High precision CNC machine can be connected to other accessories for meet the growing demand for production. In this issue MEGA Tech proud to introduce Takamatsu Machinery’s XT-8MYCNC with the latest innovations to meet the demand. There is also a system from FANUC that has come to support the CNC machine from Takamaz to be more efficient.
Our main business is manufacturing, selling and service / maintenance of machine tools. Since its establishment in 1958, we have endeavored to improve our technology with the motto “Provide machines that earn money for our customers”, and now we have many customers, both domestically and internationally, using our machines.
A machine tool is a machine that mainly manufactures parts by drilling or shaving a metal block. There are various types depending on the application, machine tools are called “machine that make machines” or “mother machine” as it also machines the parts for making machines, which play an indispensable role in the field of manufacturing.
Among the machine tools, we manufacture CNC lathes. A lathe is a type of machine tool that applies a blade to a rotated workpiece to scrape off excess parts and a CNC lathe is a machine tool equipped with computer. By controlling the movement of the blade with computer, high-precision machining of 1/1000 mm is performed.
A lathe is a machine that cuts by applying a blade to a rotating cylindrical workpiece. The method is similar to that of making Japanese KOKESHI DOLLS. Among those lathes, a lathe that cuts by moving the position of a blade under computer control is called a CNC lathe. CNC is an abbreviation for Computerized Numerical Control, which means to automatically control a machine with “numerical information” composed by values and codes. CNC lathe is indispensable in the manufacturing process of all industries such as automobiles and home appliances. Boasting computer-controlled machining accuracy of microns, Japanese CNC lathes hold the top share in the world. Products made with precisely machined parts generate a lot of profit by being competitive in the market. CNC lathes support not only the product level but also the economy from the ground up.
In order to automate the manual process, we offer lathes with in-house developed peripherals as well as customer-specific production lines that several units are connected to.
Providing customer-specific production lines that combine automation technology
Our production line is evaluated highly by our customers as we can respond to more detailed needs by using peripheral devices developed in-house which is not often found in other companies.
The latest innovation of CNC from TAKAMAZ is XT-8MY [8 inch] CNC 1 SPINDLE 1 TURRET PRECISION LATHE
Compact compound-machining lathe with Y-axis for superior performance
Long shaft machining for lengths up to 300 mm in the smallest space in its class
Supports machining of long shafts up to 300 mm in length. Square slideways are adopted on all axes to give a highly rigid structure.
While a tailstock specification can also be selected, we have achieved the smallest floor space in its class, being about 20% smaller than our competitors.
High power tool performance (BMT turret)
The milling unit with a motor output of AC 5.5/3.7/2.2 kW and a maximum tool size of φ20 mm improves productivity.
The turret uses the bolt mount system (BMT55), which can shorten the setup time. In addition, the turret half-indexing mechanism allows up to 24 tools to be mounted, also reducing set-up time (up to 12 power tools can be mounted).
New model F Loader can be installed
To improve user-friendliness, both the machine and automation equipment are controlled centrally through FANUC operations.
We provide an automation system offering peace of mind and reliability, including more efficient set-up work with the handle retrace function.
TAKAMAZ operating system adopted (F loader specifications)
In addition to the conventional FANUC screen, functions optimal for automated machines are featured. A support function is added to enable safe and easy manual cutting work for tool alignment, and also there is the traceability function that automatically saves the operating status to assist with preventive maintenance.
Improved units to support shaft workpiece machining
A wide range of units from tailstock attachments such as servo-driven tailstocks and built-in tailstocks to steady rests are available to assist with various kinds of machining.
