the table, so cross-holes and flats need the XTT-500M or another machine
Spindle speed of 4,000 rpm, or 3,500 rpm with the option, limits finishing of small diameters
Workpieces below 25 mm in diameter are outside the listed range

Best For

Shafts and axles from 25 to 70 mm diameter Long parts up to 400 mm and 8.0 kg Turning-heavy cycles where two turrets cut at once High-volume shaft production with no milled features

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why does the XTT-500 have two turrets?

Two 8-station turrets let two tools work on the same part at the same time, for example at different points along a shaft or sharing the stock removal on one diameter. On long parts where turning takes most of the cycle, that shortens the cycle.

02 What size parts does the XTT-500 take?

Workpieces are listed from 25 to 70 mm in diameter, up to 400 mm long and up to 8.0 kg. Strokes are 105 mm (4.1 in) on X and 450 mm (17.7 in) on Z, so the machine is built for slender shaft-type parts.

03 What options are listed for the XTT-500?

An 18.5 / 15 kW spindle rating in place of 15 / 11 kW, a Ø120 mm spindle bearing in place of Ø100 mm, a 10 in chuck in place of the 8 in collet, and 3,500 rpm in place of 4,000 rpm. The table does not say which options are combined, so confirm the package with Takamaz.

04 How does the XTT-500 differ from the XTT-500M?

The XTT-500M has 4 live tools on one turret at 4,000 rpm, rated to drill Ø10 mm and tap M4 to M8. It shares the 105 mm X, 450 mm Z, 15 / 11 kW spindle and 1,695 × 1,830 mm footprint, but its table lists no spindle or chuck options.
