How much does the Nakamura-Tome WT-150II cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Nakamura-Tome. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Nakamura-Tome WT-150II is a two-spindle turning center for 6 in chuck work, with 190 mm (7.5 in) of turning diameter and 515 mm (20.3 in) of turning length. The main spindle is rated 15 / 11 kW at up to 5,000 rpm, and the second spindle 11 / 7.5 kW.
The Ø65 mm option is the main choice to make. It raises bar capacity from 51 mm (2 in) to 65 mm (2.6 in) on the L spindle only, and lowers the top speed from 5,000 rpm to 4,500 rpm. The footprint barely changes, from 3,675 × 2,258.2 × 1,858.5 mm to 3,675 × 2,263.9 × 1,860.2 mm (W × D × H). An 8 in chuck is also listed as an option to the standard 6 in.
Next to the WT-100, which runs both spindles to 6,000 rpm at 11 / 7.5 kW and takes 42 mm (1.7 in) bar, the WT-150II puts more power on the main spindle and takes larger bar. The WT-150II table does not list turrets or tool capacity, so ask Nakamura-Tome for the turret layout before comparing tool counts.
