Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Nakamura-Tome. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300 is a large turn-mill center with a 640 mm (25.2 in) turning diameter and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of turning length. Above the part sits a 15 kW (20 hp) milling spindle fed by 24 tools (40 or 80 optional); below it, a 12-station lower turret with driven tools at 5,000 RPM. The main spindle runs to 4,500 rpm on 15 / 11 kW, with 22 / 18.5 kW optional, and takes chucks of 8 in or 10 in, with 12 in and 15 in and up available as options.
The 640 mm (25.2 in) diameter is the figure that defines it. Flanges, housings and large valve bodies can be turned and then milled in the same setup, with the 15 kW (20 hp) milling spindle doing the heavy cutting. Distance between spindles ranges from min. 250 mm (9.8 in) to max. 1,350 mm (53.1 in), so short parts can be handed over quickly and long ones still fit.
The sub-spindle is the limit to plan around. It is rated 15 kW (20 hp) but runs to only 2,500 rpm, against 4,500 rpm on the main spindle, so back-end work on small diameters will run at lower surface speed than the front end.
Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in) as standard, with options for 71 mm (2.8 in), 80 mm (3.1 in) and, on the L spindle only, 90 mm (3.5 in). Larger bores lower main-spindle speed to 3,500 rpm (Ø71 mm option) or 2,500 rpm (Ø80 mmB option). The machine measures 4,529 × 2,670 × 2,615 mm (W × D × H); the NTRX-300L keeps the same 640 mm (25.2 in) diameter and stretches turning length to 1,600 mm (63 in).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Length. Both are listed at 640 mm (25.2 in) of turning diameter, the same main-spindle speed of 4,500 rpm and the same 15 / 11 kW power. The NTRX-300 turns 1,100 mm (43.3 in) long; the NTRX-300L turns 1,600 mm (63 in).
02
An upper milling spindle rated 15 kW (20 hp) with 24 tools as standard and 40 or 80 optional, plus a lower turret with 12 stations and driven tools at 5,000 RPM.
03
The sub-spindle runs to 2,500 rpm and is rated 15 kW (20 hp). The main spindle runs to 4,500 rpm. Plan small-diameter finishing on the main side where possible.
04
Chucks of 8 in and 10 in are listed, with 12 in and 15 in and up as options. Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.6 in) as standard, 71 mm (2.8 in) or 80 mm (3.1 in) with options, and 90 mm (3.5 in) on the L spindle only.
