NAKAMURA-TOME WT-100 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The NAKAMURA-TOME WT-100 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for multi-tasking precision turning and milling operations. It features dual main spindles, each with a maximum turning diameter of 7.48 inches (190 mm) and a maximum turning length of 19.8 inches (503 mm). Both spindles support a bar diameter up to 1.65 inches (42 mm) and operate at speeds up to 6,000 RPM, with an optional increase to 8,000 RPM, powered by 15 HP motors per spindle. The machine incorporates two turrets, upper and lower, with each turret hosting up to 24 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, allowing simultaneous use of two cutting tools to enhance productivity. The rotary tools are powered by 9.8 HP motors with speeds up to 6,000 RPM. The WT-100 supports up to 7 axes of simultaneous control, with options extending to 8 axes, including secondary milling and drilling functions both on-center and optionally off-center, as well as 'C' and 'Y' axis capabilities. Rapid traverse rates for X, Y, and Z axes reach up to 630 inches per minute, with axis travels of 5.31 inches (X), ±1.3 inches (Y, optional), and 19.8 inches (Z). The machine features a 6-inch (165 mm) spindle chuck diameter and an A2-5 spindle nose standard, ensuring rigidity and precision during high-speed operations. Its configuration enables complex, high-accuracy workpieces to be manufactured efficiently with minimized cycle times due to dual-spindle, dual-turret design and enhanced tool capacity. This model is ideal for applications requiring simultaneous turning and milling with robust tool indexing and high-speed spindle performance.
