What This Machine Does
The TS60 is the small machine in XAIMC's seat cutting range, developed for the repair of small motorcycle and automotive multivalve cylinder heads. It uses air-float automatic centring and a motorspindle, so the cut is located from the valve guide itself rather than from how the head is sitting. The table fixture is also air-floated, which makes moving the workpiece between closely spaced valves in a multivalve head far less of a fight than sliding a mechanically clamped fixture. Capacity is sized to match: cylinder heads up to 600 mm long, 400 mm wide and 450 mm high, machining diameters from 16 to 60 mm, work head displacement of 8 mm and crosswise workpiece tilting from plus 42 to minus 15 degrees. For a motorcycle workshop or a small-engine specialist, the argument for the TS60 over a larger seat machine is straightforward: the same air-float centring accuracy without buying and floor-spacing a machine built for truck heads.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Air-float automatic centring locates the cut from the valve guide, so the seat is concentric to it
- Air-floated table fixture moves the workpiece flexibly, which matters on closely spaced multivalve heads
- Machining diameter range of 16 to 60 mm covers motorcycle and small automotive valve sizes
- Crosswise workpiece tilting from plus 42 to minus 15 degrees reaches angled seats without re-fixturing
- Motorspindle drives the cutter directly in the work head
- Sized for heads up to 600 mm long, so it fits a small workshop rather than a heavy engine line
- Cuts valve seats and machines valve guides on the same machine
Where Valve Seat and Guide Cutting Machine TS60 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- A seat machine sized for truck heads is more machine and more floor space than a motorcycle shop needs
- Closely spaced valves in multivalve heads make a mechanically clamped fixture awkward to reposition
- Seats cut off the guide centreline leak and burn valves after the rebuild
- Hand tooling gives a different seat on every valve of a multivalve head
- Angled seats cannot be reached without tilting the workpiece
Who It Is For
- Motorcycle engine repair workshops
- Small-engine and multivalve specialists doing head work in house
- Machine shops that take in small head work but do not need truck head capacity
- Distributors supplying motorcycle and small automotive repair equipment
Application Scenarios
- Reconditioning motorcycle cylinder heads in a two-wheeler repair shop
- Seat work on small automotive multivalve cylinder heads
- Cutting seats where four valves per cylinder leave little room to move the fixture
- Machining valve guides before cutting the seats so both stay concentric
- Angled seat work within the plus 42 to minus 15 degree tilting range

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed
Operations Performed
- Seat cutting
- Boring
- Guide machining
Quality Control
- Seat concentricity to the guide checked on a sample motorcycle head
- Air-float centring repeatability verified on the assembled work head
- Tilting checked across the plus 42 to minus 15 degree range
- Machining diameter range tested at both the 16 mm and 60 mm ends
- Machine run in and test cut before packing
Customisation Options
- Cutting bits and pilots specified within the 16 to 60 mm capacity for the seats you work on
- Table fixturing specified for the head types you handle most
- Supply voltage and frequency set to your market
- Manual and machine markings prepared in your working language
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| XAIMC TX90 valve seat boring machine | The TX90 takes larger cylinder heads; the TS60 is built for heads up to 600 mm long and a 16 to 60 mm machining diameter, which is the motorcycle and small multivalve range |
|---|---|
| XAIMC TL120XL long head machines | The TL120XL range exists for long commercial heads; on a motorcycle head that capacity is floor space you are paying for and not using |
| Hand-held seat cutting tooling | Hand tooling costs less but cannot hold seat-to-guide concentricity across four valves per cylinder the way an air-float centring work head does |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the cylinder head on the air-floated table fixture
Step 2
Set the crosswise tilt within the plus 42 to minus 15 degree range for the seat angle needed
Step 3
Let the air-float system centre the work head on the valve guide
Step 4
Fit the cutter for the seat diameter within the 16 to 60 mm capacity
Step 5
Cut the first seat and check width and concentricity
Step 6
Float the fixture to the next valve and repeat across the head
Step 7
Keep the air supply clean and dry so the centring and table float work correctly

Questions About Valve Seat and Guide Cutting Machine TS60
What size of cylinder head will it take?
Up to 600 mm long, 400 mm wide and 450 mm high. If your heads are longer than that, look at our larger TX90 or TL120 machines instead.
What seat diameters can it machine?
Machine capacity diameter is 16 to 60 mm. Send us the seat diameters you work on and we will confirm the tooling.
Is it suitable for multivalve heads?
Yes. It was developed for small motorcycle and automotive multivalve cylinder heads, and the air-floated table fixture is there so the workpiece can be moved flexibly between closely spaced valves.
How far can the workpiece be tilted?
Crosswise workpiece tilting is plus 42 to minus 15 degrees.
Does it machine valve guides too?
Yes. It is a valve seat and valve guide cutting machine, so both are done in the same setup.
What voltage will it be supplied at?
We set supply voltage and frequency to your market. Confirm your shop supply when you place the order.
What are your payment and trade terms?
FOB CFR and CIF. Payment is 30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
