Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Takamaz. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Takamaz XWG-3 is a twin-spindle gang-tool lathe for very small parts. Each of its two spindles is rated 5.5 / 3.7 kW, holds a 3 or 4 collet (Collet, 3, 4 × 2) and runs to 8,000 rpm, and each works with its own gang tool slide (Gang type × 2). Strokes are 160 mm (6.3 in) in X and 230 mm (9.1 in) in Z, with rapids of X 16 m/min and Z 20 m/min.

Gang tooling suits this part size. Tools sit side by side on a slide, so changing tools is a short linear move with no turret index, and on parts that need six or eight quick cuts the saving per tool adds up over a shift. With two spindles each running its own gang, one machine can turn both ends of a small part or two parts at once.

The speed row reads 8,000 rpm (6,000 ※). The table does not say what the ※ refers to, so confirm with Takamaz which configuration is limited to 6,000 rpm. The spindle bearing I.D. is Ø60 mm, small and quick, in keeping with work on the loader's listed size of 30 mm (1.18 in) diameter.

The loader is an option: MG30 / MG30H (optional). Its workpiece rows give φ30 in diameter, a length of 40 and a load capacity of 0.3 (One side). That covers small pins, bushes, nozzles and fittings and sets a firm limit on what can be automated on this machine. Bed width is listed as 1,040, inside an overall 1,340 (Bed width：1,040) × 2,130 mm footprint, which makes the XWG-3 a narrow machine to put into a line. The control is listed as MITSUBISHI M830VW.

The XV-3 is the gang alternative with a vertical spindle orientation, 10,000 rpm, 265 mm (10.4 in) of Y and live tools at 8,000 rpm; the XWG-3 table lists no driven tools.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two 5.5 / 3.7 kW spindles at up to 8,000 rpm, each with its own gang tool slide
Gang-type tooling avoids turret index time on short, many-tool cycles
Optional MG30 / MG30H gantry loader for parts up to 30 mm (1.18 in) diameter
Narrow footprint of 1,340 (Bed width：1,040) × 2,130 mm for a twin-spindle machine
230 mm (9.1 in) of Z stroke with 20 m/min rapids

Limitations

The loader handles only φ30 by 40 long parts with a load capacity of 0.3 (One side)
The loader is an option, not standard
No driven tool rows in the table, so cross holes need another machine
The 6,000 rpm figure marked ※ in the speed row is not explained and needs confirming
5.5 / 3.7 kW spindles and a Ø60 mm bearing I.D. are not meant for heavy cuts

Best For

Small pins, bushes and nozzles up to 30 mm (1.18 in) diameter Two-operation turning of tiny parts on twin spindles Short-cycle work with many tools on a gang slide Automated cells using the optional MG30 / MG30H loader

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the Takamaz XWG-3 have a loader?

A gantry loader is optional: the row reads MG30 / MG30H (optional). The loader is listed for a maximum workpiece diameter of 30 mm (1.18 in), with workpiece rows of φ30 diameter, a length of 40 and a load capacity of 0.3 (One side).

02 How fast do the XWG-3 spindles run?

The speed row reads 8,000 rpm (6,000 ※). Each spindle has a 5.5 / 3.7 kW motor and a Ø60 mm bearing I.D. Ask Takamaz which configuration the 6,000 rpm figure marked ※ applies to before relying on the higher speed.

03 How does the XWG-3 compare with the XV-3?

The XV-3 has a vertical spindle orientation, runs to 10,000 rpm and adds 265 mm (10.4 in) of Y travel and rotating tools at 8,000 rpm. Z travel on the XV-3 is 200 mm (7.9 in). The XWG-3 has two spindles at 8,000 rpm, 230 mm (9.1 in) of Z and no driven tool rows.

04 How much floor space does the XWG-3 need?

The footprint is listed as 1,340 (Bed width：1,040) × 2,130 mm (W × L). That is narrow for a machine with two spindles and two gang slides, which helps when several machines stand side by side in a line.
