NAKAMURA-TOME TW-30 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Nakamura-Tome TW-30 is a dual-spindle, dual-turret horizontal turning center designed for high-productivity machining operations. Featuring two independent spindles capable of 3,500 RPM each with 30 HP output, the machine accommodates workpieces up to 13.19" in diameter and 11.81" in length, with a maximum bar capacity of 2.8". The 10" chuck diameter provides secure workholding for precision turning operations. Each of the two 12-position turrets can hold both turning and rotary tools, enabling simultaneous cutting from both spindles to maximize efficiency and reduce cycle times. The machine offers 4-axis capability with X-axis travel of 10.43" and Z-axis travel of 13.78", supported by rapid traverse rates of 472 IPM across multiple axes. The twin-spindle, twin-turret configuration allows for simultaneous machining operations on different workpieces or different features of the same part, significantly enhancing throughput and part complexity capability. The horizontal construction facilitates optimal chip evacuation and ergonomic part handling, while the Fanuc CNC control system ensures reliable, repeatable machining performance. This configuration is ideal for high-volume production runs requiring complex turning operations with live tooling capability, making it suitable for automotive, aerospace, and general precision manufacturing applications.
