Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Nakamura-Tome. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Nakamura-Tome AS-200L takes the AS-200 envelope and stretches it: the same 290 mm (11.4 in) turning diameter, but 570 mm (22.4 in) of turning length and 760 mm (29.9 in) between centers. It can also be ordered with a right-hand spindle, which changes it from a one-spindle lathe into a machine that can finish the back of a part in the same cycle.

The left spindle runs to 4,500 RPM and is rated 15/11 kW (20/15 hp), with an 8 in chuck and 65 mm (2.6 in) bar capacity, or 71 mm (2.8 in) on the Ø71 mm version. The optional right spindle is a smaller unit: 6,000 RPM, 7.5/5.5 kW, a 6 in chuck and 42 mm (1.7 in) bar capacity. That split tells you how the machine is meant to work. Heavy turning happens on the left, and the right spindle picks up the part after cut-off for back facing, chamfering and drilling at higher speed.

Milling comes from driven tools rated 5.5/3.7 kW at up to 6,000 RPM, with 82 mm of Y-axis stroke and a C-axis speed of 600 RPM. On a 570 mm part that Y travel puts flats, cross holes and short keyways anywhere along the length, which is where a longer bed earns its place over the short machine. The turret is listed as 12 (max 24), with a 15-station turret as an option.

Rapid traverse is 24 m/min in X and 36 m/min in Z; the faster Z matters more here, because tools travel further along the longer bed between cuts. The table gives a height of 1,935 mm but no width or depth, so get the layout drawing before planning the bay.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

570 mm (22.4 in) of turning length and 760 mm (29.9 in) between centers on a 290 mm (11.4 in) turning diameter
Optional right spindle at 6,000 RPM and 7.5/5.5 kW with a 6 in chuck for back-working in one cycle
Left spindle rated 15/11 kW (20/15 hp) at 4,500 RPM with an 8 in chuck
82 mm of Y stroke with 5.5/3.7 kW driven tools at up to 6,000 RPM
36 m/min Z rapid traverse shortens moves along the longer bed

Limitations

The right spindle is optional; without it, the second end of a part needs a separate operation
Right-spindle bar capacity is 42 mm (1.7 in) against 65 mm (2.6 in) on the left, so the right side handles smaller sections
Turning diameter stays at 290 mm (11.4 in), the same as the shorter AS-200
Left spindle tops out at 4,500 RPM, which limits surface speed on small diameters

Best For

Shafts and pins up to 570 mm (22.4 in) long Done-in-one parts with the optional right spindle Bar work up to 65 mm (2.6 in), or 71 mm (2.8 in) on the Ø71 mm version Shafts with flats or cross holes within 82 mm of Y

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the AS-200L differ from the AS-200?

The AS-200L turns up to 570 mm (22.4 in) with 760 mm (29.9 in) between centers. The AS-200 turns up to 300 mm (11.8 in) with 427 mm (16.8 in) between centers. Turning diameter, the 4,500 rpm, 15 / 11 kW left spindle, the turret listing and the 82 mm Y stroke are the same on both.

02 Is the right spindle standard on the AS-200L?

No. The table lists the right spindle as optional, at 6,000 RPM and 7.5/5.5 kW with a 6 in chuck and 42 mm (1.7 in) bar capacity. Without it, parts that need work on both ends are flipped and re-chucked for a second operation.

03 What bar size does the AS-200L take?

The left spindle takes 65 mm (2.6 in) bar, or 71 mm (2.8 in) on the Ø71 mm version, with an 8 in chuck. The optional right spindle takes 42 mm (1.7 in), so parts transferred to it should be turned down to that size at the pick-up end.

04 What milling capacity does the AS-200L have?

Driven tools are rated 5.5/3.7 kW at up to 6,000 RPM, with 82 mm of Y-axis stroke and a C-axis speed of 600 RPM. The turret is listed as 12 (max 24), or 15-station as an option. That suits drilling, tapping and light milling along the shaft.

05 How tall is the AS-200L?

The table gives a height of 1,935 mm and no width or depth. Ask Nakamura-Tome for the layout drawing before planning floor space, and allow room for a bar feeder at the left spindle.
