Overview

The Nakamura-Tome WY-100V is a compact turning center for a 6 in chuck, turning up to 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter and 588 mm (23.1 in) in length. Its spindle runs to 6,000 rpm on 11/7.5 kW, and standard bar capacity is 42 mm (1.7 in). ChronoCut is listed as standard, and Nakamura-Tome's table puts it at 30% against the WY-100II without saying which measure that refers to.

Bar capacity is the main choice to make. The Ø51 mm option takes bar to 51 mm (2 in) and can be paired with an optional 15/11 kW motor in place of the 11/7.5 kW one. The Ø65 mm option is for the L spindle only: it passes 65 mm (2.6 in) bar and lowers that spindle's top speed to 5,000 rpm.

The NTY3-100V shares this 200 mm (7.9 in) by 588 mm (23.1 in) envelope and 6,000 rpm spindle but carries three turrets with Y-axis and up to 72 stations, and its frame is 3,864.2 mm wide against 3,849.1 mm here. The WY-100V table gives no turret or Y-axis figures, so ask for the tooling layout before comparing the two.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

6,000 rpm spindle for small-diameter turning, with 11/7.5 kW standard
Bar capacity can grow from 42 mm (1.7 in) to 51 mm (2 in), or to 65 mm (2.6 in) on the L spindle
ChronoCut is standard, not an extra-cost option
Compact frame of 3,849.1 × 2,245.7 × 2,255.3 mm (W × D × H)

Limitations

Standard bar capacity of 42 mm (1.7 in) is small; larger bar needs the Ø51 mm or Ø65 mm option
Only a 6 in chuck is listed, which limits chucked blanks to small sizes
The table lists no turret stations or Y-axis travel

Best For

Small bar parts up to 42 mm (1.7 in), or 65 mm (2.6 in) with the L-only option Turned parts up to 200 mm (7.9 in) in diameter Shops with limited floor space for a 6 in chuck machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What do the WY-100V bar options change?

Standard bar capacity is 42 mm (1.7 in) at 6,000 rpm with 11/7.5 kW. The Ø51 mm option raises it to 51 mm (2 in), with an optional 15/11 kW motor. The Ø65 mm option, for the L spindle only, passes 65 mm (2.6 in) bar and limits that spindle to 5,000 rpm.

02 How does the WY-100V compare with the WY-150V?

The WY-150V is the larger machine, listed at Ø225 mm (8.9 in) of turning diameter and 685 mm (27 in) of length with a 15/11 kW spindle. The WY-100V turns up to 200 mm (7.9 in) and 588 mm (23.1 in) on 11/7.5 kW, at the same 6,000 rpm top speed.
