June 23, 2022

Asahi factory and latest equipment draw 500 visitors

Takamatsu Machinery (TAKAMAZ) held a private show at its new Asahi Factory in Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture, from June 6 to 10, 2022. The event welcomed approximately 500 visitors over five days, providing an opportunity to tour the Asahi Factory, which began operations in April of the same year.

A total of 14 machines were exhibited, including vertical lathes from EMAG (Germany), machining centers (MCs) from FEELER (Taiwan), and the newly developed robot system “ServoROT-01.” The show also served as a preview of two new models that will be officially exhibited at the 31st JAPAN INTERNATIONAL MACHINE TOOL FAIR (JIMTOF2022) in November.

Two new lathes improve efficiency and support CO2 reduction

The company introduced two new CNC lathes: the “XWG-3,” a gang-type parallel twin spindle lathe with a 3-inch chuck, and the “XTs-6,” a single spindle CNC lathe with a 6-inch chuck. Both models are designed for higher production efficiency than previous models and help reduce CO2 emissions through improved energy-saving features.

“In developing these new models, we also took into consideration the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and carbon neutrality,” said Soichiro Takamatsu, President of Takamatsu Machinery.
