Overview

The Takamaz XD-10I is a twin-spindle CNC lathe with integrated gantry loader, designed to machine both ends of a workpiece in a single automated cycle. The dual opposed spindles allow the part to be turned on the main spindle, automatically transferred to the sub-spindle for back-end operations, and unloaded as a complete part — all without operator intervention. For high-volume production of parts requiring machining on both faces, the XD-10I eliminates the second-operation lathe that would otherwise be needed.

The main and sub-spindle each deliver up to 5,500 RPM with 11 kW of power, providing balanced cutting capability on both ends of the workpiece. Maximum turning diameter is 100 mm with a turning length of 80 mm per spindle, which covers a wide range of automotive, hydraulic, and small industrial components. The dual 8-station turrets — one for each spindle — allow simultaneous cutting on both spindles, effectively doubling throughput on parts where both ends require similar operations.

The integrated gantry loader is engineered into the machine's structure, sharing the Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control for synchronized motion between the loader, spindles, and turrets. Part transfer between spindles is handled automatically with programmable chuck pressure for thin-walled or delicate parts. The entire load-cut-transfer-cut-unload cycle runs without stops, keeping production flowing continuously across shifts.

Takamaz designed the XD-10I with production density in mind. The compact footprint houses both spindles, both turrets, the gantry loader, and the chip conveyor in a package that occupies only slightly more floor space than a single-spindle machine. For shops producing tens of thousands of parts per month that require machining on both ends, the XD-10I delivers the throughput of two separate machines in roughly the space and cost of one and a half.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Twin opposed spindles machine both ends of the workpiece in a single automated cycle, eliminating second-operation setups
Dual 8-station turrets enable simultaneous cutting on both spindles for maximum throughput
Integrated gantry loader with automatic part transfer between spindles runs complete parts without operator intervention
Compact footprint delivers the output of two separate lathes in roughly 1.5x the floor space of a single machine
Programmable chuck pressure on both spindles safely handles thin-walled and delicate parts during transfer
Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control coordinates all axes, spindles, and loader from a single program for simplified operation

Limitations

100 mm max turning diameter limits the machine to small parts only — not suitable for medium or large workpieces
Higher acquisition cost than a single-spindle automated lathe requires sufficient volume to justify the investment
8-station turrets per side offer limited tool capacity for complex parts requiring many different operations
No live tooling option on the standard XD-10I restricts the machine to pure turning, drilling, and boring operations
Takamaz service network outside Japan is smaller than competing brands like Mazak or DMG Mori

Best For

High-volume production of parts requiring machining on both ends such as hydraulic fittings and automotive components Automotive tier suppliers producing bushings, spacers, and coupling parts in quantities exceeding 10,000 per month Shops replacing two single-spindle lathes with one twin-spindle machine to reduce floor space and operator count Production of symmetrical parts like bearing spacers and valve bodies where both faces need identical operations Lights-out manufacturing cells for small turned parts requiring complete machining without manual handling Cost-per-part reduction programs where eliminating second-operation handling delivers measurable savings

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Takamaz XD-10I cost?

New Takamaz XD-10I machines typically price between $180,000 and $260,000 depending on turret and tooling options. The twin-spindle design costs more than a single-spindle XT-series but replaces two machines and an operator, often delivering ROI within 18-24 months at sufficient volumes.

02 Can the XD-10I run parts that only need machining on one end?

Yes. The machine can be programmed to use only the main spindle and its turret for single-end parts. However, this underutilizes the twin-spindle capability and a single-spindle XT-8 or XY-120 Plus would be more cost-effective for single-end work.

03 How does the part transfer between spindles work?

The main spindle holds the part while the first turret machines the front end. The sub-spindle then advances, grips the part, and the main spindle releases. The sub-spindle retracts and the second turret machines the back end. Chuck pressures are independently programmable for safe transfer of thin-walled parts.

04 What is the typical cycle time on the XD-10I?

Cycle times vary by part complexity, but typical small automotive components complete in 15-30 seconds total for both-end machining including part transfer. Simple parts like spacers can cycle in under 15 seconds. The simultaneous cutting capability on both turrets is key to achieving these times.

05 How does the XD-10I compare to a Mazak QUICK TURN with sub-spindle?

The Mazak QT series with sub-spindle offers more flexibility with C-axis, Y-axis, and live tooling options. The XD-10I focuses on pure throughput for simpler parts with integrated gantry loading. For high-volume simple parts, the XD-10I typically cycles faster; for complex parts requiring milling operations, the Mazak is more capable.
