Overview

The Nakamura-Tome WY-150V is a two-spindle, two-turret turning center in which both turrets carry a Y-axis. It turns up to Ø225 mm (8.9 in) in diameter and 685 mm (27 in) in length, both spindles run to 6,000 rpm on 15/11 kW motors, and tool capacity is listed as up to 48. Driven tools are rated 7.5/3.7 kW and turn at up to 10,000 RPM.

That milling figure is what separates it from its larger sibling. The WY-250L, with 910 mm (35.8 in) of turning length, drives its tools at 5.5/3.7 kW and 6,000 RPM, so the WY-150V is the better fit when the milled content is made of small drills and end mills that need surface speed. Having Y on both turrets means off-centre holes, flats and slots can be machined on the part in either spindle.

Three spindle builds are listed. The standard one is φ51 with an A2-5 nose: 51 mm (2 in) bar, 6,000 rpm, 15/11 kW, and 6 in or 8 in chucks. The Ø65 mm option raises bar capacity to 65 mm (2.6 in) and power to 18.5/11 kW, with top speed falling to 5,000 rpm. The Ø80 mm option is for the L spindle only: an A2-8 nose, 80 mm (3.1 in) bar, 28/15 kW, an 8 in chuck and 4,000 rpm.

The machine measures 4,245.2 × 2,389.7 × 2,280 mm (W × D × H). Compared with the WY-100V, listed at 200 mm (7.9 in) and 588 mm (23.1 in) on 11/7.5 kW, the WY-150V takes larger parts and more spindle power while keeping the same 6,000 rpm top speed.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Both turrets have a Y-axis, so off-centre work can be done on either spindle
Driven tools at 7.5/3.7 kW and up to 10,000 RPM, faster than the 6,000 RPM of the WY-250L
Left and right spindles both run to 6,000 rpm on 15/11 kW
Ø80 mm option for the L spindle gives 80 mm (3.1 in) bar and 28/15 kW on an A2-8 nose
Tool capacity of up to 48, enough to keep tools for several part numbers loaded

Limitations

Standard bar capacity is 51 mm (2 in); 65 mm (2.6 in) and 80 mm (3.1 in) are options that lower top speed to 5,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm
The Ø80 mm option applies to the L spindle only, so the right spindle stays smaller
Turning length of 685 mm (27 in) is short for long shafts; the WY-250L reaches 910 mm (35.8 in)
Milling power of 7.5/3.7 kW suits small tools rather than heavy face milling

Best For

Bar parts with off-centre holes and flats finished on both ends Small-tool milling and drilling at up to 10,000 RPM Parts up to Ø225 mm (8.9 in) in diameter and 685 mm (27 in) long Larger bar up to 80 mm (3.1 in) with the L-only Ø80 mm option

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Do both turrets on the WY-150V have a Y-axis?

Yes. The table lists two turrets, both with Y-axis, and a tool capacity of up to 48. Driven tools are rated 7.5/3.7 kW at up to 10,000 RPM, so off-centre drilling and milling can be done on parts held in either spindle.

02 What are the WY-150V spindle options?

Standard is φ51 (A2-5): 51 mm (2 in) bar, 15/11 kW, 6,000 rpm. The Ø65 mm option gives 65 mm (2.6 in) bar and 18.5/11 kW at 5,000 rpm. The Ø80 mm option, for the L spindle only, gives an A2-8 nose, 80 mm (3.1 in) bar, 28/15 kW and 4,000 rpm, with an 8 in chuck.

03 Should I choose the WY-150V or the WY-250L?

The WY-250L is the long machine, with 910 mm (35.8 in) of turning length, an 8 in chuck and a 4,500 rpm left spindle, and its driven tools run at 6,000 RPM. The WY-150V turns 685 mm (27 in) long, runs both spindles to 6,000 rpm and drives tools at up to 10,000 RPM, which favours smaller parts with more milling.

04 How big is the WY-150V?

It measures 4,245.2 × 2,389.7 × 2,280 mm (W × D × H). Allow extra length for a bar feeder behind the left spindle and space in front for loading chucks and setting the turrets.
