NAKAMURA-TOME BMT-1624L CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is engineered for high-precision turning operations, featuring a maximum turning diameter of 13.0 inches and a distance between centers of 21.3 inches, enabling the machining of medium to large cylindrical workpieces. The spindle nose is configured to A2-6, providing a robust and standardized interface for chucks and accessories, while the 2.0-inch spindle bore allows for the passage of bar stock or support of long workpieces. Power is delivered by a 15 HP spindle motor, ensuring ample torque for demanding cutting tasks, including heavy-duty turning and facing of steel, castings, and forgings. The spindle speed reaches up to 3500 rpm, supporting efficient material removal and fine surface finishes across a range of materials. The machine’s specifications indicate suitability for both general production and high-precision applications, with the ability to maintain tight tolerances and repeatability. While the controls make and model are not specified, the lathe is designed for CNC operation, allowing for automated, programmable machining cycles that enhance productivity and consistency. The combination of robust spindle performance, generous work envelope, and high-speed capability makes this lathe ideal for shops requiring versatility in part size and complexity, including shafts, bushings, and custom fittings. Its configuration supports a wide array of tooling and workholding options, ensuring adaptability to diverse manufacturing needs.
