Nakamura-Tome SC-300

The Nakamura-Tome SC-300 is a high-rigidity CNC turning center built for precision machining of medium to large chuck work and shaft components. As part of Nakamura-Tome's Super Series lineup, the SC-300 prioritizes thermal stability, heavy-duty spindle performance, and a large machining envelope, making it a strong choice for automotive, hydraulic, and general precision machining applications where surface finish and dimensional repeatability are critical.

The SC-300 features a 12-inch chuck capacity and a powerful spindle with high torque output suited to interrupted cuts, facing large-diameter flanges, and deep turning passes in alloy steel and cast iron. A 12-station turret accommodates driven tooling, enabling in-cycle drilling, milling, and tapping to be performed without secondary setups. The machine's slant-bed construction positions the turret above the spindle centerline, improving chip flow and providing the operator with excellent sightlines to the cutting zone.

Nakamura-Tome builds the SC-300 with high-precision roller guideways and precision ballscrews, contributing to the machine's long-term geometric accuracy. The thermal compensation system monitors key machine elements and applies corrections in real time, sustaining part quality across production shifts that span changes in ambient temperature. Coolant-through tooling is supported for deep-hole drilling and extended tool life in difficult materials.

The SC-300 runs on the FANUC 32i-B control with Nakamura-Tome's NTControl interface, which simplifies setup, tool management, and machining parameter selection. For job shops and production facilities that need a dependable, capable CNC lathe for a broad spectrum of turning work across a variety of materials and part families, the SC-300 delivers proven Japanese build quality with strong local application support.
