Nakamura-Tome have added even more productivity to its established twin-spindle concept with the launch of the Super NTY3 Turning Centre – a twin-spindle three-turret machine with Y-axis on each turret.

The Super NTY3 is unique in that it has independent Y axis capability on each of the three turrets. Each spindle has a dedicated upper turret, and the machine has a lower turret that can service either spindle, operations can be balanced to remove bottlenecks and deliver the shortest possible cycle times. Each turret has 24 tool positions, offering up to 7.1kW of milling power.

The Super NTY3’s unique configuration offers possibilities that include simultaneous machining with three tools, three Y-axes and four-axis machining on either turret.

On a component such as a pneumatic valve block, for example, upper and lower turrets can use the same program to simultaneously machine opposite sides of any prismatic features, or perform simultaneous helical interpolation on the upper and lower faces. In fact, Nakamura says that the Super NTY3 can reduce cycle times by up to 60%, compared to a twin-turret machine with just one Y axis.

The Super NTY3 can swing parts up to 175mm diameter with 820mm between spindles; it has a 42mm bar capacity through both spindles with 6000 rpm – all within a footprint of just 2780mm by 1970 mm.
