The FX-600 is a key model in the JTEKT Takisawa FX Series, developed to maximize production efficiency and flexibility for both high-torque and high-speed turning applications. The machine’s architecture is based on a twin-spindle, twin-turret design, which allows for simultaneous machining of two parts or sequential machining of a single part’s front and back sides without manual re-chucking, significantly reducing non-cutting time and overall cycle time.

The machine ensures longevity and high precision through its construction, which includes built-in spindles and highly rigid box guideways on the X and Y axes for excellent vibration damping and stable cutting, even under heavy loads. The FX-600 boasts a maximum turning diameter of 11.8 inches (300 mm) and a maximum turning length of 20 inches (510 mm), making it suitable for a wide range of components. Power is delivered by a robust spindle motor (15/10 HP or 11/7.5 kW) driving the 6-inch chuck at speeds up to 6000 RPM. Its versatility is underlined by specialized specifications for ferrous, non-ferrous, and high-temp alloy materials, making it a reliable workhorse for diverse manufacturing environments.
