Versatile machine tool range
05 August 2016
XYZ Machine Tools will highlight the versatility and diversity of its extensive machine tool range at Northern Manufacturing and Electronics.

The machine tools in the XYZ range appeal to a broad sector of engineering manufacturing companies, from one-man bands through to blue chip businesses. On the stand there will be a selection that highlights the range’s diversity including mills, lathes, machining centres and turning centres.
Taking centre stage will be three machines that benefit from XYZ’s ProtoTRAK control system, an XYZ SMX3500 bed mill, an XYZ SLX 355 lathe and the XYZ 2-OP vertical machining centre. These will be accompanied by the Siemens controlled XYZ 710 VMC and CT532 turning centre.
The ProtoTRAK control system on the SMX 3500, SLX 355 and 2-OP provides simplicity and ease of use, thanks to a wide range of conversational cycles, making it suitable for one-off and small batch quantities. The control can be operated without any knowledge of CNC, with operators producing parts with minimal training. Combined with the control the XYZ bed mills and SLX lathes provide a robust machining platform with solid Meehanite cast bases, Turcite-B coated bedways on the mills, and extra wide vee and flat bedways on the SLX lathes.
The XYZ 2-OP vertical machining centre, which also features the ProtoTRAK control system, is designed to be portable and allows companies to bring cellular manufacturing to virtually any machine shop.
