Covering a floor space of 240 m², the XYZ Machine Tools stand at last month’s MACH 2026 exhibition in Birmingham had something that appealed to every workshop. Akin to a classic rock band gig, there was new stuff, the trusted favourites and something a little different.
Several machines in the XYZ range are controlled by the Siemens 828D controls, aimed at giving manufacturers a distinct production advantage. The XYZ 65 LTY-S twin/sub spindle CNC turning centre is a case in point, allowing shops to get parts off the machine complete. Supplied with a 65 mm main spindle bar capacity and providing a maximum turned diameter of 380 mm (and mated to the 12-station BMT65 driven-tool turret), the LTY-S offers the opportunity to turn, mill and drill complex parts using its X, Z and Y axes.
XYZ says the simple transfer cycle provided by the Siemens ShopTurn software makes second-end work a breeze once the work sits in the sub spindle with all the functionality offered on the main spindle. Transition to the sub spindle ensures greater productivity with enhanced accuracy and provides the opportunity for lights-out running.
Continuing the turning machine theme at MACH was the XYZ CT52LR, which provides manufacturers of two-axis turned parts with a cost-effective solution when it comes to machine investment. Taking up only 2 x 1.5 m of floor space and built using the latest linear-rail technology, the CT52LR still benefits from a 10-station turret, 150 mm diameter three-jaw chuck and a tool-setting arm that allows users to get the most from this 52 mm bar capacity turning centre.
