Overview

The Takamaz XW-60M is the live-tool counterpart of the XW-60 twin-spindle chucker. It keeps the two 7.5 / 5.5 kW spindles, the 6 in collet (5 in optional) and the short 125 mm (4.9 in) X and 140 mm (5.5 in) Z strokes, and adds rotating tools: the turret row reads 10-station turret × 2, and the live tool rows list 10 (One side) tools at 4,000 rpm.

What the driven tools buy is finishing small parts complete. A drill Ø13 mm and taps from M4 to M10 (the table gives M4~M10) cover the cross holes, bolt circles on a flange face and tapped ports that would otherwise send a part to a drilling cell after turning. On a twin-spindle machine that matters twice, because both operations of a part can be done in one cell with no secondary handling.

The tool count line says 10 (One side). Read literally, that suggests the rotating tools are counted for one side, so confirm with Takamaz whether both turrets are driven or only one, since it decides whether milled features can be put on either operation.

The spindles run to 4,500 rpm, or 6,000 optional, and the live tools to 4,000 rpm. That suits drilling and tapping in the listed range better than fine milling with very small cutters. Spindle bearing I.D. is Ø75 mm (Ø65 mm optional). Rapids are X 21 m/min and Z 18 m/min.

Workpiece rows give φ60 in diameter and a length of 60 with a load capacity of 1.0, and the control is listed as TAKAMAZ & FANUC 0i-TF. Buyers with turning-only work can save the rotating tool package by looking at the XW-60, which has 8-station turrets on the same strokes.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Rotating tools at 4,000 rpm with drill Ø13 mm and tap M4~M10 capacity finish cross holes and threads in the cell
10-station turret × 2 gives each operation more tool positions than the 8-station turrets of the XW-60
Two 7.5 / 5.5 kW spindles run both operations of a part at once
Spindle speed of 4,500 rpm standard, 6,000 rpm optional
X 21 m/min and Z 18 m/min rapids on short 125 mm (4.9 in) and 140 mm (5.5 in) strokes

Limitations

The live tool count is given as 10 (One side), so milling may be limited to one turret; confirm before quoting a job
Live tools top out at 4,000 rpm, slow for very small end mills
Strokes of 125 mm (4.9 in) in X and 140 mm (5.5 in) in Z restrict it to short parts
Taps beyond M10 and drills beyond Ø13 mm are outside the listed live tool capacity

Best For

Small flanges and hubs needing cross holes or tapped bolt circles Done-in-one production of short chucked parts on two spindles Tapping from M4 to M10 without a secondary drilling operation High-volume parts within the φ60 workpiece row

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the Takamaz XW-60M add over the XW-60?

Rotating tools and larger turrets. The XW-60M has 10-station turret × 2 and live tools listed as 10 (One side) tools at 4,000 rpm, with drill Ø13 mm and tap M4~M10 capacity. The XW-60 has 8-station turrets and no live tool rows. Spindles, collets and travels are the same.

02 Are both turrets on the XW-60M fitted with driven tools?

The table does not say clearly. The live tool count is written as 10 (One side) tools, which suggests driven positions on one side only. Ask Takamaz to confirm which turret carries the rotating tools before planning milled features on both operations.

03 What size holes and threads can the XW-60M make with live tools?

The live tool capacity is drill Ø13 mm and tap M4~M10, at up to 4,000 rpm. Holes larger than 13 mm or threads larger than M10 would have to be interpolated, if the part allows, or done on another machine.

04 What travels and rapids does the XW-60M have?

X travel is 125 mm (4.9 in) and Z travel is 140 mm (5.5 in). Rapid traverse is X 21 m/min and Z 18 m/min. The short strokes keep the machine compact and limit it to small chucked parts held in a 6 in collet (5 in optional).
