NAKAMURA-TOME NTX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Nakamura-Tome NTX is an advanced 11-axis horizontal multitasking machining center featuring dual opposing main spindles, each capable of 4,500 RPM with 25 HP, enabling simultaneous turning operations on both ends of a workpiece. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 17.32" in turning diameter with a maximum turning length of 43.31" and accepts bar stock up to 2.56" diameter with 8" chucks. The dual turret tool carriers each hold up to 24 turning tools with 12 driven rotary stations per turret, allowing three simultaneous cutting tools for enhanced productivity. The robust milling/drilling capabilities operate at 3,600 RPM with 5 HP on both center and off-center positions, supporting full C-axis and Y-axis functionality for complex geometry machining. The machine delivers exceptional positioning capability with X-axis travel of 24.8", Y-axis travel of 6.3", and Z-axis travel of 45.28", all achieving rapid traverse rates of 629 ipm. This configuration eliminates secondary chucking operations, reducing lead times and improving precision by maintaining part integrity throughout the complete machining cycle. The comprehensive 11-axis control enables simultaneous multi-axis interpolation, making the NTX ideal for high-complexity components requiring integrated turning, milling, and drilling in a single setup.
