Overview

The Takamaz XWT-8 is a twin-spindle chucking lathe with an 8 collet on each spindle (Collet, 8 × 2), 11 / 7.5 kW per spindle at up to 4,000 rpm and an 8-station turret on each side. Turning length is 100 mm (3.94 in) per spindle, and the axes travel 150 mm (5.9 in) in X and 180 mm (7.1 in) in Z at 24 m/min.

The defining figure is that short turning length. At 100 mm (3.94 in) per spindle, the XWT-8 is laid out for disc-shaped and short cylindrical parts: hubs, collars, gear blanks and caps where the diameter matters more than the length. The workpiece rows list φ150 in diameter and a length of 80 with a load capacity of 3.0, which fits that picture of short, wide parts moved between the two spindles.

Spindle bearing I.D. is Ø100 mm, and the motor rating of 11 / 7.5 kW per spindle (written AC11 / 7.5 ×2 in the motor row) gives each side enough power for steel blanks of this diameter at the 4,000 rpm ceiling.

The footprint is close to square, 2,250 x 2,187 mm (88.6 x 86.1 in), which suits a cell where machines face an aisle or a robot from one side. The control is listed as FANUC 0i-TF Plus Type 0.

The XW-130M uses the same spindle rating and collet with 170 mm (6.7 in) of X and 220 mm (8.7 in) of Z, and adds driven tools at 4,000 rpm. The XWT-10 is the larger model, turning to 200 mm (7.87 in) on 18.5 / 15 kW × 2 spindles with 270 mm (10.6 in) of Z. The XWT-8 sits below both, for buyers whose parts are short and do not need driven tools.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two 11 / 7.5 kW spindles at up to 4,000 rpm, each with an 8 collet
24 m/min rapids on X and Z over short 150 mm (5.9 in) and 180 mm (7.1 in) strokes
8-station turret × 2 lets both operations run with their own tools
Near-square footprint of 2,250 x 2,187 mm (88.6 x 86.1 in)
Ø100 mm spindle bearing I.D. on each spindle

Limitations

Turning length is limited to 100 mm (3.94 in) per spindle
No driven tool rows in the table; the XW-130M offers live tools at 4,000 rpm
8 stations per turret limit tool count on complex parts
X travel of 150 mm (5.9 in) is shorter than the 170 mm (6.7 in) of the XWT-10

Best For

Short hubs, collars and caps up to 100 mm (3.94 in) long Two-operation turning of disc-shaped parts Twin-spindle production where driven tools are not needed Cells with limited floor space for a square machine footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size parts does the Takamaz XWT-8 handle?

Turning length is 100 mm (3.94 in) per spindle, and the workpiece rows give φ150 in diameter with a length of 80 and a load capacity of 3.0. Workholding is Collet, 8 × 2. The machine is meant for short, wide chucked parts.

02 How does the XWT-8 differ from the XWT-10?

The XWT-10 turns up to 200 mm (7.87 in) on 18.5 / 15 kW × 2 spindles with a 10 collet, runs at 2,800 rpm (4,000 optional) and has 170 mm (6.7 in) of X and 270 mm (10.6 in) of Z. The XWT-8 has 11 / 7.5 kW × 2 at 4,000 rpm with 150 mm (5.9 in) of X and 180 mm (7.1 in) of Z.

03 What are the XWT-8 spindle figures?

Each of the two spindles is rated 11 / 7.5 kW and runs to 4,000 rpm. The spindle bearing I.D. is Ø100 mm. Each side has an 8-station turret, and both axes rapid at 24 m/min.

04 How much floor space does the XWT-8 need?

The footprint is listed as 2,250 x 2,187 mm (88.6 x 86.1 in). Allow extra room for chip handling, coolant and any part conveyor or loader access around that outline when planning the cell.
