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 NTX 1000 is listed as a twin-spindle B-axis turn-mill center with a 390 mm (15.4 in) turning diameter, 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of turning length and 440 mm (17.3 in) of swing over the slide. The L spindle takes 90 mm (3.5 in) bar and a 10 inch chuck; the R spindle takes 65 mm bar and an 8 inch chuck. Both are built-in motors rated 22 kW / 18.5 kW. This model does not appear on Nakamura-Tome's current product pages, so check every listed figure on the machine itself.

The B-axis tool spindle swivels ±115° (230° total) and runs to 8,000 RPM as standard or 12,000 RPM as an option, rated 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) / 11 kW. Y-axis stroke is 160 mm (6.3 in). Tool capacity is 24 as standard and up to 120, with a 1.5 seconds tool-to-tool change, and a lower turret adds driven tools rated 5.5 kW / 3.7 kW.

The listed distance between centers is 978 mm (38.5 in), shorter than the 1,100 mm (43.3 in) turning length, so ask how each figure is measured before quoting a long shaft. With equal 22 kW / 18.5 kW on both spindles and 90 mm (3.5 in) bar on the L side, the listed figures describe a machine for heavy bar and chucked parts machined complete on both ends.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Both spindles rated 22 kW / 18.5 kW, so the second operation is as strong as the first
90 mm (3.5 in) bar capacity on the L spindle with a 10 inch chuck
B-axis tool spindle swivelling ±115° (230° total), rated 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) / 11 kW
Tool capacity from 24 up to 120, with a 1.5 seconds tool-to-tool change
160 mm (6.3 in) of Y-axis stroke

Limitations

Tool spindle runs to 8,000 RPM as standard; 12,000 RPM is an option
R spindle takes 65 mm bar against 90 mm (3.5 in) on the L spindle
Distance between centers of 978 mm (38.5 in) is shorter than the listed turning length, which needs explaining
Not on Nakamura-Tome's current product pages; the listed figures need checking on the machine

Best For

Heavy bar work up to 90 mm (3.5 in) finished on both ends Parts up to 390 mm (15.4 in) in diameter with angled features High-mix work with a magazine of up to 120 tools

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size parts fit the NTX 1000?

The listed figures give 390 mm (15.4 in) of turning diameter, 440 mm (17.3 in) of swing over the slide and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of turning length. Distance between centers is listed separately as 978 mm (38.5 in), so confirm which figure limits a long shaft held between centers.

02 What are the NTX 1000 spindle ratings?

Both the L and R spindles are listed as built-in motors rated 22 kW / 18.5 kW. The L spindle takes 90 mm (3.5 in) bar with a 10 inch chuck; the R spindle takes 65 mm bar with an 8 inch chuck.

03 What does the NTX 1000 B-axis tool spindle offer?

It swivels ±115° (230° total), runs to 8,000 RPM as standard or 12,000 RPM as an option, and is rated 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) / 11 kW. Y-axis stroke is 160 mm (6.3 in) and the tool change is 1.5 seconds tool-to-tool.

04 How many tools does the NTX 1000 carry?

24 as standard and up to 120 in the magazine, plus a lower turret with driven tools rated 5.5 kW / 3.7 kW. Check how many tools the machine you are offered actually has, because this model is not on Nakamura-Tome's current product pages.
