Ideal For
- Job shops running high-mix, small-to-medium-diameter Swiss turning in the Ø20–26 mm range
- Electronic and connector parts manufacturers requiring high spindle speeds for non-ferrous materials
- Operations that want a cost-effective and reliable sliding-headstock platform without multi-path complexity
- Shops upgrading from cam-operated automatic lathes to CNC Swiss turning
- Facilities that value a convertible guide bush to reduce bar waste on premium materials
XE20/26 Features
Standard features that set this machine apart in demanding manufacturing environments.
Precision & Performance
- High main spindle speed (10,000 rpm at Ø20 mm; 8,000 rpm at Ø26 mm) is well suited to fast metal removal in brass, aluminium, and free-machining stainless for electronic and connector components.
- Back tool unit (4 positions: 2 fixed + 2 driven, ER16) supports simultaneous main and sub spindle operations to shorten cycle time on two-ended parts.
Ease of Operation
- Two bar-capacity variants — Ø20 mm and Ø26 mm — on a shared platform let shops standardise tooling and programming while covering a wide range of part diameters.
- Compact machine footprint (2,260 x 1,240 x 1,670 mm) and low power draw (2.2 kVA running) keep floor space and energy costs in check for multi-machine installations.
- Spline modular cross tooling (standard) and optional 3-face/counterface-driven tool units support flexible toolholder strategies without high dedicated-unit costs.
Built-In Extras
- Convertible guide bush (NH option) allows switching between guide-bush and non-guide-bush modes without a dedicated machine variant, reducing bar remnant waste on short parts.
- Standard cross drill (4 x ER16) plus optional Cross Unit 6 (6 positions) provides substantial live-tooling capacity for hex features, radial holes, and flat milling.

XE20/26 Questions
Answers to common questions about the XE20/26.
The XE20 accepts bar stock up to Ø20 mm and runs the main spindle at 10,000 rpm, while the XE26 accepts stock up to Ø26 mm and runs the main spindle at 8,000 rpm. The Ø26 variant also carries a higher-power main spindle motor (2.2/5.5 kW vs. 2.2/3.7 kW) to handle the larger material cross-section. Both share the same machine footprint, controller, and base tooling configuration.
Yes. The optional NH (convertible guide bush) configuration allows the operator to switch between guide-bush and non-guide-bush mode on the same machine. Non-guide-bush mode reduces bar remnant, which is particularly valuable when running expensive materials such as titanium or medical-grade stainless.
Standard live tooling includes 4 cross drill positions (ER16) at 6,000 rpm and 2 driven back tool positions (ER16) at 6,000 rpm. An optional Cross Unit 6 expands the cross station to 6 positions (ER11M x 2 + ER16 x 4), and the optional Cross Unit 5 adds 3-face/counterface-driven tool capability for multi-face milling.
