With five models and various bed lengths to choose from, XYZ Machine Tools' new 'extra large' capacity straight bed CNC lathes can be supplied with either Siemens 810D conversational Shopturn CNC or Fanuc Oi TC CNC. The model designations - XYZ XL 730, XYZ XL 860, XYZ SL 1100, XYZ XL 1200 and XYZ XL 1500 - denote the mm swing over bed, with the between centres distance varying, depending on model, from 1m to 9m. The maximum cutting length is 300mm less than the between centres distance in every instance.

Spindle motor ratings range from 15kW to 37kW, providing ample power for heavy metal removal and large diameter turning.

All models feature a solid ribbed casting construction, and are fitted with a 160mm spindle bore - except the XYZ XL 730, which has a 130mm spindle bore - and four-jaw chuck as standard.

Similarly, all models feature two speed ranges, with the exception of the XYZ XL 860 and XYZ XL 1100 which have three speed ranges.

Equipment options include fixed and travelling steadies, gap bed and chip conveyor.
