NAKAMURA-TOME NTMX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Nakamura-Tome NTMX is a sophisticated 9-axis horizontal multitasking machining center engineered for complex part production in aerospace and automotive applications. This dual-spindle configuration features two main spindles, each rated at 5,000 RPM with 15 horsepower, enabling simultaneous machining operations to significantly reduce cycle times. The machine accommodates bar stock up to 2.0 inches in diameter with a maximum turning diameter of 7.87 inches and impressive machining length of 30.7 inches, providing substantial capacity for intricate workpieces. Twin automated tool changers—upper and lower turrets—each manage up to 24 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, with three tools capable of simultaneous cutting operations for enhanced productivity. The lower turret features rotary capability at 3,600 RPM with 5 horsepower, mirrored by the upper turret's identical specifications. The machine delivers exceptional precision and rapid traverse rates of 1,179 inches per minute across X, Y, and Z axes, with generous travel distances of 22.44, 7.87, and 25.91 inches respectively. The Y-axis functionality enables complex geometries and off-centerline machining. This high-rigidity platform utilizes opposed twin-spindles on a horizontal machine bed with low-gravity design, ensuring stability during aggressive multitasking operations. The NTMX's comprehensive axis control and dual-turret architecture make it ideal for producing finished or near-finished components in a single setup, minimizing material handling and maximizing operational efficiency.
