▲"XT-8MY", the 8-inch CNC precision lathe with milling function compatible with the new loader

Takamatsu Machinery has released the latest models from its popular X series, which boasts a cumulative sales record of over 10,000 units. CNC lathes further evolved from the "XT-6," which made its debut in Thailand at METALEX last year, introducing the "XT-8" that can handle chuck sizes up to 8 inches and the "XT-8MY" with MY (milling and Y-axis) function.

Takamatsu Machinery's popular series that makes it easy to incorporate automation and labor-saving

"XT-8" and "XT-8MY" went on sale in 2021 and have already been delivered in Japan. The X series was developed to address concerns such as those who want to promote automation, but find it difficult to use robots for low-volume, high-mix production, or who cannot afford to invest in automated equipment.

✓Easy to use for automation of small-lot products due to easy setup changeover
✓Can be used as a manual machine according to needs and applications
✓Labor-saving at a lower cost than installing automated equipment

These points make the series easier to incorporate the automation that has been our forte.
