Overview

The Nakamura-Tome WT-100 is a compact two-spindle, two-turret turning center for small parts: left and right spindles both run to 6,000 rpm on 11/7.5kW drive motors, each with a 6 in chuck, and tool capacity is up to 48. Turning diameter is 190 mm (7.5 in) and turning length 503 mm (19.8 in).

Two turrets are the point of the machine. Each carries its own milling drive, listed as 7.1/2.2 kW each (x2), so one turret can work the part in the left spindle while the other works the right, or both can cut the same part at once. On a short-cycle part that overlap is where the time saving comes from. The turrets are listed with mid-position indexing, and the up to 48 tools give room for sister tooling on long unattended runs.

The spindles are matched. Both are rated 11/7.5kW and both run to 6,000 rpm, so the second side of a part gets the same speed and power as the first, and the work can be split between them for balance rather than by necessity. Bar capacity is 42 mm (1.7 in), which sets the size of part this machine is built for.

All of that fits in 2,630 × 1,923 × 1,940 mm (W × D × H). The WT-150II, by comparison, has a 15 / 11 kW main spindle at 5,000 rpm, 515 mm (20.3 in) of turning length and 51 mm (2 in) bar on a 3,675 × 2,258.2 × 1,858.5 mm footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many turrets and tools does the WT-100 have?

Two turrets, listed with mid-position indexing, and a tool capacity of up to 48. Each turret has its own 7.1/2.2 kW milling drive, so both can run driven tools at the same time.

02 Are both WT-100 spindles the same?

Yes. The left and right spindles are both rated 11/7.5kW and both run to 6,000 rpm, each with a 6 in chuck. The second operation therefore has the same power and speed as the first.

03 How does the WT-100 compare with the WT-150II?

The WT-150II has a 15 / 11 kW main spindle at 5,000 rpm, 515 mm (20.3 in) of turning length and 51 mm (2 in) bar capacity. The WT-100 runs both spindles to 6,000 rpm at 11/7.5kW, turns 503 mm (19.8 in) and takes 42 mm (1.7 in) bar. Both list 190 mm (7.5 in) of turning diameter.

04 What size bar does the WT-100 take?

42 mm (1.7 in). That suits small turned parts such as fittings, pins and valve components; larger stock needs a machine with a bigger spindle bore.

05 How much floor space does the WT-100 need?

The footprint is 2,630 × 1,923 × 1,940 mm (W × D × H). Add room for a bar feeder at the left end and for the chip conveyor and parts unloader.
