The range of machines from XYZ Machine Tools (Hall 17, Stand 200) offers customers a natural route of progression from manual through to multi-axis machining and turning centres. XYZ is further enhancing that progression with the arrival of two new and innovative groups of machining centres – the XYZ TMC (Toolroom Machining Centre) series and RMX 2-OP – both of which are on the stand.

There are four machines in the XYZ TMC range, all of which are fully equipped three-axis machining centres based on linear-rail VMCs from XYZ Machine Tools. The machines are available as 500, 750, 1000 and 1600 variants, with the number referencing the X-axis travel. Also on the stand, the company has brought its XYZ 2-OP machine, fully up to date with the latest RMX ProtoTRAK control. Offering a footprint of just 775 x 1380 mm, users can relocate it anywhere in the shop to relieve pressure on other machines by carrying out second operation work.
