Machine Comparison
Mazak INTEGREX e-420H vs Nakamura-Tome NTX 1000
Yamazaki Mazak vs Nakamura-Tome · Mill-Turn Machines
Summary
The Mazak INTEGREX e-420H and the Nakamura-Tome NTX 1000 are both mill-turn machines that finish turned and milled parts in one setup, but they are built for different part sizes. The e-420H is a large machine for long shafts and heavy parts; the NTX 1000 is a compact machine for small precision components.
Every size row favors the Mazak: 670 mm (26.4 in) turning diameter against 390 mm (15.4 in), 1,524 mm (60 in) standard turning length with a 3,048 mm (120 in) option against 1,100 mm (43.3 in), and 420 mm (16.54 in) of Y travel against 160 mm (6.3 in). It also carries 40 tools as standard against 24, though both can be expanded to 120. The Mazak runs the MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC; the Nakamura-Tome runs NTIS, based on FANUC 31i-B.

Verdict
Choose by part size. The Mazak INTEGREX e-420H suits aerospace, oil and gas and defense shops machining long shafts, landing gear and valve bodies up to 670 mm diameter and up to 3,048 mm long. The Nakamura-Tome NTX 1000 suits medical, automotive and fitting work on parts under 390 mm diameter, where a compact mill-turn and a FANUC-based control fit the shop better than a large machine.
